![]() ![]() In Clarke's book, HAL's age was four (12 January 1997), while in the movie it was nine (12 January 1992). But Clarke insisted that even a computer that age would be too old to be used for such an important mission. Kubrick wanted HAL to be about the age of a child, so his death would have more emotional impact. Clarke and Stanley Kubrick disagreed on what HAL's birthday should be. It was later joked that "2001" lost the Best Makeup Academy Award to John Chambers for Планета Мавп (1968) because the judges didn't realize the "2001" australopithecines were really humans, but there was no nomination list at all, as the award was not created until 1981-Chambers' award was merely honorary. Early viewers of the movie wondered where Kubrick obtained such well-trained monkeys. Daniel Richter, who plays the australopithecine Moon-Watcher, choreographed most of these scenes. Freeborn and his wife Kay Freeborn used comic actor Ronnie Corbett as a make-up model, but he did not appear in the final film. With the exception of two baby chimpanzees, all were played by humans in costume. It's going to go 100% failure within 72 hours.Originally, Stanley Kubrick had Stuart Freeborn create a primitive but more human-like make-up for the actors playing the australopithecines, but he couldn't find a way to photograph them in full length without getting an X-rating from the MPAA, since they had to be naked. I've just picked up a fault in the AE-35 unit. You're working up your crew psychology report? Hunter, Kimball and Kaminsky aboard already in hibernation, after four months of training on their own. And the melodramatic touch of putting Drs. For instance, the way all our preparations were kept under such tight security. I never gave these stories much credence, but particularly in view of some of other things that have happened, I find them difficult to put out of my mind. Rumors about something being dug up on the Moon. Well, certainly no one could have been unaware of the very strange stories floating around before we left. You don't mind talking about it, do you Dave? Well, I don't know, that's a rather difficult question to answer. I'm sure you agree there's some truth in what I say. Perhaps I'm just projecting my own concern about it.I know I've never completely freed myself from the suspicion that there are some extremely odd things about this mission. Well, forgive me for being so inquisitive but during the past few weeks I've wondered whether you might have some second thoughts about the mission. ![]() Goodbye.īy the way, do you mind if I ask you a personal question? HAL, I won't argue with you anymore! Open the doors!ĭave, this conversation can serve no purpose anymore. Without your space helmet, Dave? You're going to find that rather difficult. I'll go in through the emergency airlock. Where the hell did you get that idea, HAL?ĭave, although you took very thorough precautions in the pod against my hearing you, I could see your lips move.Īlright, HAL. I know that you and Frank were planning to disconnect me, and I'm afraid that's something I cannot allow to happen. I don't know what you're talking about, HAL. This mission is too important for me to allow you to jeopardize it. I think you know what the problem is just as well as I do. Do you read me? Do you read me HAL? Do you read me HAL? Hello, HAL, do you read me? Hello, HAL, do your read me? Do you read me, HAL?
