Daughter Of Stanley Kubrick Tells Never Before Heard Secrets And Exposes How To Save Humanity
2001: A Space Odyssey Premiere Backlash, Rock Hudson, and Critical Failure
Vivian Kubrick recounts the disastrous initial reception of 2001: A Space Odyssey, where nearly two-thirds of the premiere audience walked out. She specifically remembers actor Rock Hudson storming out and calling the film "blasphemous" due to its depiction of human evolution from apes. Despite the initial devastation felt by her father and the panic from MGM studio heads, the film eventually found its audience through word-of-mouth and long lines at public screenings.
