Get closer than ever to the movie that changed the movies. This behind-the-scenes spectacular of
2001: A Space Odyssey
sheds light on the lead actors, senior production designers, special-effects experts and
masterminds of Stanley Kubrick and Arthur C. Clarke
, who together revolutionized science fiction and the art of cinema.
Previously available as part of the multi-volume and instant sell-out Collector's Edition, this comprehensive visual record includes
on and off set photographs, pre-production paintings, and conceptual designs
from the Kubrick archives. These dazzling images offer insight both into Kubrick's meticulous directorial methods, and into the
mysteries and magnetism of a film at once vast in scope and intricate in its exploration of our relationship to technology
.
Written and researched over several years by the outer space, special effects, and technology journalist Piers Bizony, this compendium is both an exhaustive labour of love and a
monument to a masterpiece of 20th century culture
