65. Full Metal Jacket with Ken Shane

Ken Shane was born in London, England in the 1960s. He has been an assistant director for almost 40 years, and worked as a production manager during that time as well. One of Ken’s first jobs was working for George Lucas on a little box office flop in 1980 called The Empire Strikes Back. He continued working straight on from that time, and has over 100 film and TV productions on his resume. In 1985 he worked with Tobe Hooper on the insanely over-the-top space vampire classic Lifeforce as well as on Ridley Scott’s Legend. He was busy as well in 1987, working on Superman 4: The Quest For Peace, John Boorman’s Hope And Glory, and Steven Spielberg’s Empire Of The Sun. He went on to work on Tim Burton’s Batman in 1989. He would work with Burton again on 1999’s Sleepy Hollow, but not before being Second Unit Assistant Director on David Fincher’s criminally underrated debut, Alien3. Ken served as AD on HBO’s Band Of Brothers in 2001, working with Spielberg again, and Tom Hanks. Ken Shane Has worked with everyone from Tom Cruise to Meryl Streep, to Sir John Gielgud, Al Pacino, Gene Hackman, Christian Bale, Michael Keaton, Jack Nicholson, Johnny Depp, to Sigourney Weaver, Christopher Walken and beyond. He moved to Vancouver, Canada in 2004, and has continued to work steadily in the Canadian film industry, but what has this got to do with Stanley Kubrick? Well, Ken Shane was 3rd Assistant Director on Kubrick’s antiwar masterpiece, Full Metal Jacket. So now you will hear Ken talking about working with Kubrick, and other areas of his long career in the movie biz.
