Rockwell, Scarlett To Star in Long-Lost Kubrick Flick

Stanley Kubrick walks among us. A long lost project co-written by Kubrick and author Jim Thompson will serve as the basis for a new film called Lunatic at Large, which Production Weekly says will star Iron Man 2 cast members Sam Rockwell and Scarlett Johansson. The new version of the script has been written by Stephen Clarke based on a Thompson-Kubrick treatment that was long thought to be lost but was unearthed a few years ago by the late director's son-in-law. Here's a New York Times summation of Lunatic at Large:

"Set in New York in 1956, it tells the story of Johnnie Sheppard, an ex-carnival worker with serious anger-management issues, and Joyce, a nervous, attractive barfly he picks up in a Hopperesque tavern scene. There's a newsboy who flashes a portentous headline, a car chase over a railroad crossing with a train bearing down, and a romantic interlude in a spooky, deserted mountain lodge. "The great set piece is a nighttime carnival sequence in which Joyce, lost and afraid, wanders among the tents and encounters a sideshow's worth of familiar carnie types: the Alligator Man, the Mule-Faced Woman, the Midget Monkey Girl, the Human Blockhead, with the inevitable noggin full of nails."

First, that carnival sequence sounds cool as hell. Secondly, what a title. And if the lunatic is Rockwell, all the better. There's no production schedule yet, no director, no studio, but there's plenty of history. Thompson, who's enjoying something of a revival with The Killer Inside Me, is one of the great pulp writers, and he worked with Kubrick on two of his early successes, The Killing and Paths of Glory.
