A.I. Artificial Intelligence (25th Anniversary)

Ahead of Steven Spielberg’s new release Disclosure Day in June, this sci-fi favourite returns to the big screen to celebrate its 25th anniversary. 

A.I. Artificial Intelligence is the story of David (Haley Joel Osment), the first mecha – a futuristic term for a mechanized human being – designed with the ability to love. A couple whose son is in a coma 'adopts' David to help them recover from their loss. Naturally, things do not go as planned, and David is forced to leave the mother (Frances O'Connor) he's been programmed to love, and make his way in the world along with Teddy, a hi-tech stuffed bear.

Director Stanley Kubrick originally developed A.I., at one point asking Spielberg to direct it. When Kubrick passed away, Spielberg took the reins. Using a treatment and thousands of drawings commissioned by Kubrick, Spielberg wrote his own screenplay, his first since 1979's Close Encounters Of TheThird Kind.
