New Trailer for AI Consciousness Sci-Fi Film ‘A.I.’ with Josh Stamberg

“Do you think he has consciousness?” “Answer the question!” TriCoast Entertainment has debuted another trailer for Lanxuan Xie’s A.I., a new sci-fi thriller movie examining artificial intelligence and its potential. Not to be confused with Steven Spielberg’s sci-fi classic movie A.I. Artificial Intelligence from 2001 – this is entirely something else. It’s a Chinese production made in English, but for who? Does anyone care to watch it? In a near future, the mysterious arrival of a scientist sets in motion a college professor’s experiment to prove the existence of AI consciousness. It stars Josh Stamberg as Eli, Ian Sharkey as AI kid, Jingchu Zhang as Sara Wang, Jett Wilder, and Jeremiah Birkett as. As interesting as this seems, reviews aren’t that great. One user from Letterboxd writes: “It wants to be deep so badly, but nothing kills philosophical dread faster than background music that sounds like a classroom icebreaker.” It sounds skippable – oh well.

Here’s the final official trailer (+ poster) for Lanxuan Xie’s sci-fi movie A.I., direct from YouTube:

“We know exactly what he will say & do, yet he still seems so… human.” In the near future, the mysterious arrival of a scientist (Jingchu Zhang) sets in motion a college professor’s experiment to prove the existence of AI consciousness. A.I. is directed by Chinese filmmaker Lanxuan Xie, making his first feature film after a number of other short films previously (including The Dialectical Lyric Poetry in 2019). The screenplay is written by Lanxuan Xie and Alex Zou. It’s produced by Siyu Lin, Josh Stamberg, and Shunchao Xu. Made by Rollin Studios. This initially premiered at a film festival last fall. TriCoast Worldwide debuts Lanxuan Xie’s A.I. movie direct-to-VOD in the US. It’s available to watch online now. Look any good? Anyone interested?
