According to author Stephen Thrower in his book Nightmare USA, Stanley Kubrick considered adapting Blue Movie for film, but the project never materialized. All the same, the book is dedicated to Kubrick.[1] Thrower speculates that the film-within-the-film Alex is forced to watch in Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange is the closest we'll come to a visualization of such a collaboration.[2]
