HOLLYWOOD - The American Cinematheque presents a two-week engagement (Dec.
20-Jan. 2, 2001) of Stanley Kubrick's landmark science fiction classic 2001:
A SPACE ODYSSEY (1968, Warner Bros. Classics, 139 min.), projected on the
Egyptian's giant screen in a brand new 70 MM print for the first time in 30
years!
"I'm sorry, Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that," murmurs supercomputer HAL
9000 as it attempts to eliminate bothersome human astronaut Keir Dullea in
master filmmaker Stanley Kubrick's literally mind-blowing meditation on the
inherent dangers (and wonders) of technology, the limitless vistas of space,
and the future of the human race itself.
Based on a 1948 short story "The
Sentinel" by Arthur C. Clarke, "2001" was reconceived by Kubrick himself,
working with author Clarke to create the ultimate Journey into the Unknown.
But if you think you've seen "2001," think again - until recently, the film
was only available in a 35 mm. version that reduced Kubrick's legendary
visuals (and the spectacular 6-track stereo sound) to a pale shadow of their
true glory.
Before his death, Kubrick oversaw a painstaking, frame-by-frame
restoration of the film in 70 mm. - resulting in a version that looks and
sounds as good (if not better) than the original 1968 release!!
