The dailies

One small step for man. Two lines for Neil.

1957, Cape Canaveral. Word is the Soviets might stage a lunar landing, and America can't lose an imaginary space race. So the brass hires the one man who can fake it better: Stanley Kubrick. Unlimited budget. Jet pilots who can't remember two lines. A front projection screen, meteorites from Antarctica, and a director who demands satisfaction.

Take 1“Two lines, Neil!”
Take 2The Beatles pitch Lord of the Rings
Take 3Polly, the telepathic cat

Did you know? The Beatles really did want Stanley Kubrick to direct them in a Lord of the Rings movie.
