 Celebrating
the 50th anniversary of
Stanley Kubrick's "2OO1: A Space Odyssey", Warner Bros. Pictures
will debut an ‘unrestored’ 70mm print of the director’s groundbreaking
science fiction epic at the 71st annual
Cannes Film Festival. Widely
considered among the greatest films of the 20th century, “2001: A Space
Odyssey” will return to select U.S. theatres in 70mm beginning May 18,
2018. Set for Saturday, May 12, the world premiere will be held during the Cannes Classics section of the Festival, featuring an introduction by award-winning filmmaker Christopher Nolan. The screening will also be attended by members of Stanley Kubrick’s family, including his daughter, Katharina Kubrick, and longstanding producing partner and brother-in-law, Jan Harlan. 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 audiences experienced 50 years ago. A longtime admirer of the late American auteur, Nolan worked closely with the team at Warner Bros. Pictures throughout the mastering process. Christiane Kubrick said, “I’m delighted that ‘2001: A Space Odyssey’ will be reissued in 70mm, and that Cannes has chosen to honour it. If Stanley were alive today, we know he would be in admiration of the films of Christopher Nolan. And so, on behalf of Stanley’s family, I would personally like to thank Christopher for supporting his film.” |

 Nolan stated, “One of my earliest memories of cinema is seeing Stanley
Kubrick’s ‘2001: A Space Odyssey,’ in 70mm, at the Leicester Square Theatre
in London with my father. The opportunity to be involved in recreating that
experience for a new generation, and of introducing our new unrestored 70mm
print of Kubrick’s masterpiece in all its analogue glory at the Cannes Film
Festival is an honour and a privilege.”Nolan will also participate in a Cannes Masterclass, set for Sunday, May 13, during which he will discuss his highly acclaimed filmography and also share his passion for the singular work of Stanley Kubrick. For this milestone anniversary, Warner Bros. will continue the celebration later this year when Warner Bros. Home Entertainment releases “2001: A Space Odyssey” for the first time in 4K resolution with HDR. Also produced in close collaboration with Nolan, the home entertainment release will be available in the fall of 2018. With “2001: A Space Odyssey,” director Stanley Kubrick redefined the limits of filmmaking and cemented his legacy as one of the most revolutionary and influential film directors of all time. Originally released in 70mm Cinerama roadshow format on April 4, 1968, the film ignited the imaginations of critics and audiences alike and its impact continues to resonate to this day. An award-winning director, writer and producer, Christopher Nolan most recently earned dual Academy Award nominations, for Best Director and Best Picture, for his experiential tour-de-force "Dunkirk", which in July of 2017 received the largest 70mm release in the last quarter century. His diverse filmography also includes “Interstellar,” “Inception,” the blockbuster “Dark Knight” Trilogy, “The Prestige” and “Memento,” for which he received his first Oscar nomination, for Best Original Screenplay. • Go to Stanley Kubrick's "2OO1: A Space Odyssey" in Super Panavision 70 |

 STANLEY
KUBRICK’S SCI-FI CLASSIC “2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY” COMING TO IMAX THEATRES FOR
THE FIRST TIME EVER(August 1, 2018 – Burbank, CA) – Continuing the 50th anniversary celebration of Stanley Kubrick’s science fiction masterpiece “2001: A Space Odyssey,” Warner Bros. Pictures is bringing the film to more than 350 IMAX theatres across North America for one week only, beginning on August 24. This marks the first time ever that moviegoers will have the opportunity to view the seminal film on the largest possible screen, creating a truly immersive experience. The announcement was made today by Jeff Goldstein, President, Domestic Distribution, Warner Bros. Pictures. The IMAX engagement comes on the heels of the widely successful “unrestored” 70mm film release of “2001: A Space Odyssey,” which was overseen by acclaimed filmmaker Christopher Nolan, a lifelong admirer of Kubrick. As part of the week-long IMAX release, four select theatres will be showcasing the feature on IMAX 70mm film: AMC Universal Citywalk IMAX, Universal City, AMC Lincoln Square IMAX, New York City, AMC Metreon IMAX, San Francisco, and Ontario Place Cinesphere IMAX, Toronto. The IMAX 70mm film print, to be shown exclusively in these four locations, was created from the recently released “unrestored” 70mm print—a true photochemical film recreation struck from new printing elements made from the original camera negative with no digital tricks, remastered effects, or revisionist edits. The additional IMAX theaters will be presenting a brand new 4K restoration of “2001: A Space Odyssey” in IMAX with Laser and IMAX Xenon projection formats. Tickets for the IMAX engagement go on sale this Friday, August 3. Widely considered among the greatest films of the 20th century, “2001: A Space Odyssey” was originally released on April 4, 1968, igniting the imaginations of both critics and audiences. With the film, Kubrick redefined the limits of moviemaking and cemented his legacy as one of the most revolutionary and influential motion picture directors of all time. “2001: A Space Odyssey” was directed and produced by Kubrick from a screenplay he co-wrote with legendary science fiction author Arthur C. Clarke. The film stars Keir Dullea and Gary Lockwood. |
