recreated
Discovery in
"2010: The Year We Make Contact" (1984) from
2001: A Space Odyssey.
SonicRanger points out though that not all of the ship's sets were recreated such as the crew's living quarters.
Yeah, I always wondered what the Carrousel (the
Discovery's rotating section) would have looked like in
2010. I was rather disappointed to learn that Stanley Kubrick had all the sets destroyed after
2001's filming wrapped. That was just too cool a set to let go to waste...
Although the re-creation of the sets that *did* occur, wasn't entirely accurate; in the original film, all of the video displays aboard the
Discovery were projected film animations, whereas in
2010 they're CRTs. And the velcro bits in the floor of the
Discovery sets - where the crew would walk using their velcro shoes, to get around the zero-G problem - were apparently abandoned in
2010. (Apart from one odd sequence aboard the
Leonov, zero-G was treated as
non-existent in
2010.)
SonicRanger, if you're listening: The cockpit section of the
Discovery wasn't new to
2010. It appeared in the original film as well. One of the crewmembers would be sitting there while the other one did a spacewalk. CRT problem notwithstanding, Peter Hyams' people did a pretty good job recreating that set for
2010.
