FX legend Douglas Trumbull appearing at Lightbox for two nights
Douglas Trumbull, legendary special effects supervisor for science fiction classics 2001: A Space Odyssey and Blade Runner is appearing at the TIFF Bell Lightbox December 8th and 9th giving back to back presentations on the effects of the two films, starting with 2001 tonight. Trumball, more than possibly any other special effects artist in film, has defined the spectrum of the future. From the clinical crispness of 2001 to the advertising splattered dystopia of Blade Runner, almost every film since has operated somewhere within those ranges. Chances are, if you search for ‘best science fiction film of all time’, it’ll be either of these two films that top the list.
While there will be no screening of 2001 after the presentation, the following day kicks off a month of screenings a 70mm print of the Kubrick classic. After Trumball’s Thursday presentation, there will be a screening of the 1962 short film La Jetée followed by Blade Runner.
