Peter Hyams, the writer, producer and director of the film version of 2010
announced when given the project by MGM/UA that the tone of the film would
not be anything like 2001, i.e. ponderous, enigmatic, even stately.  Which
is a fundamental difference between how the two books read, as well.  Don't
expect the same sort of film-going experience that 2001 provided.  But if
they did their homework, and used some well-bridled imagination, it could
be a bang-up entertainment!  One thing for sure, the special effects are
being done by the best in the business, Doug Trumbull's Entertainment 
Effects Group, under the tutelage of triple Oscar-winner Richard Edlund("Alien",
"The Empire Strikes Back", "Return of the Jedi").

The cast of 2010:
Roy Scheider, John Lithgow, Bob Balaban, Keir Dullea, Helen Mirren, Douglas 
Rain, Savely Kramarov, Elya Baskin, Oleg Rudnik, Natasha Shneider, Vladimir 
Skomarowsky, Victor Steinbach.
