Hi Tog,
true but Kubrick even being on the governments payroll was more free to do what he wanted. He was, as far as I know, the only director which had a blanque cheque from MGM to film whatever he wanted.
However, I see the point your making. So how's this one: even if Kubrik didn't share his secret receipe how to perfectly fake Moon gravity how comes that nobody in the mean time found out? The moon landing is almost forty years old and there have been many gifted directors who could have reinvent Kubriks technique. Let's propose to Quentin Tarrantino to make a nice deep space zombie romance set on Arisia.
