A remastered version of Stanley Kubrick's science fiction classic film 2001: A Space Odyssey will close the 2001 Berlin Film Festival before being re-released in several major territories worldwide, according to a report from Variety.

The Berlin screening is set for Feb. 18, and the movie will be released on March 7, which also coincides with the second anniversary of the director's death.

Before those events take place, 2001 will screen once, on Jan. 1 at the National Film Theatre in London. Organizers hope that Kubrick's widow and children will attend the NFT presentation and the screening in Berlin, along with the film's special-effects creator, Douglas Trumbull.
