New 70mm prints for the classic film were recently struck from pristine printing elements made from the original camera negative. A longtime admirer of the late American auteur, Christopher Nolan worked closely with the team at Warner Bros. Pictures throughout the mastering process.

Building on the work done for the new 70mm prints, the 4K & Blu-ray releases are mastered from the 65mm original camera negative. Includes both a remixed and restored 5.1 DTS master audio track, as well as the original 1968 6-track theatrical audio mix (formatted for 5.1 DTS master audio).

"2001 to me is the most cinematic film that has ever been made and it has been an honor and a privilege to be able to share the film with a new generation," said Nolan. "4K Blu-ray allows the closest recreation of viewing the original film print in your own home. Kubrick's masterpiece was originally presented on large format film and the deeper color palette and superior resolution comes closest to matching the original analogue presentation."

With 2001: A Space Odyssey, director Stanley Kubrick redefined the limits of filmmaking and cemented his legacy as one of the most revolutionary and influential film directors of all time. Originally released in 70mm Cinerama roadshow format on April 4, 1968, the film ignited the imaginations of critics and audiences alike and its impact continues to resonate to this day. The film was directed and produced by Kubrick and written by Kubrick and Arthur C. Clarke, inspired by Clarke's short story "The Sentinel." The film stars Keir Dullea and Gary Lockwood.
