[QUOTE]Originally posted by kmart: [QB] The deal with 2001 and sequels is weird to me, because with all the discarded treatments for the original (some of this is collected in a book called LOST WORLDS OF 2001), you've got the makings of a helluva whole other movie or limited series in a 2001-like universe. I talked with a writer named Pete Briggs about this a few years ago, cuz I figured Tom Hanks, being the 2001 and space fan he is, might be interested in doing HOW THE SOLAR SYSTEM WAS WON (working joke title for 2001) or FROM THE EARTH TO BEYOND THE STARS or something, a kind of HBO does the 21st century version of FROM THE EARTH TO THE MOON -- a kind of documentary of the future, but using the unused storylines purchased by Kubrick from Clarke for 2001 and the abortive storylines developed by Clarke in concert with Kubrick. You could build through a series of man in the solar system stories to the payoff being the discovery of an extraterrestrial obelisk ... sort of like a precursor to 2001 in a way, though obviously in an adjusted timeframe, since we're WAY behind schedule! For 2010, I kinda think Hyams should have made it even more different than he did, since 'science' isn't Hyams' thing ... machine guns on the ships and the americans and russians teaming up to smoke out the Chinese mission ... instead, by trying to please Clarke and being (rightfully) in awe of the first film, Hyams kinda just wriggled around like a fish out of water (plus he pissed on the lighting scheme with all that smoke he loves so much.)
