Celebrate the movies of legendary filmmaker Steven Spielberg
To celebrate the 80th birthday of legendary filmmaker Steven Spielberg, and his return to science-fiction filmmaking with his upcoming film Disclosure Day, we are thrilled to announce our Spielberg Season at Weymouth Pavilion.
Over the coming months, we’ll be bringing one of Spielberg’s iconic films back to the big screen every month, giving audiences the chance to experience some of cinema’s greatest achievements as they were meant to be seen – on the big screen!
Since making his directorial debut more than 50 years ago, Spielberg has remained at the very pinnacle of Hollywood filmmaking, crafting some of the most beloved and influential films ever made. From blockbuster classics such as Jurassic Park, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial and Jaws, to powerful historical epics including Saving Private Ryan and Schindler’s List, few directors have achieved the extraordinary combination of critical acclaim, box-office success and lasting cultural impact that Spielberg has enjoyed throughout his remarkable career.

Roy becomes increasingly obsessed with UFOs and subliminal messaging following his experience, distancing himself from his wife and children but drawing him closer towards parallel investigations being conducted by scientists, the military and other survivors of encounters who are attempting to communicate with the mysterious otherworldly presence.

A.I: Artificial Intelligence (2001)
Artificial Intelligence’ is the story of David (Haley Joel Osment), the first mecha (a futuristic term for a mechanized human being) designed with the ability to love. A couple whose son is in a coma “adopts” David to help them recover from their loss. Naturally, things do not go as planned, and David is forced to leave the mother (Frances O’Connor) he’s been “imprinted” to love, and make his way in the world. Traveling with Teddy, a hi-tech stuffed bear, David escapes the Flesh Fair, where angry humans destroy mechas to “purge artificiality,” and unexpectedly befriends Gigolo Joe (Jude Law), a robot designed to pleasure women. Joe agrees to help David in his quest to become human.
Director Stanley Kubrick originally developed A.I., at one point asking Spielberg to direct it. When Kubrick passed away, Spielberg took the reins. Using a treatment and thousands of drawings commissioned by Kubrick, Spielberg wrote his own screenplay (his first since 1979’s ‘Close Encounters Of The Third Kind’).
