Her is a 2013 American science-fiction (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science_fiction_film) romantic drama film (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romantic_drama_film) written, directed, and produced by Spike Jonze (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spike_Jonze) . It marks Jonze's solo screenwriting debut. The film follows Theodore Twombly (Joaquin Phoenix (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joaquin_Phoenix) ), a man who develops a relationship with Samantha (Scarlett Johansson (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scarlett_Johansson) ), an artificially intelligent (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_intelligence) virtual assistant (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_assistant) personified through a female voice. The film also stars Amy Adams (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amy_Adams) , Rooney Mara (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rooney_Mara) , and Olivia Wilde (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olivia_Wilde) .
Jonze conceived the idea in the early 2000s after reading an article about a website that allowed for instant messaging with an artificial intelligence program. After making I'm Here (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I%27m_Here_(film)) (2010), a short film sharing similar themes, Jonze returned to the idea. He wrote the first draft of the script in five months. Principal photography (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principal_photography) took place in Los Angeles (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_Angeles) and Shanghai (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shanghai) in mid-2012. The role of Samantha was recast in post-production, with Samantha Morton (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samantha_Morton) being replaced with Johansson. Additional scenes were filmed in August 2013 following the casting change.
