Brad-bound souvenir script for the 1968 science fiction film 2001: A Space Odyssey, 232 pages, 8.5 x 11, signed on the title sheet in various ink types by Keir Dullea, Gary Lockwood, Douglas Trumbull (special photographic effects supervisor), Daniel Richter (the 'Moonwatcher'), Maggie d'Abo, Anya Kubrick, and Jim Dickson (technical animation specialist). In fine condition. Consignor notes that all of the signatures were obtained at a 40th anniversary screening of the film, "2001 in 2008: A Cinematic Odyssey," held at the Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills on May 21, 2008; the event handbill is included and is signed in blue felt tip by Richter, who adds "Moonwatcher." Douglas Trumbull's signature is especially significant, as he was responsible for the groundbreaking special photographic effects of not only 2001: A Space Odyssey, but also for landmark sci-fi films Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Star Trek: The Motion Picture, and Blade Runner. The presence of the autograph of Stanley Kubrick's daughter Anya further elevates this piece; she attended the 40th anniversary screening to represent her father, and sadly passed away a year later.
