I saw that. On my list to buy - hopefully they do a good job re-mastering this !

Agreed. Makes me a tiny bit nervous as Robert Harris said on another forum:
"Any harvesting of elements would not be performed by MPI, and per the query directly above, the original elements of 2001 are a well-loved mess, with heavy use, damage, and dupes.
If work were to be performed, it would be an extremely expensive proposition."
However, Warner did a great job on some of their classic movies such as Casablanca, Wizard of Oz, Gone with the Wind, etc.
Ideally an 8K scan since this was a 65mm movie.

I'd buy 4k versions of Casablanca, Wizard of Oz, Gone with the Wind, and other classics.
