The Making of MagicHow Stanley Kubrick's "2OO1: A Space Odyssey" revolutionized science fiction and the art of cinemavia Taschen
In March 1964, Stanley Kubrick decided that his next project would be to make “the proverbial good science-fiction movie.”Fifty years after the film’s conception, TASCHEN looks back at the process of making the most important science-fiction film of all time. Though
2001 has arguably spawned more critical texts and scholarly analyses than any other film, this publication marks the first time that a truly exhaustive book has been devoted to it. TASCHEN readers enjoyed a sampling of previously unseen
2001 material in
The Stanley Kubrick Archives; this four-volume set revisits the subject, exploring in great depth every aspect of the film and its making: the groundbreaking technical effects, the extraordinary set designs, and the fascinating collaboration between Kubrick and Arthur C. Clarke.
Made in exclusive collaboration with the Kubrick estate and Warner Bros., this copiously illustrated work features hundreds of unique
2001-related documents, concept artworks, and superb behind-the-scenes photographs from the Kubrick Archives—most of which have never been published before—as well as exclusive correspondence and personal testimony from Kubrick's co-screenwriter Arthur C. Clarke.
The Making of Stanley Kubrick’s "2001: A Space Odyssey" is a landmark book for film fans and a celebration of technical special-effects innovation before the digital age, conceived by the very designers of TASCHEN’s instant collectible
Stanley Kubrick’s Napoleon: The Greatest Movie Never Made.
