2001: A Space Odyssey Spacesuit
Directed and written by the legendary Stanley Kubrick, 2001: A Space Odyssey was one of the most important films ever made. This auction gives you a chance to own a piece of the iconic film in the form of this nearly complete spacesuit used during filming. The suit combines components worn by different actors throughout the movie and includes a helmet with four distinct layers, a silver bodysuit, blue backpack, and a white helmet. In fact, it's assumed that Keir Dullea's Dr. Dave Bowman was wearing this helmet in the memorable scene where he enters the "brain room" to terminate HAL. A vintage wood base and shipping crate addressed to MGM Inc. are also included in the auction, which will be on the auction block starting on July 17.
