Photo Still (8 X 10 Inches)
Original Front-of-House Card #9.
An original 1968 UK front-of-house card issued by MGM for 2001: A Space Odyssey, exclusively for use in Cinerama cinemas. This stunning full-colour lobby card (#9 in the original numbered set) features a vividly illustrated moon excavation scene—a perfect encapsulation of Kubrick’s visionary depiction of space exploration.
Cultural Significance of 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968):
When 2001 premiered in 1968, it didn’t just redefine science fiction—it redefined cinema itself:
• A philosophical epic: Kubrick and Arthur C. Clarke’s screenplay explored the evolution of intelligence, artificial consciousness, and humanity’s place in the universe—topics largely untouched in genre filmmaking at the time.
• Groundbreaking visual effects: From rotating spacecraft interiors to zero-gravity pen floats, the film’s effects remain legendary. Kubrick’s meticulous realism inspired NASA-era optimism and ushered in a new standard for sci-fi production.
• Cinerama exhibition: 2001 was one of the few films shown in Cinerama, an immersive widescreen format that enhanced its awe-inspiring visuals. These front-of-house cards were part of a special campaign for these showings.
• No hand-holding: Eschewing exposition and relying heavily on classical music, the film was initially divisive but ultimately revolutionary, influencing filmmakers from George Lucas to Christopher Nolan.
This is more than a collectible—it’s a memento from the birth of modern cinematic science fiction.
