In the end, as Benson capably demonstrates, both those sources faded into the background. With 2001, over the course of seven years of hard work, he aimed to put his mark on science fiction, with his own unmistakable twist: “Kubrick’s method was to find an existing novel or source concept and adapt it for the screen, always stamping it with his own bleak-but not necessarily despairing-assessment of the human condition.” He found his sources in two places: the work of British science-fiction writer and technologist Arthur C.
He reinvented film noir, the costume drama, the horror film, and the war movie. Stanley Kubrick (1928-1999), writes Benson ( Cosmigraphics: Picturing Space Through Time, 2014, etc.), was a slayer of genres. A fascinating, detail-rich account of the long slog to make the science-fiction masterpiece 2001: A Space Odyssey.
