The history, according to the record, is that this was a Stanley Kubrick project. It was to be his next film. Of course, he died shortly after completing Eyes Wide Shut, so Steven Spielberg decided to take over and make the film as a tribute to his late friend. Even if I hadn't known this going into the theater yesterday, it was evident that the film changes direction at a certain point and becomes a much different animal that it started out to be. So while it's probably not fair to say that A.I. was made by "committee," it has been developed by 2 creative teams with very different approaches to story-telling. More on this in a moment. If you haven't heard about A.I., yet, it's the futuristic story of David, a robot boy and sci-fi Pinocchio (an allusion that is a central element to the movie's plot), who is the latest creation of a scientist (William Hurt) and his company that specializes in the creation of "mecha" or mechanical people. These robot creations are put to all kinds of uses, we learn, especially as illicit sex partners, but we also learn that humankind has an innate mistrust and dislike for robots.
