...more." Many people look forward to A.I.'s June 29th summer release either because it is Steven Spielberg's next movie or because it would have been Stanley Kubric's last. Spielberg's screenplay was based upon Stanley Kubric's 80-page treatment of a short story by Brian Aldiss, Super-Toys Last All Summer Long. In addition to starring America's favorite child actor Osment, this film will also star Jude Law as Gigolo Joe, Jake Thomas as Martin Swinton, William Hurt, France O'Connor, and Sam Robards.
