"Short Circuit" Remake to Make Johnny 5 More Threatening

Sounds lame.

If they hire El Debarge to contribute a song for the remake, the title is "Whose Darker she says". Lol. A remake more darker than the Dark Knight.

Make Johnny 5 More Threatening ... And less like a dustbin

Johnny 5 looked crap back in the 80's, This is a real lame remake idea

"Short Circuit" Remake to Make Johnny 5 More Threatening...in short he will look like Megatron from Transformers.

What Trailer said.

And if you would be watching the original film today, it will look so old & stupid.

I'll wait for the porno version

Teenager? Younger?

Johhny 5 must have input!

Your wait is over it's on the way .....

f*ck this remake!!

this remake, isn't done already? WALEE? again?

f*ck this, i'll just watch Transformers Prime.

HA!TRAILER
looks like RANGERS robobutler!
"need to input!"

As long as they have the epic scene where Johnny 5 disassembles the car, I'm in. Besides, we need a better Boy and His Robot film than what AI and Transformers gave us, and Iron Giant is a cartoon, so if done right, I think it could be badass. Besides, Real Steel was surprisingly good if not entirely predictable.

I stopped reading at (Hop, Alvin and the Chipmunks). How can anyone who was involved with those films understand what threatening even means?

Another remake made by Hollywood that no one wants.

I seriously hope Hollywood doesn't remake The Gremlins and The Goonies, those movies are my classic childhood movies.

They just want to escape any confusion with johnny 5 and WALEE. Damn cartoon robot completely ripped off johnny 5. Its painfully obvious. But that is what people will think. f*cking hollywood

Actually, the state of robots has advanced considerably in 26 years. The original Johnny 5 looks ridiculous when compared to robots built within the last ten years, and even in 1986, the version used wasn't terribly realistic. But you're right, WALL-E heavily resembles Johnny 5, and I swear they both remind me of E.T.

You should look up Honda's ASIMO to see just how laughable Johnny 5 compares to today technology.

My idea for a robot movie...

A.W.E.S.O.M.-O (played by Eric Cartman)

Wall-E was brilliant. An amazing achievement for Disney/Pixar to make a film with very little dialogue in the beginning - (and an environmental social responsibility message too that even kids can understand). Yet Wall-E was totally comprehendible through sounds, actions of the robots. The animation was well done especially seeing rendered post-apocalyptic landscapes rendered in dust and orange which contrasted well against the futuristic sterileness of the space cruise ship.

No fond memories of Short Circuit.

"Yet Wall-E was totally comprehendible through sounds, actions of the robots."

Most people can be understood through a limited gestural repertoire too, as long as the thought conveyed is limited.

Pat your stomach and point to your mouth and everyone in the world will know you're hungry, for example.

Wall-E worked because he was a simple robot conveying simple thoughts. Had he tried to use gestural commands to convey Kierkegaard's existentialism, I think he would have failed...

@Mink -

The amazing thing for me was seeing how well this film worked on my 3 year old kid. At this stage in their lives, children have very limited experiences. They have seen a handful of Disney Pixars and their eyes light up at hearing funny characters move and bounce around on the screen, accompanied by great music and a solid story. Now with Wall-E, I think Disney tried something very different and it paid off. Kids this time around had their attention focused on one single character moving thru a desolate landscape, stuck on the daily routine of its custodial task. Instead of being bored with the lack of action and tonnes of animated characters, kids were fixated and drawn by this little robot who seemed less and less of a robot but more human with each passing frame. Kids even sympathized with Wall-E, a worn model, clearly not the latest advancement of robotics (again well contrasted with EVE). That Wall-E closely resembled E.T. was deliberate as it brought a familarity for older audiences. For me, Wall-E was a compelling way to tell a story. And refreshing for Disney as every sound, beep, blip meant something.

@mink my comment was more of a an observation of part of the thought process for them as i see it. Ofcourse they will update the robot to look more human. Changing with the times, the themes. Its just natural progression of things. Buck Rodgers-->Lost in space---->Star wars---->I am Robot. Movies will always progress and adapt to public conciousness. At the time they are made what is the popular representation of what robots are thought yo look likr will
