From firstshowing.net:
Oh no! Now all of you who claim that Wall-E is a “rip off” of Johnny 5 will get your moment in the spotlight, too! The Weinstein Company and Dimension Films have acquired the rights to remake the 1986 family classic Short Circuit. Even the original creators, S.S. Wilson and Brent Maddock, who created the characters and wrote both of the original movies, are back on board again writing the script for the remake. No director has been hired yet, but the producers do claim that it will at least be similar in its theme, with technological advances accounted for. Johnny 5 is still alive!

Number 5 is ALIVE!!!!!! This is very interesting…and I’m not sure how I feel about it. It is a film I loved so very dearly as a kid and while knowing the original creators are on board is comforting - this isn’t a movie I ever thought would be ‘remade’ as such. Expanded upon perhaps…but not remade.
I did like the remake of ‘The Absent Minded Professor’ as ‘Flubber’ with weeble and the wonderful ever bouncing bowling ball…so lets hope this one is done well!!!
