Down to the Wire

The timing of Kubrick’s death when he was making Eyes Wide Shut couldn’t have been more down to the wire in retrospect. Obviously, Kubrick didn’t know he would suddenly pass away, but when he did, he had just screened the final cut of the film to Warner Brothers less than a week beforehand.

Though, Nicole Kidman and many others claim that the film may have been edited further, but that’s kind of how Kubrick rolled in general.
