The Making of The Making of...

Some genius somewhere decided that there weren't enough flicks about Hitchcock...and then decided that two flick should come out at the same time.

Saw them both...liked one better than the other, hands down...and of course, it lead to THIS discussion:

So what if a movie was made about the making of "The Shining"? 

Oh shit...

And who would play who? 

We're glad you asked.

Stanley Kubrick:  Dominic Cooper

Stephen King:  Nicholas Hoult

Jack Nicholson:  Christian Slater

Shelley Duvall:  Rebecca Hall

Scatman Crothers:  Mario Van Peebles

Joe Turkel (Lloyd The Bartender): Burn Gorman or Joseph Gordon Levitt Or James Franco (ok now we're just having too much fun)

and so on and so forth for the rest of the cast because the film would really be focusing on Kubrick's day to day dealings with the cast...and who are the actual cast members he would dealing with the most?  So there you have it...your cinematic earwig for the rest of whatever.  Oh wait... now imagine if it was written by Aaron Sorkin... And now you want to watch it!!
