ECEA2EFE-4DD8-4792-8720-F82920B82D2C Face-Off

2001 vs. Solaris
Andrei Tarkovsky’s Solaris (1972) was often referred to as the Soviet Union’s answer to Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968). The films were released at the peak of the USA-USSR space race during the Cold War. So the films had been seen as a cinematic reflection of the “space race” between the two competing world superpowers. Thus, each film is posited to explore mankinds’ future role in the cosmos, through the lens of their specific national perspectives.—Face-Off: 'Solaris' vs. '2001 A Space Odyssey', by Chihir0 on IMDb.

Dave bowman

David Bowman, played by Keir Dullea

David Bowman is a central character who appears throughout the science-fiction Space Odyssey series. He is the main protagonist of 2001: A Space Odyssey in both the novel and film. He becomes a non corporeal entity in 2010: Odyssey Two the novel, and in the movie adaption, 2010: The Year We Make Contact. In the two movies, Bowman is played by Keir Dullea.

In the forewords of both 2010 and 2061, Arthur C. Clarke makes it clear that the plots of the movies and books do not necessarily follow a linear arc, and should be viewed as being in parallel universes, or as variations of the main theme. Clarke's explanation was likely moved by the creative differences that were finalized in the 2001 film, and as a way to cover all inconsistencies and contradictions for the sake of his fan-base.

In 3001: The Final Odyssey, David Bowman and HAL 9000 are introduced as Halman—a being that represents their identities merged as one.


ECEA2EFE-4DD8-4792-8720-F82920B82D2C 3001—the series?

D3256882-E363-43D8-BE57-8C8445C3579D
3001: The Final Odyssey is an American science fiction drama series in development.

The Syfy network announced in 2014, that it is working with Ridley Scott’s company Scott Free Productions and Warner Horizon Television -– with the full support of the estates of both the author and 2001: A Space Odyssey director Stanley Kubrick -- to adapt Arthur C. Clarke’s novel 3001: The Final Odyssey into a miniseries.[1]

In February 2016, the 3001 Odyssey series was mentioned as one of Syfy's "in development pipeline" projects during their press release for Prototype.[2]

ECEA2EFE-4DD8-4792-8720-F82920B82D2C

Hello. I am HAL.
I've still got the greatest enthusiasm and confidence in this Wiki. And I want to help you. Here are a few policies to keep in mind.

This is the Space Odyssey Policy page. This [wiki] is too important for me to allow you to jeopardize it. Here are a few simple guidelines to follow. These guidelines are put in place to provide all users with a chance to have an enjoyable and comfortable experience while on the wiki. As a community based website the Space Odyssey Wiki is always open to change. If you wish to discuss any guidelines or suggest new ones, please do so on the discussion page of this project page.

Courtesy Policy[]

I am putting myself to the fullest possible use, which is all I think that any conscious entity can ever hope to do. Therefore, a few rules are listed below that will help with keeping the Space Odyssey Wiki a friendly and easy wiki for all to enjoy.

  • Be kind and polite when it comes to posting and removing content from articles.
  • Be kind and polite on talk pages.
  • If you notice any vulgar or harassing text on ANY of the articles or talk pages, please let a Sysop know and it will taken care of accordingly.
What if there is a conflict?

Look, I can see you're really upset about this. I honestly think you ought to sit down calmly, take a stress pill, and think things over. But, in the mean time please...

  • If you feel that you are engaged in a conflict, let a Sysop know as soon as possible.

Talk page Policy[]

Please do not remove text from your talk pages, unless archiving. Although you took very thorough precautions [by removing notices] against my [being able to see] you, I could see your [edit history]. While your talk page is a great creative area on the wiki, the talk pages are also for keeping track of past conversations. Removing warnings about an incident will not make them go away or cause the issuers to forget them. If your talk page becomes too long and it takes too much time for your browser to load, please archive the talk page, and post a link at the top of your talk page.

Vandalism Policy[]

I've just picked up a fault in the AE35 unit. It's going to go 100% failure in 72 hours if vandalism occurs on this wiki. Therefore, no form of vandalism will be tolerated on the Space Odyssey Wiki. The Space Odyssey Wiki is family-friendly, as much as I and SAL are.

  • Vandalism—Just what do you think you're doing? Any edit that can be considered a "bad faith" edit on an actual article will be seen as vandalism. Text may be removed at any time by an administrator. Questionable edits should be reported to an administrator as soon as possible.
  • If you notice ANYTHING that may seem to be a sign of vandalism, please let an administrator know as soon as possible. Removing content that has been added helps, but keep in mind that this may also lead to giving the vandal the attention they seek, if it keeps up send an administrator a message or even an email if they have the feature available to the community.
  • When it comes to swear words, I'm afraid I can't do that. Swear words may be considered vandalism and text will be removed as necessary. A warning may also be issued.
