The Big Picture It is hard to imagine a world where Stanley Kubrick and Steve Martin would ever cross paths professionally. The public perception of the two figures, that the former solely deals with cold drama and the latter is merely a comedian, is misguided. Kubrick had a great sense of humor and a genuine fondness for comedy, while Martin's artistic taste was unquestionable.
Release Date July 16, 1999 Director Stanley Kubrick Cast Tom Cruise , Nicole Kidman , Madison Eginton , Jackie Sawiris , Sydney Pollack , Leslie Lowe Runtime 159 minutes Stanley Kubrick Had a Unique Vision for 'Eyes Wide Shut' For Stanley Kubrick, directing a new project requires mulling over concepts and extensive research.
Interestingly enough, Kubrick praised The Jerk, citing it as one of his favorites. This endorsement, along with White Men Can't Jump and Albert Brooks' rom-com about envy, Modern Romance, fueled the mystique surrounding an already enigmatic filmmaker. His admiration for comedy films seemed noteworthy.
Ultimately, this was the closest that Martin and Kubrick ever came to collaborating on a project together. Eyes Wide Shut would eventually be realized posthumously in 1999, starring the real-life couple, Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman. The shooting of Eyes Wide Shut encapsulated the Stanley Kubrick mystique that has mesmerized the film community for decades. Legend states that the film's production, which lasted roughly 400 days, was responsible for the eventual breakup of Cruise and Kidman.
