LAB COATS IN
HOLLYWOOD
SCIENCE, SCIENTISTS, AND CINEMA
DAVID A. KIRBY
Stanley
Kubrick s
2001:
A
Space Odyssey,
released in
1968,
is
perhaps the most scientifically accurate film ever produced.
The film presented such a plausible, realistic vision of space
flight that many moon hoax proponents believe that Kubrick
staged the
1969
moon landing using the same studios and
techniques. Kubrick s scientific verisimilitude in
2001
came
courtesy of his science consultants
—
including two former NASA
scientists
—
and the morethansixty-fivecompanies, research
organizations, and government agencies that offered technical
advice. Although most filmmakers don t consult experts as
extensively as Kubrick did, films ranging from A Beautiful Mind
and Contact to Finding Nemo and Hulk have achieved some
degree of scientific credibility because of science consultants.
In Lab Coats in Hollywood, David Kirby examines the interaction
of science and cinema: how science consultants make movie
science plausible, how filmmakers negotiate scientific accuracy
within production constraints, and how movies affect popular
perceptions of science.
Of course, accurate science is only important to filmmak¬
ers if they believe it generates entertainment value. Scientific
expertise, Kirby points out, is most valuable to filmmakers as a
tool to help them utilize their own creative expertise. Drawing on
interviews and archival material, Kirby examines such science
consulting tasks as fact checking, shaping visual iconography,
advising actors, enhancing plausibility, creating dramatic situa¬
tions, and placing science in its cultural contexts. Kirby finds
that cinema can influence science as well: Depictions of science
in popularfilms can promote research agendas, stimulate techno¬
logical development, contribute to scientific controversies, and
even stir citizens into political action.
DAVID A. KIRBY IS LECTURER IN SCIENCE COMMUNICATION
STUDIES AT THE CENTRE FOR HISTORY OF SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY,
AND MEDICINE AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MANCHESTER, ENGLAND.
