Stanley Kubrick Screenplay Ideas Unearthed With Focus On Marriage, Jealousy & Adultery
Three unrealized Stanley Kubrick screenplay ideas have been unearthed in the UK.

Married Man comprises 35 pages of typed script with handwritten annotations and pages of handwritten notes.

‘City On Fire’ Bosses Explain Why The Apple TV+ Series Deviates From Novel’s 1970s Setting
In Apple TV+’s City on Fire , which hails from executive producers and showrunners Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage , a suburban teenager must unravel the mystery of his friend’s murder after she’s shot in Central Park on Fourth of July in 2003. The series, which is set for a May 12 premiere, is based on the novel of the same name that takes place in 1970s New York — a time of severe financial crisis and widespread panic in the city due to a string of shootings (known as the Son of Sam murders). The show jumps forward in time to another period of uncertainty in New York post-9/11. “We felt like, while a fascinating period, [that era is] well trodden territory.
