2010: A Space Odyssey question
I was just wondering with 2010 just around the corner, is there any plans for a re-release of this sequel to "2001: A Space Odyssey"?

What do you mean with "2010 around the corner" is there a new movie coming out or are you talking about the 1984 movie?

well Sir Arthur C. Clarke did write two sequels to 2001 and 2010 but considering that 2010: the Year We Make Contact movie did not do well at the box office, I doubt if either one of those will ever be filmed.

I haven't heard anything, maybe in 2009 for the 25th year anniversary?
The copy of "2010" that WB put out on DVD back in 9/2000 is just crappy!!
The DVD is not anamorphic despite what the packaging say. It is 2:35 letterboxed and the mattes are still showing around the space ships and other objects in some of the scenes.
It could definitely stand a remastering into anamorphic with some major cleanup and restoration work.

First of all, it's "2010: The Year We Make Contact".
Second, I wouldn't hold my breath for a remastering/theatrical re-release of the sequel if I were you. "2010" has never been regarded as a groundbreaking, controversial or substantial cinematic work as Kubrick's "2001: A Space Odyssey" (not to say whether it's a right or wrong thing.) I personally find it rather dull when I watched it on DVD.
And even "2001" wasn't re-released theatrically worldwide in 2001.
Eventually Warner Bros may re-release the film with anamorphic picture. But I doubt it's on their priority list at the moment.

2001, a space odyssey
I don't know. I believe that the movie is better than the book, which I have also read in its Spanish tranlation.
Kubrick had a clearest idea of what he wants with the movie than Clarke with the book, I think. Moreover, there are things on the book that does not appear in the movie. A message is more clearly delivered in the movie than in the book.
If I remember correctly, the book had an introductory note that was signed by "A.C. and S.K.", is not it?
By the way, the book was translated in Spain by an UFO investigator, Antonio Ribera. He died some years ago.
I don't know about 2010: Odyssey two...
