On “2001” Kubrick had Pan Am, Hilton, Ibm, while NASA… 😅

The legendary world premiere of #2001aspaceodyssey took place 58 years ago today. A thread from a couple of years ago - it’s still good! 🥰

From a 1964 Stanley Kubrick interview with the Italian magazine “L’Europeo”

[Simone Odino @2001_italia]

From our friend Filippo Ulivieri here’s some new pictures of Kubrick taken in a bar in 1964 by a chilean journalist. I wonder if it’s the same Trader Vic’s (a favourite of his in NY) where he met for the first time Arthur C. Clarke on April 22, 1964.

@la_riviere The guy who answered “what if nobody changed the date in the calendar for 40 years” was funny though! Anyway I understand your pain: there is often confusion on which year “2001: A Space Odyssey is set” too! 😂

Sixty years ago today, some minutes after 7 AM, Judy Keirn showed up at the gates of MGM Borehamwood, London. She was the first actress/actor to appear in “2001: A Space Odyssey”, that officially started principal production on December 17, 1965. (1/X)

@warblingdorado @BadBaristaFilms @alamofilmguy It’s not. The vhs containing the interview was bought and ripped from a legit source several years ago.

[2001archive @2001archives]

@alamofilmguy @RealEOC Actually Kubrick had already given this explanation in interviews at he time of the release of the movie. Also the book had pretty much explained everything

[2001archive @2001archives]

@onanhussein Hi! I’m not sure where the original owner of this account (I took over last year) found the picture.

[2001archive @2001archives]

Hugyfot Hasselblad 500C underwater camera housing is a real found item repurposed by Kubrick as the Tycho excavation moon camera. Rumour has it that this was Clarke's personal camera he took diving back home in Ceylon (Sir Lanka) https://t.co/A5euYtDbBu

There’s always a good excuse to read Filippo’s work 👌

Did you know that #stanleykubrick sued the producers of Space: 1999? And that, intriguely, one reason was a possible TV series based on #2001aspaceodyssey? 1/2

The great Robert Shaw (actor and writer, best known as Quint in “Jaws”) passed away on this day in 1978. Did you know that in February 1965 Kubrick asked him to play an ape-man in #2001aspaceodyssey? Read about it here: https://t.co/G3as0cXuGo

@KubrickBlogjp If you look close enough the two actors are not Lockwood and Dullea but two stand-ins.

[Simone Odino @2001_italia]

They are sets, not models - the space station and spaceship models were built at the end of the principal photography, in the summer of 1966.

[2001archive @2001archives]

@TheFilmStage @jaredmobarak “Vigalondo”, but that’s ok

[Simone Odino @2001_italia]

A few years later Kubrick revealed that the picture was not as spontaneous as it seemed: it took him a while to make the newsagent look “suitably despondent”.

[Simone Odino @2001_italia]

The first concept drawing of 2001’s Starchild was done in early 1967 by artist Dorothy Dealtry, mother of make-up maestro Colin Arthur. Later Liz Moore created a clay sculpture based on Keir Dullea’s features, which was the basis for the final fiberglass model.

Happy birthday to Keir Dullea, born on May 30, 1936, here pictured signing one of my 2001italia sweaters (never worn ever since!) 😜 #2001aspaceodyssey
