BBC news article, and short video clip, here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/5228794.stm Ron Yost .. found this on 'the other' group.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 07-31-2006 05:24 PM                     Didn't Kubrick also burn part of that stage down while filming "The Shining"?

As a result, the fire delayed production on the next big film scheduled to shoot there: "The Empire Strikes Back." [ 08-01-2006, 12:03 AM: Message edited by: Michael Coate ]  |  IP: Logged
