Never too many Scoop, never too many. I wonder what happened to those 17 minutes of cut footage found in a Kansas Salt Mine back in 2010. Been waiting for the "Original Director's Cut" ever since!
I was under the impression that the footage included the outtakes / trimmings Kubrick made after the premiere, which ran longer than the theatrical version
What a movie! Keir Dullea was a great actor Scoop. Very intense with a great voice. He stars in another old film I love, Black Christmas along with Romeo and Juliet star Olivia Hussey. Its often cited as an inspiration for the slasher sub-genre that followed.
One of my absolute favorite films. When I was in my early teens I was fortunate enough to watch it on the big screen when it was re-released, which made quite the impression.
Fun fact: some computer scientists at MIT released a book titled "HAL's Legacy" which not only discusses the impact the movie had on them but the breakthroughs in computing needed to make the HAL 9000 a reality.

ReplyDeleteOh yes, I remember hearing about that, Arto. I'm thinking some of it may have been the unused footage showing life on Space Station 5.

Could be Arto,hopefully we'll get to see it at some point though.
DeleteFollow it up with 2010 - not nearly as good, but interesting nonetheless
ReplyDeleteI've got it, but only on DVD, with an odd aspect ratio.Has it been released on Blu-ray?
DeleteAhhh, the big screen experience -in your own living room!
ReplyDeleteYou'll have to invite the neighbours over, just to sit behind you and rustle chip packets!
Ha,ha!I know what you mean, Lewis, and don't forget the 'fiddling with your phone throughout the film 'bit as well!
