This magnificent tome is a previously unseen look behind-the-scenes at the making of this most legendary of science fiction classics. Art director Harry Lange's strikingly realistic designs for Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey created an extraordinary vision of the future and they remain the epitome of filmmaking. The book is about the process, as well as the finished product. It tells the story of the relationship between the design team and Stanley Kubrick, recognising their input in what is often considered to be just the director's work.
