Tantalizing Vegetables. Vegetables add flavor, color and texture to a boring chicken soup. Stir diced carrots or celery into the soup to add a sweet undertone and some color. Try diced tomatoes or sun-dried tomatoes for a tangy taste.
All interior scenes were shot at Elstree Studios as well, and do not depict the interior of the Timberline Lodge. Kubrick was asked not to depict room #217 (featured in the book) in The Shining, because future guests at the Lodge might be afraid to stay there. So a nonexistent room, #237, was substituted in the film. Curiously and somewhat ironically, room #217 is requested more often than any other room at Timberline.
The Shining is a 1980 British-American psychological horror film produced and directed by Stanley Kubrick, co-written with novelist Diane Johnson, and starring Jack Nicholson, Shelley Duvall, Danny Lloyd, and Scatman Crothers. The film is based on Stephen King's 1977 novel The Shining. The initial European release of The Shining was 25 minutes shorter than the American version, achieved by removing most of the scenes taking place outside the environs of the hotel.
