According to Douglas Trumbull-special effects director for 2001: A Space Odyssey -Warner Bros has found seventeen minutes of edited footage from Stanley Kubrick’s sci-fi opus. The film-which was dropped from the overall cut-was found in their Kansas salt-mine vault.
According to Trumbull, the footage is in perfect condition, but he doesn’t know what Warner wants to do with it. These are the scenes that were neglected of the overall version, consistent with IMDB:
• Some shots from the ” Dawn of Man” sequence were removed and a new scene was inserted where an ape pauses with the bone it truly is about to take advantage of as a tool. The brand new scene was a low-angle shot of the monolith, done that will portray and clarify the connection between the fellow-ape using the tool and the monolith.
• Some shots of Frank Poole jogging inside the centrifuge were removed.
• A complete sequence of several shots wherein Dave Bowman searches for the replacement antenna part in storage was removed.
• A scene where HAL severs radio communication between the ” Discovery” and Poole’s pod before killing him was removed. This scene explains a line that stayed inside the film through which Bowman addresses HAL on the subject.
• Some shots of Poole’s space walk before he is killed were removed.
Those scenes account for 19 extra minutes, which have been included in 160-minute premiere. [ WorstPreviews via It's Packed with Stars ]
