Hey folks, Harry here with some info about A.I. Seems that more and more is beginning to leak out now that several of the extras have come off set. Still haven't got a notion of how this movie comes together, but it is interesting watching the jigsaw pieces hit the table and not knowing what the image is supposed to look like. This first piece comes from the R-Man...
Harry,
Damn, someone beat me to it. I was sitting on this but after seeing the other report I wanted to back it up.
The AI info is this:
The sets are elaborate as hell. He was playing background in a scene that takes place in something called Sin City I think. Anyway, Jude and Haley were walking around and Haley was carrying a talking teddy bear. The bear also..... nah, I'll let someone else spoil it.
As to Law being a shapeshifter, that's true because he would be made up completely different as they would do the scenes over and over again.
There was a enormous soundstage outfitted with a giant blue screen. A glance behind the camera's at the monitors revealed a cityscape that was breathtaking. I won't describe the buildings so you'll at least have that to be a surprise.
There's also a glad.... nah, I'll let someone else spoil that part too.
All in all, it's going to be a "very unique and weird ass movie".
I know you'll think I'm lying, but the info is legit. If you want to know some other secrets Harry, I can fill you in on the stuff that I didn't tell you and maybe even send you something. Let me know...
Call me, R-Man
And next comes from H.G. Wells, who dares to tell us of things to come...
Quick little tidbit for you... I work on the WB lot doing menial labor on a certain television show shooting in Stage 24 (it's got a few of my good FRIENDS in it, to be obvious). Just down the way in Stages 15, 16, 20, and 21 is a little project called AI.
Now I have read previous entries to AICN talking about a big underwater backdrop in the scenic arts dept. Some dismissed it as hogwash. UH-UH. It's really real and looks incredible. Combine that with another recent backdrop of the decimated city of London, above ground and in daylight, and you've got a killer movie.
By the way, Jude Law's character is named Giggolo Joe and lil' ole Haley's character is named David. This from the daily call sheet.
Stage 16 is where the Perfect Storm was shot, and while they did have a huge tank for that, all the underwater stuff for AI is shooting over on the Sony lot. Stage 16 is setup into what looks like some huge office complex??? Couldn't get a close enough look to satisfy my taste, but I'll see what I can do.
Hope all this helps...
Just call me H.G. Wells
Alright... Giggolo Joe eh? Well, I guess that would go along with the sex menus that I have heard about.... and the prostitutes. Seems that the universe this film takes place in is very hard and very bizarre. Apparently at some point we end up in a club that has sex menus... you see... according to the spy, a character (unspecified) will go in... and you would see folks wearing hankerchiefs in their right or left pocket.... and depending on the color and the placement, it would tell others what type of sex you would like... Apparently the menu is quite detailed with subjects like 'fisting - give or recieve', 'anal - give or recieve' and so on and so on. Now, this doesn't sound like the typical Spielberg film (GOOD THING) and actually seems to fall more into the world that Kubrick shot in. Well, till next time...Here's the Hanky Code, thanks to the fella below for being sick enough to find it!!!
