Author Topic: 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY (request) Frank Angel Film God Posts: 5305 From: Brooklyn NY USA Registered: Dec 1999 posted 10-03-2003 08:18 PM                        I'm running this in November, This was re-released in 70mm last year, but does anyone know if new 35mm prints were also struck? And if so, do you know what digital format was used? If no 35mm prints were struck, I guess I will be getting one of the older reprints with Dolby SR that Turner struck in the mid-80s. If anyone ran this last year in 35mm, please give a shout.

Now this was through Swank so the information was only as good as the source. I didn't go any further on this title as there were other oldies we were after as well. Let me know what you find out.  |  IP: Logged Paul H. Rayton Expert Film Handler Posts: 210 From: Los Angeles, CA , USA Registered: Aug 2003 posted 10-14-2003 08:36 PM                    Hi, Frank: When we ran a one-week engagement of "2001" at the tail end of 2001, it was a 70mm print. However, we did have a nice NEW 35mm print as a back-up. The print had SR.D for sure, and possibly other sound formats, but I didn't make any definitive notes on that, nor even the print number. However, I'd suggest contacting Warner Brothers Classics, here in L.A. (well, technically they are in Burbank, I guess) for information on prints from them. They were our source back then, and I suppose they must have some distribution rights, too...unless everything has been turned over to Swank...  |  IP: Logged Frank Angel Film God Posts: 5305 From: Brooklyn NY USA Registered: Dec 1999 posted 10-21-2003 03:01 AM                        Thanks. Yes, there were some 35mm prints (run as backups) struck along with the two 70mm prints. Because this is a special screening that will not have paid admission, Warners Classics (Burbank office) wants us to go thru Swank, and Swank has to go back to Warners to get the print -- dumbest arrangement ever. As of this post, Warners has not gotten back to Swank with a definitive yes to the booking. When I told the girl at Swank that Keir Dullea was going to be at the screening, she didn't know who he was. NEVER DO NON-THEATRICAL BOOKINGS!  |  IP: Logged System Notices Forum Watchdog / Soup Nazi Posts: 215 Registered: Apr 2004 posted 05-02-2008 02:10 AM                 It has been 1654 days since the last post.  |  IP: Logged Markus Lemm Expert Film Handler Posts: 113 From: Ottawa, Ontario, Canada Registered: Nov 2005 posted 05-02-2008 02:10 AM                        2001 : A Space Odyssey (2002) Scope 2.40 (Pillarboxed to 2.2) DTS / SDDS / SRD / SR (High Magenta) 10 Reels Intermission at end of reel #6 Music over black film at head of reel #1 & #7 and tail of film (Approx. 3 mins) 141 minutes  |  IP: Logged System Notices Forum Watchdog / Soup Nazi Posts: 215 Registered: Apr 2004 posted 05-08-2010 08:55 AM                 It has been 736 days since the last post.  |  IP: Logged Scott Norwood Film God Posts: 8146 From: Boston, MA. USA (1774.21 miles northeast of Dallas) Registered: Jun 99 posted 05-08-2010 08:55 AM                        Warner print #20082 is in beautiful condition and is as above. There are no DTS disks with it, but SRD and SDDS tracks are present, and the SR track is high-magenta. R1 has 3:00 of music before the cut to Leo. R6 ends with the intermission tag and fades out. R7 starts with 2:19 of music before the cut to the image. R8 ends with a fadeout R10 ends with the modern WB logo with web site address (!), which fades out and is followed with 4:17 of music. There is a modern MPAA ratings tag ("G") at the end of R10. Book this print! It looks great!  |  IP: Logged System Notices Forum Watchdog / Soup Nazi Posts: 215 Registered: Apr 2004 posted 11-28-2012 07:54 PM                 It has been 935 days since the last post.  |  IP: Logged Manny Knowles "What are these things and WHY are they BLUE???"

Will start a "chit-chat" thread in the Digital Forum -- so go there if you want to discuss -- or post here if you have handled this and just want to confirm/deny/add facts.  |  IP: Logged Manny Knowles "What are these things and WHY are they BLUE???" Posts: 4247 From: Bloomington, IN, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 11-29-2012 12:14 PM                     "2001" DCP is actually 2.20:1, Letterboxed inside 1.85. Part One starts with Overture on black screen, ends with "Intermission" card. Part Two starts with Entr'Acte music on black screen, ends with about 4 minutes of music after "The End" appears on-screen. Exact offsets coming soon.  |  IP: Logged Derek Young Film Handler Posts: 8 From: Stockwell London England Registered: Aug 2012 posted 12-04-2012 07:35 AM                  Funny it is in DCI 1.85 as Lawrence and West Side Story both were DCI 2.39, but an early version of WSS was DCI 1.85.  |  IP: Logged Manny Knowles "What are these things and WHY are they BLUE???"

USA (1774.21 miles northeast of Dallas) Registered: Jun 99 posted 02-17-2014 02:54 PM                        Warners also has a 2003 print (print number begins with 2003something, although I do not have the full number). Details are the same as above, except that it is in worse physical condition and the optical track for reels 1-6 is mis-printed such that dialogue plays primarily through the left channel. There is also a white vertical line printed between the track and the picture on the left side (between the picture and track) Reels 7-10 are fine. I do not know about the SRD track. It is also missing the "intermission" title before the intermission. You probably do not want this print.  |  IP: Logged
