An AI version of a lost scene from Kubrick’s The Shining. In its original release, between the shot of Jack frozen in the Colorado snow and the long zoom into Jack in the old photo of the Overlook, there was a scene where Ullman meets with Wendy and Danny in the hospital. It actually ran for a week before Kubrick pulled it because He realized it didn’t really help the movie at all. All copies of that scene would be destroyed, but enough reference material has survived for this little reconstruction.
Overall, I’m inclined to agree that He made the right decision in removing the scene. It communicates little that we couldn’t already glean from the rest of the movie. And, as expected, the AI can only do so much to make it look organic. And that’s not even going into the decision to interpolate footage from the movie or that random scene of Ullman’s apartment. It doesn’t fit in with the rest of the film at all, and there’s no way in Hell I’d still be capitalizing Kubrick’s pronouns if He shot it like that.
