"Mall Cop" Director to Remake "Short Circuit"Posted: October 27th, 2009 by WorstPreviews.com Staff
|
 
Dimension Films has signed Steve Carr (Paul Blart: Mall Cop) to direct "Short Circuit," the remake of the 1986 sci-fi pic that went on to have a sequel two years later.
Scripted by Dan Milano ("Robot Chicken"), the remake is a reboot that brings the iconic Johnny 5 into the 21st century. Built by the military to be a highly sophisticated weapon, Johnny 5 develops a conscience and personality after being hit by lightning.
Unlike the original film, Johnny 5 will befriend a lonely boy and his fractured family, instead of a young woman (Ally Sheedy).
Producer David Foster previously said that the filmmakers are planning to keep the look of the robot the same, adding: "We're taking advantage of the improvements in robotics that are so massive that robots are now performing heart surgeries in hospitals."

Paul Blart was a dissapointment. Looking back I can say the same thing about Short Circuit. It just hasnt stood the test of time, just movie about some dumb ass robot getting into trouble. How about a remake of TAPS with some seriously Rambo type carnage? Im talking about teens in miltary school being blown up, and lighting up the local police with some serious fire power. Now thats a remake I would watch in the theatre.

This sucks...I am a big fan of the original. I cried like a bitch in the theaters when they make you think that Johnny 5 is dead. Granted I was 7...but still. Don't remake this. Sequel would be cool like somebody above said.

I was 24 when Short Circuit came out and it sucked. Maybe they'll make a better one this time.

If Shia Lebeouf was in this the script would need to be changed to "No no no no no no no no no no no no no no....no no no...no no........no no....no no no no no....no no no no no....no no no no no no no....noooooooo....no no.....no no no no...."
