Yet another ’80s film is being rebooted, and this time it will be Short Circuit according to Variety.
The original was about an armed robot that acquired a personality after a lightning strike, and sought the help of humans to prevent its destruction by its makers in the military.
“We’re bringing Number 5 into the 21st Century and taking advantage of the improvements in robotics that are so massive that robots are now performing heart surgeries in hospitals,” David Foster, the producer of the original and the remake, said.
It sounds like it could work, but I still wish if they were going to change it up that they wouldn’t say it is a remake and just give the movie a title.
BTW they hired the Dan Milano, who worked on Robot Chicken and Greg the Bunny to write the script, maybe I take back what I said about the movie could actually work.
