2001: A Space Odyssey CUT SCENES - TOO FUNNY! You have to s

[Darth Ferret]

Here is something that people on this board might enjoy.<P>Of course "2001" is going in re-release later this year. <P>I am sure a lot of the people here have seen 2001 a billion times. But there are some scenes that wound up on the cutting room floor.<P>I was surfing STARSHIP MODELER last night, looking at the cool photos of 2001 spacecraft when I came upon these two images. Obviously, they were cut from the film. But you have to wonder what Kubrick was thinking in the first place.<P>For those who can't see the image well, pay close attention to the magazine the astronaut is reading.<P> <A HREF="http://www.starshipmodeler.com/2001/sut2_jp.jpg" TARGET=_blank>http://www.starshipmodeler.com/2001/sut2_jp.jpg</A>

Well, the text in the <A HREF="http://www.starshipmodeler.com/2001/2001ref.htm" TARGET=_blank>Starship Modeller 2001 reference page</A> says that the images are "either an out take or an odd casual set shot."<P>However, since
<OL TYPE=1>
<LI>the location is <A HREF="http://www.palantir.net/cgi-bin/image.c ... tion02.jpg" TARGET=_blank>the Orbital Hilton</A> in Space Station 5,
<LI>the flight attendant is <A HREF="http://www.palantir.net/cgi-bin/image.c ... moon04.jpg" TARGET=_blank>costumed for zero-g</A> in the Aries 1B Lunar Shuttle and
<LI>the actor is wearing a <A HREF="http://www.palantir.net/cgi-bin/image.c ... moon12.jpg" TARGET=_blank>lunar EVA suit</A> (Jupiter mission suits on the Discovery were coloured red, yellow, blue and green),
</OL>
it is not possible that this was ever meant as part of the film, which was as meticulous as it could be in its accuracy. Has to be some monkeying around on the set.<P>Muttley<P>Only small minds are impressed by large numbers.

This was part of a project that never took off. The 2001 Oddisey/Clockwork Orange crossover. The first scene is a monkey beating the crap out of other with a bone and the Ninth Symphony as background music.<P>Maritza
