About the Author
Notes
Index
JAMES FENWICK is a senior lecturer in media and communication at
Sheffield Hallam University in the UK. He is the editor of
Understanding Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey and author of
numerous book chapters and journal articles on the life and work of
Stanley Kubrick.
"Author James Fenwick discusses his new book Stanley Kubrick
Produces"— William Ramsey Investigates podcast
"Centrally concerned with financing, project development,
production logistics, management styles and marketing, this book is
a groundbreaking contribution to the ever-expanding literature on
Stanley Kubrick, a must-read for scholars and fans. Based on
exhaustive archival research, this study skillfully relates
Kubrick’s work on his films and on numerous unrealised projects to
key developments in the American film business from the 1950s
onwards, and tells a compelling story about the meteoric rise and,
yes, the fall of one of the twentieth century’s most important
filmmakers."
— Peter Krämer, author of the BFI film classics on 2001: A
Space Odyssey and Dr. Strangelove
"Bolstered with a tremendous amount of research in the Stanley
Kubrick Archives at the University of the Arts London, Fenwick
highlights how dedicated Kubrick was to maintaining control of his
work from the very beginning of his career."— Psychobabble
"James Fenwick has combed the
archives, including Kubrick’s own as well
as others, to fill a missing gap in our knowledge of this
legendary filmmaker, namely his role as a producer
particularly in those early decades from the 1940s through the
1960s. By locating Kubrick in the economic, industrial and
production contexts in which he worked, Fenwick provides
an invaluable service to scholars, fans, and critics, adding a
dimension to our understanding of his working practices hitherto
unachieved. In so doing, Fenwick challenges the image of
Kubrick as a controlling producer and future scholarship,
including my own, will have to take his findings into
account." — Nathan Abrams, author of Stanley Kubrick: New York
Jewish Intellectual
"We know about Kubrick the director, but this book digs into his
production credits. By utilizing overlooked archives and lots of
Kubrick projects including 'The Cop Killer,' 'Shark Safari,' and
'The Perfect Marriage,' Fenwick serves up a comprehensive
account of the legendary director’s life and career from start to
finish. "— IndieWire
