Short Circuit Gets Rebooted
Sci-Fi Movie News, Short Circuit (Remake) Movie — By endymi0n on October 27, 2009
It was inevitable. “Short Circuit”, the story about a robot made by the military to kill, kill, kill, but who, after getting struck by lightning, just wanted to love, love, love, is getting a re-do.
The original “Short Circuit” starred Ally Sheedy, Steve Guttenberg and Fisher Stevens and didn’t totally suck at all. The droid (Johnny 5) in the picture looks like a taller Wall-E. Dimension Films has signed Steve Carr ( Paul Blart: Mall Cop ) to direct. I’m assuming this movie will remain a comedy but you never know. A serious idea is imprisoned here. What happens when we build these things to a level where they think they are alive? Is this possible? What is sentience anyway? Is it just programming? Is sentience an evolutionary advantage?
Thanks again ComingSoon for the tip.
