2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY (1968)

STARRING: KEIR DULLEA, GARY LOCKWOOD, WILLIAM SYLVESTER

May 18th-29th

In honor of the 50th Anniversary of 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY, the Music Box Theatre will present Stanley Kubrick's iconic masterpiece in a brand-new 70MM print!  This new print was created from a true photochemical restoration, printed off of the original camera negative.  The print will be sharper and contain better color imagery than ever before.

"For the first time since the original release, this 70mm print was struck from new printing elements made from the original camera negative. This is a true photochemical film recreation. There are no digital tricks, remastered effects, or revisionist edits. This is the unrestored film - that recreates the cinematic event that audiences experienced fifty years ago." - Christopher Nolan

Stanley Kubrick's dazzling, Academy Award?-winning* achievement is a compelling drama of man vs. machine, a stunning meld of music and motion. Kubrick (who co-wrote the screenplay with Arthur C. Clarke) first visits our prehistoric ape-ancestry past, then leaps millennia (via one of the most mind-blowing jump cuts ever) into colonized space, and ultimately whisks astronaut Bowman (Keir Dullea) into uncharted space, perhaps even into immortality. "Open the pod bay doors, HAL." Let an awesome journey unlike any other begin.
