1.
Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)?

to be affected, and he thought her to be impossibly stuffy and prim, both soon became friends and the cast worked together smoothly.
b.

Veronica Lake
and
Alan Ladd
reprising their film roles.
c.
In the sequence in which Bowman recovers Pooles body with the pod, the camera was running at four times normal speed so that the resulting footage would be in slow-motion, giving a slow, "drifting in space" look. That means the soft contact of the pods arms with Pooles body was actually rather rough, and as a result, the stunt man doubling for Poole was badly bruised by the end of the takes.
d.
Filmed in 12 days.
2.
Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)?
a.
Although its commonly believed that the famous "jump cut" is from the bone being tossed in the air to a ship floating in space, it is in fact not a spaceship, its a nuclear device circling the earth. So the bone being used as the "first" murder weapon is thrown to the "ultimate" weapon. Originally the "star child" was to detonate this device and all the other devices that were circling the earth.
Stanley Kubrick
decided against the ending as it was too similar to the end of his previous film
Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb
, where nuclear bombs are exploded.
b.
The statement "Ill say" is used three times in the movie, each time by a different person.

Jack Thompson

3.
Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)?
a.
Smith originally planned to have the first "prisoner" executed with a goats head on top of his own. The special effects director told him that he might be thinking of a rams head, because a goat is actually very small. Smith found out shortly thereafter that the rams head would cost $5,000 - his entire budget - and scrapped the entire idea. He came up with the plastic wrap and top-down shot because he thought it would contain the most "blood" and therefore not require much cleanup between takes.
b.
In the script, the character of Paul the bartender (played by
Paul Calderon
) is referred to as "English Bob" (Jules even refers to English Bob, saying "Yeah, Winston Wolf is about as European as fucking English Bob"), but his line "My names Paul, and this is between yall" apparently stuck, as he is credited as Paul in the credits.
c.
Just like in
Arthur C. Clarke
s short story The Sentinel, the finding of the monolith on the moon would initially be the films climax. This eventually became the kick-off for the movies second half. But even during production, the ending of the movie was still under constant revision.
Stanley Kubrick
initially planned to show extra-terrestrials, but found out that the productions budget was quickly running out. He finally decided that it would be better to not physically show the aliens at all, stating that "you dont show God".
d.
Every wand seen in any film in the franchise was created on-site. Taking the lead from descriptions in the books, each wand was 13-15 inches long and created specifically for each character. No two wands were alike.
4.
Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)?

b.
Mal is seen applauding Rose from the wings during her singing of Stay With Me Baby, though it wasnt in the script. David Keith simply spontaneously applauded Bette Midlers heart-wrenching performance. Director Mark Rydell felt it was a good touch and decided to include the scene.
c.
The blue Manolo Blahnik pumps that Carrie leaves in the penthouse in "Sex and the City," and that Big uses as the "diamond to seal the deal," can be seen over her left shoulder when shes in her closet packing for Abu Dhabi.
d.
The boat on which Vianne and Roux have their love scene was built on a stage and then physically rocked to mimic the water. When the outside of the boat is shown after they kiss, the shadowy figures were added digitally.
5.
Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)?
a.
Filmed in only 24 days.
b.
One of Kubricks additions to the screenplay which

did not like was HALs ability to read the astronauts lips when they are inside the pod. Years later, he admitted that Kubrick had been right all along, after learning that at the time, computers were being developed with the ability to read lips.
c.
Has over 40 speaking roles and over 30 locations, including Times Square.
