“Foolproof and incapable of error”: Photo of Kubrick Directing ‘2001′
May 20th, 2008 by Jeff Simmermon
I found this incredible image of Stanley Kubrick directing Keir Dullea and Gary Lockwood in ‘2001: A Space Odyssey’ while sifting through the Internet this morning. I wonder what they did with that set afterwards. It would be so awesome if they just rented that rotating drum out as a studio apartment, so that when you walked to the living room from the bedroom the apartment rotated, but you stayed still …

Frig, if that’s Kubrick on the right…looks like he’s defying gravity right there…

my understanding is that kubrick destroyed most of the set so that it wouldn’t be reused in lesser films, but that could be an urban legend.
he definitely used one of the deep-sleep chambers for a freezer in his house, though.
