Steven Spielberg revealed key details of the upcoming SciFi flick A.I. to the Los Angeles Times over the weekend. The story of the movie which is set in the future, is about a world that is divided between "mecha" robots and "orga" organic creatures, such as humans, who treat the mechas like slaves, according to the newspaper report.

Although the trailers of the film suggest a Pinocchio like story, in which an artificial boy desires to become real, Spielberg told the newspaper, "Pinocchio is a catalyst for the beginning of an odyssey, a journey into the future. But it's not the movie."

The android boy (Haley Joel Osment) meets up with another "mecha" Spielberg called "his scoutmaster." And the character Joe Gigolo, played by Jude Law, is a "love mecha." Law then adds, "He's a gigolo. He has various clients, some he just talks to, some he massages. Some he presumably takes a bit further. They are able to change the way in which he seduces." Law added that his character sings and dances in the film "as part of entertainment. He's a full-service mecha."

A.I., based on the Brain Aldiss short story "Super Toys Last All Summer Long!" and a treatment by the late Stanley Kubrick, opens June 29.
