Synopsis:

An imposing black structure provides a connection between the past and the future. When Dr. Dave Bowman (Keir Dullea) and other astronauts are sent on a mysterious mission, their ship's computer system, HAL 9000 (Douglas Rain), begins to display increasingly strange behavior, leading up to a tense showdown between man and machine that results in a mind-bending trek through space and time. Now rescored with music from Christopher Nolan's Interstellar by Hans Zimmer. 

Background:

The idea of rescoring 2001: A Space Odyssey with Hans Zimmer's score from Interstellar isn't a new idea as this concept has been attempted before although in shorter forms. There are many videos on YouTube that dabbled into this concept and u/Tykjen's fan edit of Space Odyssey. However, I don't think there has been one that rescores the entire film from beginning to end with minimal removal of scenes. With that, I decided to set forth and make this edit a reality. If this concept of rescoring the whole film with Hans Zimmer's music has been done before, consider this as my personal take on the idea.

Goals:

Rescore as much of the film I can with Hans Zimmer's score from Interstellar while using several sources (like u/Tykjen's 2001 fan edit and this YouTube playlist I made) as basis/inspiration. This also goes with trying to keep in as much of the film's contents I can while cutting down certain shots to match it with the music.

Change List:

• Replaced Ligeti's Atmosphères with the first half of "Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night". This intro has also been cut down to fit with the music.

• Added Starlight Fan Edits Logo.

• Replaced Strauss' Also Sprach Zarathustra with "Dreaming of the Crash" by Hans Zimmer for the opening. The opening has been sped up to align with the music.

• Replaced Ligeti's Requiem with "Day One Dark" by Hans Zimmer during the first Monolith scene.

• Replaced Strauss' Also Sprach Zarathustra with "Cornfield Chase" by Hans Zimmer during the bone scene.

• Replaced Strauss II's Blue Danube with "Murph" and "Entering Enterprise" (from the Expanded Sessions) by Hans Zimmer during the first space scene. The ending of "The Wormhole" is used at the end of the sequence.

• Added "S.T.A.Y." by Hans Zimmer during the scene of Heywood Floyd's conversation with his daughter.

• Replaced Strauss II's Blue Danube with "Dust" by Hans Zimmer during the moon travel scene. The sequence has been cut down to fit with the music.

• Replaced Ligeti's Lux Aeterna with "Running Out" during the Mooncraft scenes. Sequence of shots are directly based from u/Tykjen's edit.

• Replaced Ligeti's Requiem with "The Wormhole" by Hans Zimmer during the second monolith scene . The sequence of shots and editing in this scene are directly based from u/Tykjen's edit.

• Replaced Khachaturian's Gayane Adagio with "Message from Home" by Hans Zimmer. Certain shots of the Discovery have been cut down to align with the music.

• Replaced Khachaturian's Gayane Adagio with "Years of Messages" by Hans Zimmer during the scene of Frank communicating with his Parents. AI Vocal  Remover and Isolation has been used to remove the music.

• Added "Murph" and "Entering Enterprise" (from the Expanded Sessions) by Hans Zimmer during the Discovery space scene. Some shots have been cut down to fit it with the music.

• Replaced Ligeti's Atmosphères with the second half of "Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night" during the Intermission (which is shorten).

• Added "A Place Among the Stars" by Hans Zimmer" during the famous pod bay doors scene. Directly based from u/Tykjen's edit.

• Added "Imperfect Lock" by Hans Zimmer during the scene of Dave heading back to the Discovery. This is inspired from this YouTube video I found on r/fanedits.

• Replaced Ligeti's Requiem and Atmosphères with "Tick-Tock" and "Day One Dark" by Hans Zimmer during the Stargate sequence. Some shots have been trimmed to fit it in with the music.
