A.I. Artificial Intelligence: From Stanley Kubrick to Steven Spielberg: The Vision Behind the Film

A.I. Artificial Intelligence was the extraordinary collaboration of two cinematic giants, Stanley Kubrick and Steven Spielberg.

This spectacular large-format publication reveals how the project originated, how it was developed and how it was finally brought to fruition.

Commissioned by Kubrick, conceived in response to A.I. story outlines and used in Spielberg’s eventual production designs, over 150 stunning images by the film’s conceptual artist, Chris Baker, display a breathtaking imagination and rare technical skill.

Accompanying the drawings are extracts from Kubrick’s notebooks and story treatments, stills from the finished film, and photographs of behind-the-scenes action, including pioneering animatronics and use of the ‘virtual studio’.

Includes:
• Foreword by Steven Spielberg
• Preface by Brian Aldiss, writer of the short story that inspired Kubrick
• Essay by Dr Cynthia Breazeal, world expert on robotics
• Commentaries from key participants such as writers and crew members
• Texts exploring the principal scenes and themes of the film
• Special fold-out section

This publication – a work of art as well as painstaking research – is one that no film fan will want to be without.
