Science fiction author Ian Watson was hired by Stanley Kubrick in 1990 to develop the story for A.I. Artificial Intelligence. Over several years, Watson worked closely with Kubrick, crafting the 90-page treatment that formed the basis for the film eventually directed by Steven Spielberg in 2001.
Key details of their collaboration include:
Development of "A.I.": Kubrick hired Watson to structure a film based on Brian Aldiss's "Supertoys Last All Summer Long," prompting Watson to invent key elements like the sex robot Gigolo Joe.
Working Relationship: Watson described the process in his memoir, Plumbing Stanley Kubrick, as an intense, "eyeball-to-eyeball" experience in Kubrick’s home, characterized by meticulous, often scattered, and long-term brainstorming.
Creative Directions: Kubrick urged Watson to add emotional depth, notoriously asking him to "put some vaginal jelly on the words" to increase the emotional texture of the script.
Legacy: Although Kubrick never filmed it himself, the final 2001 film by Spielberg is based on the narrative architecture developed by Watson under Kubrick's supervision.
英國小說家伊恩.華生(Ian Watson)辭世,享壽82歲。他憑藉科幻小說《The Embedding》(1973)成名,並在1990年時被名導史丹利.庫柏力克(Stanley Kubrick)找上,受聘將短篇小說《Supertoys Last All Summer Long》(1969)改為電影劇本,該作後來被改編為電影《A.I.人工智慧 A.I. Artificial Intelligence》(2001)。也因為庫柏力克忘記跟他簽下保密協定,使他得以藉回憶錄形式寫了一篇自己對庫柏力克的近身觀察,成為後人認識這位名導的重要文獻。
. 《Supertoys Last All Summer Long》由英國布萊恩.阿爾迪斯(Brian Aldiss)所著,在1969年於《哈潑時尚》刊載,篇幅僅2,700字,故事描寫在一個充滿智能機器的未來,一個女主人與兒子大衛之間的關係,但大衛顯然始終不知自己其實是一個機器人。史丹利.庫柏力克一直以來都對這個故事很感興趣,長期以來都有將之搬上大銀幕的野心。
