Seeing "2001: A Space Odyssey" in 70mm



Article: Christopher Nolan returns Kubrick sci-fi masterpiece '2001: A Space Odyssey' to its original glory - Los Angeles Times

Trailer: "2001: A Space Odyssey" in 70mm - Warner Bros.

Movie Site: "2001: A Space Odyssey" in 70mm - Warner Bros.

Press Release: "2001: A Space Odyssey" in 70mm - Warner Bros.



I got to see the 70mm re-release of "2001: A Space Odyssey" in New York City last month. "Dunkirk" director Christopher Nolan, and his cinematographer Hoyte van Hoytema worked for four months to get the prints ready for release.

I got to see the print at the Village East Cinema in the East Village in Manhattan. I have gotten the chance to experience "2001" in 70mm before. But, it was quite something to get to see it again. And, in this case, I got to see the direct print made from Stanley Kubrick's interpositive that he had worked on prior to his death.

I am hoping that more and more people get to see the film as it is hopefully sent out to more theaters across the country that are equipped with the same 70mm projectors that showed Nolan's "Dunkirk."
