Talk:David Bowman

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The following was removed:
The story for the movie and book were both jointly written by Clarke and Kubrick. They agreed that the movie would be presented as by Kurbick, and that the book would be presented as by Clarke. For an elaboration of their collaborative work on this project, see "The Lost Worlds of 2001", Arthur C. Clarke, Signet, 1972. ... The book "2010" was made into a movie.

This is an article about David Bowman, not about the book or movie. (although, this might be a great addition for that article) maveric149

The name of the sequal to the movie 2001, is "2010 The Year We Make Contact". The name of the book 2010 was "2010 Odyssey Two" (At least those are the titles on my respective 2010 DVD and 2010 Book -- Please respond if the movie was origionaly released as "Odyssey Two"). maveric149


I really like the addition of the etymological significance of David Bowman's name maveric149 (origional author of article)

Thanks for the compliment Aleksandar Guzijan

From David Bowman/ToDo

1) Rewrite of 2001 paragraph to improve flow and readability. 2) Create paragraph on 2010 3) Get information on Bowman's role in 2061 & 3001


--Vision4bg 01:37, 9 November 2005 (UTC) Unless you've got something to back up the etymology you can't state your opinion as factual. I've made some minor rewordings to reflect that.


I just added a picture of David Bowman at the end of 2001. Gunmetal2k4

[edit] Another Dave/David Bowman?

Wasn't there an American jazz pianist called Dave Bowman? (I can't imagine Arthur C. Clarke making that particular connexion, though.)

[edit] Bowie/Bowman

This article claims that David Bowie took this character's name into account when choosing his stage name. However, David Bowie's first solo album was released in 1967. Both the novel and the film "2001: A Space Odyssey" were released in 1968. Does anyone have any information supporting this? If not, I think it should be changed.
