(...) Hmm... Kubrick wasn't really known for toy merchandising of his films, though. But who knows? Maybe we'll get Dr. Strangelove and Eyes Wide Shut tie-ins, too! 8^) Dave! (24 years ago, 23-Oct-00, to lugnet.year.2001, lugnet.space)

(...) The film and cinematography owe at least as much to Kubrick's vision as to Clarke's, and it was by Kubrick's request that the original models and schematics used in the film were destroyed to prevent a cheap knock-off sequel.

(...) Quite. In _The Making of 2001_ by Clarke, he relates how the book and the movie were written essentially at the same time by both of them, with Kubrick focusing more on script and Clarke more on prose.

I think they meant to prevent a sequel with their models. And while the sequel was more or less not good and did come out, it doesn't look like it was created by the same team who did 2001. The designs in 2010 were done by Syd Mead and have a sort (...) (24 years ago, 24-Oct-00, to lugnet.year.2001, lugnet.space)

Think of all the bricks it would be... But not many space bricks, it would be more like a town setup.
