Artificial Intelligence
Every day, news stories featuring the terms “artificial” and “intelligence” dominate discussions about films and the movie industry. In 2001, Steven Spielberg explored this concept in a futuristic setting with the film A.I. Artificial Intelligence, which presents a high-tech Pinocchio fairy tale. The movie starred breakout actor Haley Joel Osment, known for his role in The Sixth Sense, alongside Jude Law. Now, this interpretation of an unrealized story by Stanley Kubrick is set to celebrate its 25th anniversary.
To mark this milestone, Paramount will release a new 4K Blu-ray. According to Blu-ray.com, this upcoming two-disc steelbook will be available at retailers on December 15, just in time for the holiday season.
25th Anniversary 4K Blu-ray
The description states,
“In a future world of runaway global warming and awe-inspiring scientific advances, humans share every aspect of their lives with sophisticated companion robots called Mechas. But when a prototype robot child named David is programmed to show unconditional love, his human family isn’t prepared for the consequences. Suddenly, David is on his own in a strange and dangerous world. Befriended by a streetwise Mecha, David embarks on a quest to discover the startling secret of his own identity.”
