People might be interested to know that there is a book by Arthur C. Clarke entitled The Lost Worlds of 2001 in which he goes through the different storylines he considered while writing the screenplay – it provides an even greater insight into both film and novel.
Trivia: A university lecturer of mine told me that when he first started, he had to interview a first year undergraduate who had failed miserably, but wanted another go. It appears the guy had a blown vast sum of money on wine, women and drugs. Where did he get the cash? Well, he was lying on a beach and was asked by a casting director if he wanted to be in a film. Sure – what did it involve?
He was one of the apes. |
