Remake News: Short Circuit
The minute I saw the trailer for Wall•E, I knew it was just a matter of time before someone toyed with the idea of revamping Short Circuit. (Steve Guttenberg‘s recent stint on Dancing with the Stars only strengthened my theory.) Now that bad idea is finally coming true: Johnny 5 will once again be coming alive.
Dimension Films has just announced that it has purchased the rights to remake the cheesy ‘80s film. The movie, which starred Ally Sheedy and Guttenberg, featured a military-built robot that eventually adapts human qualities. Families will supposedly crave more robot fare after this summer’s Pixar release, which is why Bob Weinstein has greenlighted the update.
S.S. Wilson and Brent Maddock, the same two behind the 1986 film and its sequel, will also be charged with writing the modern-day version. In the meantime, look for Wall•E to hit theaters on June 27.

Personally I would rather see a new Short circuit than the rip-off pixar has put together. Walle is going to be terrible… Not only is it a stolen idea, they literally stole the robot design! I am all for an updated version of Johnny 5!
