    He looks like a grown-up version of Rusty the robot. Darrow/Miller should sue. This movie is quickly becoming the Godzilla of 2001. SPIELBERG'S GONE GOOFY!!! Is this why he couldn't do a Director Commentary on the Jaws DVD? Because he was too busy making Jude Law into a "real little boy". David Fincher needs to take Steve out back and get his priorities straight.

    if it ever will. There are new "clues" released about once a week, and no one's close to solving it yet.The movie isnt out in Europe until the autumn so they may try to string it out til then. Actually they probably wont, screw the international market.

    One Kubrick vision restored, at least

    by sefsterj

    I remember reading an article on AI in Playboy a few years back, written by the writer who colaborated with Kubrick on the treatment.


    They mentioned the tough decision to make the boy's friend a sex robot. The choice was going to make AI a little more adult-oriented. Well, there you have it, Gigolo Joe is a character. That's why, as the previous poster mentioned, he looks kinda, uh, fruity.


    Let's just hope this doesn't end up like Milk Money.

    by lobanhaki

    That in his last three movies besides Lost World : Jurassic Park 2, Spielberg has made movies whose content is not exactly for kids. The best we can hope for is a PG-13. It could easily be an R rated film though. Of course, that probably won't be a bad thing, since Spielberg is quite a mature person when it comes to mature content.

    by jtylor

    To the fellow who thinks that Miller and Darrow should sue for Jude looking like a grown-up Rusty-- their comic "Big Guy and Rusty, The Boy Robot" is an homage to Gigantor (Tetsujin 28) and Astro Boy (Tetsuwan Atom), so sheesh, know that they were "ripping" off someone. Osamu Tezuka (who wrote and drew the original manga of The Mighty Atom) was also riffing on the Pinocchio story, BTW, and does it rather well. I'm looking forward to AI. I hope that, while it might explore the Pinocchio angle, it includes enough of the hint of backstory the online game spookily brings to life.

    Spielberg's Chances = Pretty Darned Good!

    by themonkeycharmer

    When you look at Spielberg's stats as a DIRECTOR, rather than a producer, there are pretty good odds that he will make A.I. a great movie.

    Of course, "Always", "Hook" and "Temple of Doom" were pretty bad movies. But note that he has another 18 that I would classify anywhere from pretty good to absolutely awesome.

    That means that he has at least an 80% chance of DIRECTING something that's pretty good.

    Of those 18 movies I classify as pretty good, 9 of them are absolutely awesome... those are really good odds!!! I am excited.

    My one hope is that he makes a Kubrick film, not a Hollywood ripoff of a Kubrick film. Its going to require washed out colors, and a really horrible soundtrack to make it good in my eyes.

    Jude's JACKET!!!!! AAAAARRRGH!!! I WANT THAAAAAAT!!!!

    by user id indeed!

    WHY NOT ME!!?!? WHY?!?! NOT!??! MEEEEEE?!?!?!? Well, anyway, I can't wait for this movie. I'm willing to sell my first born son and a pound of my flesh to get that jacket. This ain't based on a novel, but actually a short story (we're talking short... like, six pages) called "Supertoys Last All Summer Long". It was pretty poignant and rather sad, but I think it was seriously lacking in that in had no shimmering green jacket like JUDE'S!!!! WAAAAAHHHH!!! I think this scene takes place in a futuristic mall, in fact, and Haley is sitting in one of those things that go back and forth when you put a quarter in. Jude is staring in awe at a sign in a Bath & Beauty window that says "20% off marked hair gel". Haley is wondering what's taking him so long to just put the #$@! coin in. I am just about pissing my pants waiting for this movie. If it's delayed, rrr, so help mee... I'll... um... cry. Would that make you feel big, Speilberg?!? Huh?!?! Well, that's enough. This has been a Moment with Killroy! I'm KILLROY!!!!

    It's Heartbeeps Too-Beyond Woodendome

    by domisinnerchild

    Again, who the Hell is going to want Jude Law and Osmond to survive the Road Warrior robot mutilation scene? Spielberg is putting two things typically nobody likes onscreen (annoying cute kids and euro-trash) in danger. Hmmm... 99% chance the audience is going to boo if they survive? Somebody explain this to me! The only way I see this film going is an ending where Osmond "teaches them to love" and brings the humans and robots together. Damn, I hope I'm wrong, but it's scaring me.

    by domisinnerchild

    I generally like Speilberg and Kubrick movies, but this one just smells of Hook crossed with Bicentenial Man. Throw me a bone... ANYTHING. A theory as to how this film will "rock", "blow away", "kick ass", or various other cliches spewed out on the talkbacks. So far all I know is this movie has a kid that probably is a robot, Jude Law may be a sexbot or at least looks really weird, the kids wants to be made real, there's sappy music in the trailer, a rumored scene that's either out of Dawn of the Dead or Road Warriors involving hatred towards robots, and a cool internet ad campaign that 1% of the target demographics will participate in (if the marketers are lucky) Ummm... okay. Riddle me this Batman, name one movie that involved adorable kids and mature action that was good? If there even truly is action. Name one action film marketed like a full of heart Speilberg fairy tale (uh... whoops. Sorry about the crying kiddies. Could make a good double feature with Babe II). I feel I'm usually creative and open minded, but it's freaking just not going through my brain. Either that robots on sticks rumor is false and this will be Pinnochio, only it's be golly whiz the best darn wooden boy story ever (with robots to appeal to the tranformer kiddies) or those parts fit together somehow that doesn't produce Robin Williams' poo. Is there a twist ending where Halley Joe isn't a robot but actually was born a poor black child (sorry, ripped off the Jerk)? Does it turn into the anti-Waterworld big budget Road Warrior (uh... how with the cast?)? Will I care about fancy hair sexbot and that kid from the Sixth Sense because their stories are so moving ("Please make me real... gag")? I can't see it. All that I see is an ending where they beat the odds and love triumps over all bringing the family... and humans and robots... together in peace and happiness. SOMEBODY POKE OUT ME EYES!!! Please, somebody post anything to make me believe this won't happen.

    by domisinnerchild

    I'm not saying movies with kids are bad. I'm saying more mature targeted action movies (not Spy Kids, but stuff like Temple of Doom, Last Action Hero, Beyond Thunderdome, etc.) where they seem to be trying to mix their audiences always fail. It's just hard to be gritty with a cute kid. The Professional is probably the only one I can think of, but there really wasn't a hint of sappiness in that (The Shinning isn't a bad call, but the kid was pretty creepy from the start). AI (I know, it's just a trailer), seems to be gushing with it. Switching gears mid film (again, just a theory. But I'd like somebody to give an idea how this would work) from sappy woodenboy wanting to be loved to woodenboy in Hell seems a little jolting. Is the audience that enjoys the first half going to hate the second half as they cover Junior's eyes during the robot rape and execution scenes? Will the audience that would enjoy seeing robots torn limb from limb be willing to sit through a little kid making Bambi eyes at his fake family for half the movie and then groan at the moral at the end?

    Interesting. I like the concept of death. So something along the lines of Woodenboy is loved, parents have real kid, Woodenboy dumped in the woods, Woodenboy hooks up with sexbot, Woodenboy and sexbot captured by robot hating hicks, Woodenboy makes sacrifice... DAMN IT!!! It still sounds like crap! I really appreciate the try, but it's still not working. It's still the kid in JP2 with a bigger role and less dinosaurs, but at least the kid dies. HELP!
