Kubrick asked his production team to mock up 36 headlines for a prospective future edition of The New York Times. The finished film did feature “news pads” on which astronauts could watch videos and read electronic versions of periodicals. But even less likely rivals drew his concern. Kubrick continually worried that 2001 might be superseded by a competitor, notably the original Planet of the Apes, which was in production at the same time.
