Hey, everyone. "Moriarty" here with some Rumblings From The Lab.
I want to see this film before I know anything else. That doesn't mean I won't be a total four year old about it if spoilers come my way before the film's release, but I would prefer they just release this tomorrow. Spielberg's done such a good job keeping quiet and using his online game to generate publicity that I almost hope he makes it to release without any big stuff leaking.
Having said that, the following e-mail was too evocative not to share:
Just thought I'd drop you a line because I heard a rumour about a tidalwave in a flooded New York sequence in A.I.
With all the stuff about a half submerged city set being built for the film and the whole post-apocalyptic plot of a world flooded after the ice caps have melted, it might be true afterall. It could be a major plot point in the film or merely a short sequence in the inevitable narrated prologue sequence at the start of the film...
Anyway, I heard that CGI had already been done for this particular sequence some monthes before Kubricks death in the run up to pre-production on the film.
Does anyone else out there know of such a sequence?
Now, we've known about the melted icecaps and the flooded cities for a while, but the idea of seeing an actual tidal wave as part of a sequence... it's a striking visual.
I also got in a brief note from Jawad over at the SKG Fansite:
According to the latest premiere magazine, A.I. is going to have DANCE NUMBERS. More at my site!
Jawad
... dance numbers?!
Man, it can't get here fast enough...
"Moriarty" out.
