What IF Kubrick hadn't died???


Really folks, if he was alive he would be releasing A.I., right about now. Yes folks, we do know that he did die on March 7, 1999 of natural causes in his sleep, at his home in Harpenden, in dee county of Hertfordshire, in jolly-olde England - where his family still reside too this very day!!!! R.I.P Sir Stanley, your Droogs are in dee house!!!!! So, what would of happened if he didn't die? Let us speculate? OK folks? Here's one scenario:

EWS world premiered in dee US on 13 July 1999, and had its theatrical release in Canada and dee US three-days later. So, for dee next few months Kub would of been occupied with that. Dee AI script was, more or less ready, and would of taken about six-months to perfect. Shooting on AI would of commenced sometime in 2000. Forget about dee dream of a 2001 release date, dee SPFx alone, which had taken him decades to perfect - waiting for dee technology to catch-up to what was in dee neither-regions-of-his-mind - so all in all, these SPFx would have taken him, at least, two-three years to produce. Even EWS took FOUR years to produce. This is 2006, and a SIX-or-so years production was certainly in order for dee Grand Master!!!! That would have been dee event of events, and have a bigger opening-day publicity that even what Gone with the Wind got!!!!

But that's just my opinion, OK? Anyone else have a comment, or what you think would of happened, "If Kubrick hadn't died?" Viddy well, until then.....
