Academy to Voyage into the Making of “2001”
Beverly Hills, CA — The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences
will take audiences on a special behind-the-scenes journey into the
making of “2001: A Space Odyssey” during a program hosted by special
effects pioneer Douglas Trumbull and actor Tom Hanks, on Wednesday,
May 21, at 8 p.m. at the Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills.
Presented by the Academy’s Science and Technology Council, “2001 in
2008: A Cinematic Odyssey” will feature never-before-seen images of
and an onstage discussion about the technology used in the making of
Stanley Kubrick’s Academy Award®-winning science fiction epic. The
innovative special effects tools and techniques to be presented in
the program include the Slit-Scan machine, the “Sausage Factory”
device, the Jupiter machine and the front projection process, all of
which were used in the production of the film.
Trumbull was one of four photographic effects supervisors on the set
when filming began in December 1965 at MGM British Studios in
Borehamwood, England. “2001” was Trumbull’s first job on a feature
film, and working with Kubrick had a profound impact on him and his
career.
Trumbull recently aided David D. Larson, who has been researching a
book on the film’s history, in identifying and contextualizing “2001”
items from the Kubrick Archive in London, including original artwork,
memos, call sheets, photographs and other artifacts; highlights of
these discoveries will be included in “2001 in 2008.”
Oscar® winner and Academy governor Tom Hanks was a junior high school
student in Oakland, California, when he saw the film for the first
time. Many dozens of viewings later, his interests and artistic
choices reflect a continuing passion for this influential work.
Complementing the presentation will be a display of representative
filming equipment as well as actual items used in the film, including
a spacesuit and helmets, on loan from several private collections.
Established in 2003 by the Academy's Board of Governors, the Science
and Technology Council provides a forum for the exchange of
information, promotes cooperation among diverse technological
interests within the industry, sponsors publications, fosters
educational activities and preserves the history of the science and
technology of motion pictures.
Tickets to “2001 in 2008: A Cinematic Odyssey” are $5 for the general
public and $3 for Academy members and students with a valid ID.
Tickets are available for purchase by mail, at the Academy box
office, or online at www.oscars.org. Doors open at 7 p.m. All
seating is unreserved.
