In the switch to Jupiter, the monolith is not placed on a satellite of Jupiter at all but instead it floats free in a Lagrange Point with one of Jupiter's satellites.The switch to Jupiter (which Clarke kept in the book sequels) was fortuitous, as Europa, a moon of Jupiter, was later discovered to have a largely ice/water crust, raising many possibilities for setting life there.The rings of the Saturn model, constructed using the best available information, looked too "artificial." Then Voyagers I and II zoomed by and, in retrospect, it turned out that their model was pretty accurate.The reason for this change was to avoid a Special Effect Failure: the film crew couldn't build a model of Saturn that Kubrick liked, so he changed it. Unlike a Novelization, there are distinct differences between the two for starters, Clarke's Discovery travels to one of Saturn's moons, while Kubrick's Discovery goes to Jupiter. Clarke stated the book should be credited as "Clarke and Kubrick", with "Kubrick and Clarke" credited for the screenplay. Kubrick and Clarke then expanded the story into a film and book that were released simultaneously. Clarke's original short story, "The Sentinel", dealt only with the part about the Monolith note In the story, it was a reflective pyramid on the Moon.Adaptation Expansion/ The Film of the Book:.Acid-Trip Dimension: Dave going through the Star Gate is probably the most famous example.The "Star Child" is presumably the hyper-evolved Bowman, but how this transformation takes place is not specified. Absent Aliens: The film may, or may not, contain aliens the beings who set up the monoliths, receive Dave Bowman in the pseudo-hotel room and are heard only as high-pitched, rapid chittering noises note Actually distorted snatches of György Ligeti pieces - Ligeti reportedly sued MGM for this abuse of his music may, or may not be evolved humans.He pops up through a rift in the Portal level, interacting with- who else?- GlaDOS. (as a result of the Time Warner/Turner merger of 1996, they own the rights to this movie).

The film's iconic artificial intelligence HAL also made an unexpected appearance in the Massive Multiplayer Crossover videogame LEGO Dimensions- developed by Warner Bros. The Monolith returned in the last two issues of X-51's 1999-2000 series, in which it was revealed that it had been created by the Celestials (in the Marvel Universe, at least ) Machine Man, who was later incorporated into the Marvel Universe. The first seven issues focused on the Monolith aiding humans in the past and the future.

One of them was made into a movie as well ( 2010: The Year We Make Contact). Clarke went on to write three sequel novels which mostly followed the film's continuity.
