Weidner says Kubrick was given a "deal with the devil" in 1962 after the Pentagon saw Dr. Strangelove.

He could not refuse. Once the deal was offered, it was his death sentence.

He was given an unlimited budget for 2001, and latitude and money to make any films he wanted for the rest of his life, if he would shoot the "moon landings. "

The two projects were  shot concurrently at Pinewood Studios in England.

Kubrick insisted upon July 16, 1999 as the release date for Eyes Wide Shut - the 30 year anniversary of the launch of Apollo 11.

Here's an excerpt from an interview with Weidner where he discusses Kubrick's moon landings and the fact that Kubrick tells the story in The Shining.
