2001 4k news
Director Stanley Kubrick’s sci-fi masterpiece could be coming to Ultra HD Blu-ray later this year.
According to a report from The Digital Bits, Warner Bros. is prepping 2001: A Space Odyssey for 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray. Though the release has not been officially confirmed yet, The Digital Bits’ retail and studio sources indicate that the disc is being eyed for a March or April street date to coincide with the film’s 50th Anniversary.
2001: A Space Odyssey spans from the dawn of man to its title year. Stone Age Earth: In the presence of a mysterious black obelisk, pre-humans discover the use of tools — and weapons — violently taking first steps toward intelligence. 1999: On Earth’s moon astronauts uncover another mysterious black obelisk. 2001: Between Earth and Jupiter, the spacecraft’s intelligent computer makes a mistake that kills most of the human crew — then continues to kill to hide its error. Beyond Time: The sole survivor of the journey to Jupiter ascends to the next level of humanity.
Technical specs and supplements have not been revealed yet, but an official announcement is expected soon with more details. We’ll update this page when Warner Bros. releases more information.
2001: A Space Odyssey was first released in 1968 and comes from writer/director Stanley Kubrick and co-writer Arthur C. Clarke. The movie stars Keir Dullea, Gary Lockwood, William Sylvester, and Douglas Rain as the voice of the infamous HAL 9000 computer. A standard Blu-ray version of the film is currently available as a stand-alone disc or as part of the Stanley Kubrick Masterpiece Collection.
This video is from back in 2014, but Keir and Gary Lockwood (Frank Poole) talk to IGN about the reasons 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY is the most important SciFi film of all time. I’d have to say I agree with eveything they say. It still galls me how everyone keeps saying the most important film was George Lucas’ 1977 Star Wars. It wasn’t. Star Wars always has been more of an adventure film, while it has science fiction elements to it, it is still largely based on the Saturday morning serials that touches tangentially on the Joseph Campbell mythos of A Hero With A Thousand Faces. But if we judge which film had the most impact on the science fiction genre on a whole, 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY is by far THE most important film bar none.
I have two new images of Keir from 1971 where he hosted a CBS program called Camera 3 in what they called “a primer for 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY“. It looked like the program coincided with a television airing of the film. Keir of course played Commander Dave Bowman along with Gary Lockwood who played Dr. Frank Poole. Enjoy.
