Cool Alternative Art Poster For 2001: A Space Odyssey

2001 A Space Odyssey Poster
Check out this retro alternative art poster for Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space odyssey. It comes from Philippines based artist Dianne Aguas and I just love the design. It looks like one of the computer consoles from the movie, with some of the computer screens and an image of the monolith.

It’s easy to believe that this could be seen displayed in theaters in the 1960s. Sadly, it appears that this poster is not available to purchase, which is a good thing because I don’t have enough room for all of the cool stuff that I want.

An Art Show Tribute to Stanley Kubrick

Even though Stanley Kubrick did not exclusively make Sci-Fi films, he did as much as anyone for the genre. More than most in fact. 2001: A Space Odyssey is a masterpiece. So it is no wonder that he is being celebrated at San Francisco’s Spoke Art Gallery.

Check out some of the art that celebrates the great director’s work below. The man continues to inspire all of these years later. These images are amazing. If you are in the area, check out the show and be blown away.

2001: A Space Odyssey Trailer With Rare Test Footage

A rare trailer for Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey has surfaced online. The trailer was released about a year before the film opened in 1968. That’s why it has a bunch of concept art and test footage. None of the finished scenes were ready at the time. As you can see that didn’t stop them from promoting the movie so they could get people excited about it.
