Stanley Kubrick originally tried to set
2001 at Saturn, as in the novel, rather than at Jupiter, which the technology of the time required, if real images of the planet were to be used.
NASA's Cassini-Huygens has since taken the best images of Saturn in history!
See how NASA's images and Kubrick's visions were brought together for In Saturn's Rings, to such an extent that Christiane Kubrick requested her own personal copy, and called it "an honor for Stanley to be mentioned... in such a carefully-made film."
Director Stephen Van Vuuren takes you into the making of this ground-breaking film for IMAX theaters, the special technology made for it, and the techniques it took to bring Saturn to life using only shots of the real planet, with no CGI. Also on hand will be:
- Jason Harwell, Co-Producer and Lead Hubble/ESO Image Processor
- Val Klavans, Co-Producer
- Bill Eberly, Lead SDSS image processor
- Bryan Simpson, President & Hubble/ESO image processor, Cincinnati Astronomical Society
See Saturn -- the REAL Saturn, brought to life for the giant screen, as only a Kubrick family-recognized master can do.
