TS Episode Page: 2001 Character Map

Stanley Kubrick and Arthur C. Clarke developed the screenplay in tandem to produce the beloved film (and novel!) in 1968, which explores the past, present and potential future of human existence. Humanity, as we deduce in our conversation, is the main “character” of the film. In a story so purposefully structured, with a cast of actors that come and go throughout, the characters themselves contribute to the larger collective story of humanity.

Rob Kuentzel, is a “2001 is my favorite movie” kind of guy. So naturally, we sat down with Rob to discuss how Clarke & Kubrick teamed up to craft a masterful story.
