Stanley Kubrick’s Daughter Addresses “Conspiracy Theory” About ‘Eyes Wide Shut’s “Missing 20 Minutes”

Stanley Kubrick's daughter, Vivian, has addressed a long-standing rumor about her father's final film, Eyes Wide Shut. The rumor claims that 20 minutes of footage were removed from the film, supposedly showing a connection between the film's elite secret society and real-life events.

Vivian Kubrick took to social media to deny the existence of the missing footage. According to her, she would have found out if such footage existed over the years. She stated that she did not hear anything about a missing 20 minutes at the time of the film's production or since.

Vivian Kubrick did mention that she was not closely involved in the production of Eyes Wide Shut, but she did work on the score for a different film after her father's death. The A.V. Club reported that Vivian Kubrick mentioned one alteration made to the film: the use of CGI to obscure nudity in the orgy scene, as requested by Warner Brothers.
