2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY

Large Herald (13" x 11" Folded, 13" x 22" Unfolded)
Near Mint Folded; Artwork by Robert McCall
MGM, 1968

This rare large-format four-page herald was issued for the film's original theatrical release and depicts Space Station One on the front cover. It opens to reveal two more images from the film with descriptive text and the back cover features a final image along with a caption box noting that the film is in Cinerama, Super Panavision and Metrocolor. It is in outstanding unused condition and will make a valuable addition to any collection.

Stanley Kubrick's sublime sci-fi masterpiece elevated the genre from a B-movie staple previously typified by flying saucers and monsters. Dealing with deep philosophical concepts (not least the impact of artificial intelligence on human evolution) and changing the game for visual effects (under the supervision of FX master Douglas Trumbull), it remains an unforgettable cinematic experience.
