The screenplay for A.I. Artificial Intelligence was authored in 1969 by Brian Aldiss, and Stanley Kubrick started his work on the story in the late 1970s. Plans for the movie became silent, and in around 1994, Kubrick requested Spielberg to film it, but Spielberg refused. Kubrick instead filmed Eyes Wide Shut because he was concerned that the film had too weak visual effects. When Kubrick died in 1999, Spielberg finally agreed to take up the project at Kubrick's wife's request. The movie was filmed and released in 2001.
