The q screen panel discusses a once-lost screenplay Kubrick wrote in 1956. Now it's being auctioned off — but if the film gets made, will the story still resonate 60 years later?

Every Monday, the q screen panel convenes to look at big stories happening in the film and television worlds. This week, arts and entertainment writers, John Semley and Tina Hassannia, join Tom Power to discuss a once-lost script director Stanley Kubrick wrote more than 60 years ago. It's a screen adaptation of a novella called Burning Secret, and it's going to be auctioned off next week on Tuesday, November 20. But even if the film gets made, will the story still resonate 60 years later? The q screen panel shares their take.
