The best part isn't that he called and asked, it's that after King eventually stammered out that he does believe in some kind of god, Kubrick replied "no, there is no god" and hung up.

Kubrick being The Joker IRL actually makes a lot of sense.

Professor Shark posted:I also suspect that Kubrick wouldn’t let him cameo in it, as he was doing in all his adapted movies at the time. King hadn't appeared in any movies when the shining was being produced, didn't appear in anything he wrote until Creepshow, and didn't start doing cameos in adaptations until Maximum Overdrive in 1986.

Correction, he wrote and Directed Maximum Overdrive. Also Cocaine probably deserves a credit as well.

I'd have to look it up again to be sure, but IIRC one of the reasons Kubrick's films were able to get away with so much is because he was so deathly afraid of flying anywhere that he basically marooned himself on Britain for the rest of his life - and since this was pre-internet, the studio execs influence over him after that point basically amounted to a few post-it notes sporadically mailed to his house.

I just meant the only thing he had appeared in before that wasn't something he had any creative control over, it was a cameo because he was friends with Romero and they were probably starting to work on Creepshow together at that point.

Rochallor posted:It's been years since I've seen it, but I remember Schwimmer being really convincing as a guy slowly realizing that his best friend is a murderer. "Juice!" (happy) to "Juice..." (sad) it's quite a journey. Genuinly, Schwimmer has a quite compelling but very odd and specific energy. He needs to be used well and if he hadn't blown up in friends he'd probably have found a niche as a strange, disconcerting character actor. Not a million miles away from the roles Patrick Fischler gets.

One of the late night phone calls was Kubrick telling King that he thought ghost stories were inherently optimistic because the existence of ghosts meant consciousness continued after death.

Going to the Ghost Bureau after I die hoping to get assigned something cool like “Slain soldier eternally fighting the battle of Gettysburg” and instead getting “Poltergeist that occasionally jingles the silverware in a house built in 1984”.
