A.I. ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE Reveals how the project originated and how it was brought to fruition through the efforts of two great movie directors Foreword by Steven Spielberg | Introduction by Jan Harlan | Commentary on Chris Baker’s art by Brian Aldiss
Film is the medium of the modern age, and in this spectacular, largeformat publication, one of the pinnacles of contemporary moviemaking is celebrated. A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001) was a collaboration between two cinematic giants: Stanley Kubrick and Steven Spielberg. Here, the directors’ combined visions and sensibilities are presented along with the work of their remarkably talented colleagues—above all, Chris Baker, the film’s conceptual artist. At the heart of the book are Baker’s drawings, many never before seen. Commissioned by Kubrick and used in Spielberg’s eventual production designs, the drawings display Baker’s imagination and rare technical skill. Accompanying the drawings are extracts from Kubrick’s notebooks, stills from the finished film, and photographs of behind-the-scenes action, highlighting the use of pioneering special effects, animatronic work, and the “virtual studio.” Jan Harlan was Executive Producer on a number of Kubrick films, including A. I. Artificial Intelligence, The Shining, Full Metal Jacket, and Barry Lyndon. Jane M. Struthers is Head of Publications at the University of the Arts, London, which houses the Stanley Kubrick Archive. Brian Aldiss’s short story, Super-Toys Last All Summer Long, was the inspiration for A.I. Chris Baker’s storyboards and conceptual artwork have been used in movies from Eyes Wide Shut to Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
