Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining gets explored from a fresh angle in Shine On – The Forgotten Shining LocationIndiewire reports today. The upcoming documentary, “certified by the Stanley Kubrick Film Archive and family estate,” is said to “capture the location scouting and making of the art direction for the Overlook Hotel at Elstree Studios.”

The documentary’s trailer will make its way online this Friday while the documentary itself will premiere on the Stanley Kubrick YouTube channel on Friday, July 26 at 2 pm EST.

Indiewire’s report details, “Michael Sheen narrates Shine On, which includes interviews with The Shining executive producer Jan Harlan, art director Les Tomkins, and Kubrick’s daughter Katharina Kubrick, who worked as a location researcher on the film.” They will share memories of the production while also revisiting the iconic studio locations.

“There have been so many rumors about some of the sets from The Shining still existing at Elstree Studios, but to actually find them and walk around them was like discovering a holy grail of film history,” director/producer Paul King said in a statement.

Katharina Kubrick added, “The production of The Shining has been well documented and analyzed, but this is a story which has never been told. Pivotal scenes from the film took place in these areas, so going back to them felt like stepping into the movie itself.”
