All These Worlds Are Yours is a fascinating firsthand account of the making of the sequel to 2001: A Space Odyssey.

The year was 1984. The film was MGM's biggest gamble to save the studio. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences and the American Film Institute unanimously picked neophyte John Huckert for a Directing Internship on the film 2010: The Year We Make Contact. As Huckert learned, observed and participated, he kept a journal, documenting his experiences for the entire 71 day shoot.
