There was talk quite a while ago here about the rumored "AI" movie. The tie to IDM? I can't recall... but I figured some might be interested in this.

The story is "the tale of a young 'robot' boy that he likened to the story of Pinocchio." The two had talked extensively before the latter's death, and were good friends. The movie is based on the short stoy Supertoys Last All Summer Long, by Brian Aldiss.
