Ex-Pixar director Lee Unkrich on his book about Stanley Kubrick's The Shining | BFI Q&A

Lee Unkrich (Coco, Toy Story 3) visits the BFI Southbank to talk about a new book about Stanley Kubrick's The Shining, edited by the Academy Award-winning director. Released by TASCHEN the three-volume collector’s edition features hundreds of unseen photographs, rare documents from the Kubrick Archive and new interviews with the cast and crew.

In The Shining Jack Torrance accepts a caretaker job at the Overlook Hotel, where he and his wife Wendy and young son Danny must live in isolation for the winter. Danny experiences horrific visions from the hotel’s past, while a sinister presence influences Jack into unspeakable violence and Wendy struggles to protect her son. In 1966 Stanley Kubrick told a friend that he wanted to make ‘the world’s scariest movie’. A decade later, Stephen King’s The Shining landed on his desk and a visual masterpiece was born.
