Talk about this release on Slack
Stanley Kubrick’s dazzling, Academy Award -winning achievement is a compelling drama of man vs. machine, a stunning meld of music and motion. Kubrick (who co-wrote the screenplay with Arthur C. Clarke) first visits our prehistoric ape-ancestry past, then leaps millenia (via one of the most mind-blowing jump cuts ever) into colonized space, and untimately whisks astronaut Bowman (Keir Dullea) into uncharted space, perhaps even into immorality. “Open the pod bay doors, HAL.” Let an awesome journey unlike any other begin.
Features:
- Commentary by Keir Dullea and Gary Lockwood, Channel Four Documentary; 2001: The Making of a Myth
- 4 Insightful Featurettes; Standing on the shoulders of Kubrick: The Legacy of 2001
- Vision of a Future Passed: The Phophecy of 2001
- 2001: A Space Odyssey – A Look Behind the Future
- What Is Out There?
- 2001: FX and Early Conceptual Artwork
- Look: Stanley Kubrick! Audio-Only Bonus: 1966 Kubrick Interview Conducted by Jeremy Bernstein
- Theatrical Trailer
Can’t wait to see how much it is as the regular release is £35 on amazon.
Looking at Zavvi’s price, it seems this will be the same
Awesome, btw typo in page says released 4 August.
“Zavvi are first up with pre-orders, and they’re due to go live around 6pm on Tuesday 4th August, so ignore the ‘sold out’ button before then”
Read it again 🙂
Steelbook Blu Ray News that’s a month ago, its September so I presume due to go live tonight Tuesday 4 September?
Andy Davies oh well, didn’t i fuck up lol
Steelbook Blu Ray News Lay off the wine gums! lol
that’ll teach me not to drink before i use the time machine.
Steelbook blu Ray news, zavvi seems to be focused on overpriced 4k steelbooks, re issues, is this going to be the norm from now on
The releases are up to the studios, not the retailers.
As for prices that depends on how much the studio charge the retailers. Zavvi’s price for the steelbook is the same as Amazon’s price for the non-steelbook 4K
Either way, this isn’t an exclusive, so it’ll be worth seeing what the others charge once they list it
Steelbook Blu Ray News thank you for your reply, do you think zavvi will release any steelbooks such as Splash, spaceballs, fluke, gotcha, I love my 80s films, my all time favourite being Howard The Duck.. ?
I do know they they’re in constant discussion with studios about releases that they would like to see, and they do pass on feedback from collectors, but ultimately the decision is with the studio.
They may decide that sales won’t be high enough to do a release, or hold back till a movie’s anniversary.
Takes the piss. £35 is ridiculous.
Pre ordered this straight away even though I think its overpriced, should be £29.99 max. Will see what HMV sells it at and cancel if I need to but this will sellout fast everywhere I’m guessing.
Thought it was brilliant first time I saw it, but tried to watch again a few years later and…..bloody hell it’s so boring!
Leigh Venus one steelbook won’t hurt…
YESSSSSSS
Is it just me or did the item already sell out?because the sold out button is still up
Yeah Zavvi are sold out now.
Well that was fast
