Yep, as the title says. Keir and Gary are going to be making an appearance on behalf of 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY. Where? At the Toronto International Film Festival. Keir and Gary will introduce the film and host a Q&A afterwards. I’m not sure of the venue, yet, but when I finally find out I’ll either edit this post or make a new one if this one has moved down. I do know the date is 01 November, 2014 at 2:00 PM. Again, not sure of the location…but I know it’s somewhere in the big T.O. That’s Toronto for those not initiated with the Canadian sensibility. Apparently this is part of a week long celebration at TIFF Cinematheque to honour the film and its amazing director, Stanley Kubrick. I’ll keep you posted as the event comes up. I won’t be able to attend, unfortunately my personal life sort of precludes that. Here’s some of the info.

Part of 2001: A Space Odyssey introduced by Keir Dullea and Gary Lockwood

One of the most revered films of all time, Stanley Kubrick’s science-fiction masterpiece about a doomed intergalactic mission is still “the ultimate trip.”

“The ultimate trip,” Kubrick’s science-fiction masterpiece has survived innumerable parodies, references and rip-offs with its awe-inspiring power intact. Tracing a cosmic mystery from the dawn of mankind to the farthest reaches of time and space, 2001 chronicles an intergalactic mission to find the origin of a mysterious black monolith discovered by American astronauts on the moon — a mission complicated when the ship’s renegade computer HAL 9000 decides that its human cargo is inadequate to carry out such an important task. When they realize that HAL is turning on them, astronauts Dave Bowman (Keir Dullea) and Frank Poole (Gary Lockwood) have to outwit the omniscient machine to survive. Featuring spectacular special effects by Douglas Trumbull, 2001 pointedly speculates on what it means to be human in an age dominated by technology, and what the next stage of human evolution could potentially be.

Our week-long engagement of 2001: A Space Odyssey plays in conjunction with the TIFF Cinematheque retrospective Stanley Kubrick: A Cinematic Odyssey.
