Eyes Wide Shut The Eyepainter Edit
I have always loved most Kubrick films. A Clockwork Orange became one of my favorite movies as a kid when I snagged the video disc (the ones that look like records not big cds) from one of my parent’s video disc rental stores. 2001 changed my entire outlook on SF films when I was a kid. I was that nerd who ducked his head in the Star Wars crowd because I liked Kubrick more than Lucas.
That being said, I was immediately drawn to Eyes Wide Shut when it was released. I couldn’t fathom Top Gun Tom and his trophy wife in a Kubrick film.
I was surprised, neither were bad and seemed entirely in their element playing surreal characters.
When my friend, Eyepainter first announced that they were going to put their spin on this Kubrick classic, his last dance before the big one, I was curious?
The length of time that it took to finish the commentary track made me almost forget about the edit. The controversy surrounding the nudity in the art that I did for the edit kept me interested (the original uncensored art is a bonus included in the download).
I’m not going to give the edit away but I will say that Eyepainter accomplished what they set out to do with this edit. It’s top notch.
It seems a bit soft and a little grainy to me but that didn’t take me out of it.
Excellent work, as always, my friend! See you in Gotham City!
