Short answers, pulled from the story.
A.I. Artificial Intelligence was directed by Steven Spielberg and released on the 29th of June 2001 by Warner Bros. Pictures. The screenplay was written by Spielberg, based on a screen story by Ian Watson and loosely adapted from Brian Aldiss's 1969 short story "Supertoys Last All Summer Long."
Stanley Kubrick began development on an adaptation of the Aldiss story in the early 1970s, and the finished film was released in 2001, representing nearly three decades of on-and-off work. Kubrick hired a series of writers including Brian Aldiss, Bob Shaw, Ian Watson, and Sara Maitland before handing the project to Spielberg in 1995. The film did not gain momentum until after Kubrick's death in March 1999.
A.I. Artificial Intelligence grossed $235.93 million worldwide against a production budget of $90-100 million. It earned $78.62 million in the United States and Canada and $157 million in other countries, including approximately $78 million in Japan alone.
Haley Joel Osment played David, an eleven-year-old android programmed with the ability to love. Osment was Spielberg's first and only choice for the role, and he prepared by avoiding blinking his eyes and maintaining precise posture. He won the Saturn Award for Best Performance by a Younger Actor for the film.
John Williams composed and conducted the original score, performed by the Hollywood Studio Symphony. The score was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Music Score at the 74th Academy Awards. Williams described it as an homage to Kubrick and included a quotation of Richard Strauss's Der Rosenkavalier at Kubrick's specific request.
Spielberg stated in 2002 that the entire last twenty minutes of the film, including the resurrection of Monica, was completely Kubrick's conception. Screenwriter Ian Watson confirmed that the ending was "pretty close to what I wrote for Stanley, and what Stanley wanted." Producer Jan Harlan also stated that Kubrick "would have applauded" the final film.
