First British edition of the novel of the landmark âproverbial good science fiction movieâ he and Stanley Kubrick created, starring Keir Dullea and Gary Lockwood. Octavo, original cloth. Boldly signed by Arthur C. Clarke in an elderly hand and lengthily signed by Keir Dullea on the title page, "Open the pod bay doors please Hal!!" Keir Dullea." Additionally signed by Dullea on the front panel of the jacket in silver felt tip. Keir Dulleaâs portrayal of astronaut Dave Bowman anchors Stanley Kubrickâs cosmic vision with a haunting stillness that becomes the emotional through-line of the film, giving Clarkeâs vision a human center, embodying both the fragility and resilience of humanity in the face of cosmic evolution. Dulleaâs daring commitment to his craft was exemplified by the harrowing emergency air-lock sceneâ"filmed with no stunt doubleâ"where he plunged headfirst through the hatch on a hidden harness, trusting so completely in Kubrickâs direction that he quipped later, âI would have been deadâ if anything had gone wrong. Near fine in a very good dust jacket. Rare and desirable signed. âKubrick wrote to me in the spring of 1964, asking if I had any ideas that would enable him to make the âproverbial good science fiction movie⦠I had already given Stanley a list of my shorter pieces, and we had decided that oneâ"âThe Sentinelââ"contained a basic idea on which we could build⦠Stanley suggested that before we embarked on the drudgery of the script, we let our imaginations soar freely by writing a complete novel, from which we could devise the script. This is more or less the way it worked out, though toward the end, novel and screenplay were being written simultaneously, with feedback in both directions. Thus, I rewrote some sections after seeing the movie rushesâ"a rather expensive method of literary creation, which few other authors have enjoyedâ (Clarke). With the success of both film and book, Clarke âbecame perhaps the best-known science fiction writer in the worldâ (Clute & Nicholls, 231). His novel (the first in an eventual tetraology) is âabout the two things Clarke seems to think we mortals would most like to know in a universe in which we can only hope that the odds are in favor of the raceâs survival: that we are not alone and that we have not lived in vainâ (John Hollow). Clarke wrote this novel while Stanley Kubrick created the film, the two collaborating on both projects. The novel is much more detailed and intimate, and definitely easier to comprehend. Even though history has disproved its "predictions," it's still loaded with exciting and awe-inspiring science fiction. -Brooks Peck Dazzling.wrenching.a mind-bender" (Time). "By standing the universe on its head, he makes us see the ordinary universe in a different light" (New Yorker). 2001: A Space Odyssey is widely regarded as one of the greatest and most influential films ever made. In 1991, it was deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" by the United States Library of Congress and selected for preservation in the National Film Registry. Sight & Sound magazine ranked 2001: A Space Odyssey sixth in the top ten films of all time in its 2002 and 2012 critics' polls editions; it also tied for second place in the magazine's 2012 directors' poll. In 2010, it was named the greatest film of all time by The Moving Arts Film Journal.
