Draws on

What the speakers say they, or a film of theirs, drew on. Each is a speaker's account: “the maker said so” when they report the maker's own words, “the host's read” when the read is theirs.

Stanley Kubrick: 2 lines

  1. unmapped (developed from unmade screenplay) · through A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001), which they acted in: Stanley Kubrick ⇒ A.I. Artificial Intelligence (the host's read). A.I. is the Kubrick screenplay that Spielberg made.
    “AI is the is the cubic screenplay that Spielberg made.”

  2. career (inherited project) · through A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001), which they acted in: Stanley Kubrick ⇒ A.I. Artificial Intelligence (the host's read). The speaker wonders whether Spielberg would mind A.I. being called half Kubrick's movie.
    “would he be offended in that kind of way of like, that's half Stanley's movie?”

Groundhog Day (1993): 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Edge of Tomorrow (2014), which they acted in: Groundhog Day ⇒ Edge of Tomorrow (the host's read). The pitch is Groundhog Day as sci-fi action, and it keeps the loop while adding war stakes.
    “Doug Lyman is doing like an sci-fi action movie groundhog day with Tom Cruise”

Jurassic Park (1993): 1 line

  1. unmapped (technology showed it was possible) · through A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001), which they acted in: Jurassic Park ⇒ A.I. Artificial Intelligence (the host's read). The speaker says Kubrick, who first asked Spielberg to build a robot, saw Jurassic Park and reconsidered.
    “And then he sees Jurassic Park and he's once again like, well, wait a second.”

Pinocchio: 1 line

  1. unmapped (template) · through A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001), which they acted in: Pinocchio ⇒ A.I. Artificial Intelligence (the maker said so: Kubrick to the short story writer (Brian Aldiss), as the speaker tells it). Kubrick told the short story writer he wanted to combine the story with Pinocchio, per the speaker.
    “he was like, I want to take your story and combine it with Pinocchio.”

Drawn on by

What the speakers say drew on them or a film of theirs, marked the same way.

Top Gun: Maverick (2022): 1 line

  1. career (career) · through Edge of Tomorrow (2014), which they acted in: Edge of Tomorrow ⇒ Top Gun: Maverick (the host's read). Edge cracked a new era of Cruise; Ethan Hunt and Maverick run on what he learned here.
    “That Maverick is really running on a lot of this.”
