LOS ANGELES TIMES, July 17, 1977 (an original vintage newspaper leaf from the Calendar section)  This offering consists of four complete pages (two double-sided sheets on one single leaf), serving as a rare piece of cinematic ephemera, highlighted by an original vintage print advertisement announcing the re-release premiere of  "2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY" by Stanley Kubrick on one of the pages. (see images).

In addition to the featured movie ad, which captures the era's distinct theatrical promotional graphics and classic key art, the surrounding pages provide a fascinating snapshot of late 20th-century entertainment and pop culture. Printed on authentic newsprint with genuine vintage toning, this original leaf is not a modern reprint, making it an ideal piece for custom framing, film history display, or inclusion in a dedicated cinema memorabilia collection.

Background: The July 1977 theatrical re-release of 2001: A Space Odyssey stands out for both its calculated visual content and its relative scarcity in the vintage poster market. MGM specifically targeted a newly minted generation of science-fiction fans by showcasing the film's groundbreaking, highly realistic special effects—such as Robert McCall's stunning imagery of the orbital Space Station V, the Moonbus, and the Discovery One—to position the 1968 classic as the ultimate visual counterpart to Star Wars. Distributed strictly in high-format 70mm Super Panavision prints across select cities, the theatrical run was significantly smaller and shorter than its initial multi-year 1968 roadshow release.
