Both posters are part of Bottleneck Gallery’s upcoming exhibit “When the Lights Go Out.” Gotta say, “glow-in-the-dark art” and “impressive” never really went together in my head… but clearly that was my bad. Mark Englert‘s Game of Thrones poster “The Battle at Blackwater” has shown me the (neon green) light. And Chris Thornley‘s 2001: A Space Odyssey poster, behind the cut, just convinced me further.

Siri can say some pretty outrageous things (and sometimes it’s what she doesn’t say that’s outrageous), but the most recent discovery of the jokes that programmers have nested deep within her data sources comes from asking her to summarize movies for you. Turns out, she sees a lot of films a bit differently than we do.

What would the trailer for Stanley Kubrick’s influential science fiction film 2001: A Space Odyssey look like if it were released today? Well, probably a lot like the one above, recut by the folks at Film School Rejects. Let’s be honest, it’s probably unlikely that a super intelligent, groundbreaking film like 2001 wouldn’t attract today’s moviegoers without some dramatic trailer sequences. All this trailer needs to be truly modern is a few Michael Bay-ish explosions, a few scenes that aren’t actually included in the final cut of the film, and the key plot-spoiling element of the movie.

I’ll say right now that I would totally watch a badly cut together remake of Avatar that uses color-shifted clips from Star Trek, West Side Story, and The Longest Day, and laugh and laugh. This poster, like those that come after it, cut right to the heart of a cinematic time period and the taste of Hollywood at the time, to point out that if this story had shown up in that era, William Shatner would totally have gotten his way into a blue girl’s pants, and no better blue girl than the one who Hollywood already considered to be an virginal all-American sweetheart capable of passing for an ethnicity she clearly was not.
Venture on with us, into movies that never happened… except in the other leg of the Trousers of Time.
