Hi all,

I ran across the following on thedigitalbits.com:

Over on the Space: 1999 fan site Eagle Transporter.com, there's a posted
report on an event from September with Douglas Trumbull, in which he
confirmed that the behind-the-scenes documentary on the making of 2001:
A Space Odyssey is no longer happening. That we already knew. The more
interesting thing however, is that Trumbull indicated that some 17
minutes worth of footage was cut from the film before its theatrical
release by director Stanley Kubrick, and that Warner has discovered that
footage in their film vaults. Hopefully, at least THAT much will find
its way onto Warner's new Blu-ray release, due sometime next year.

Now, why is this important?  It's my understanding that Ed Bishop
had some speaking parts in the original cut of 2001, and these scenes
were cut prior to the final release.  So if this new footage gets
released on video, maybe we'll see a "new" Ed Bishop performance!
