Stanley Kubrick’s Daughter Finally Responds to the Eyes Wide Shut Conspiracy Theories Amplified by Joe Rogan
Vivian Kubrick said she never saw evidence of the alleged cut footage and called the claim an actual conspiracy theory, not an established fact.
- Vivian Kubrick addresses the long-circulating conspiracy theory claiming 20 minutes of footage were cut from her father Stanley Kubrick's final film, Eyes Wide Shut, after his death.
- The rumor alleges the original 179-minute cut featured a darker ending involving a child sex ring, with the theory bolstered by a 2024 podcast episode where screenwriter Roger Avary discussed Jeffrey Epstein.
- Once Eyes Wide Shut reached 'picture locked' status, the negative was physically cut; Vivian explains "you couldn't simply undo those cuts and rearrange the film."
- Vivian dismisses the story as "an actual conspiracy theory, not an established fact" and notes her father incinerated outtakes to prevent studios from later re-editing his work.
- Previously, film editor Nigel Galt stated Kubrick's final edit is essentially the same as the released version, while Kubrick has faced other wild theories including Apollo landing conspiracy claims.
