Proof that Hollywood will not be satisfied until all good memories of growing up the '80s are destroyed: Dimension Films has attached a writer and director to the previously announced remake of the 1986 robots-are-our-friends classic Short Circuit . It will be written by Robot Chicken scribe Dan Milano and directed by Steve Carr ( Paul Blart: Mall Cop ). Fingers crossed for a Steve Guttenberg...
We've known that Dimension would remake Short Circuit, and we've known that Robot Chicken writer Dan Milano would be scripting. Now we've got a director: Steve Carr. Who? How about this: he's the guy who directed Paul Blart: Mall Cop. I haven't seen Paul Blart: Mall Cop. It might be more funny than a lot of people would like to admit. (I doubt it, but trying to be fair here.) But knowing that...

The 5 is alive. There is a remake/reboot of Short Circuit coming our way and Variety reports that director Steve Carr ( Paul Blart: Mall Co p) and Dan Milano of Robot Chicken is writing. Still no word if Tim Blaney will be reprising his role as the iconic Johnny Five, but three IMDB message-board posters are holding their breath in apprehension, while the rest of us ask why this franchise needs...
Were it not for Dan Milano ( Robot Chicken ) writing the screenplay, I'd have very few good things to say about a remake of Short Circuit . What a silly movie. And it was tragically unnecessary back in 1986, which makes me wonder how it will be refitting almost 25 years later. Dimension is revamping the concept - another bad omen - and the studio has hired Steve Carr to direct. Carr made lemonade...

The Hollywood reboot machine continues its full-fledged steamrolling over my fondest childhood memories, this time in the form of a "Short Circuit" remake. Variety reports that the film — already announced with "Robot Chicken" writer Dan Milano working on the screenplay — will be directed by Steve Carr, who recently helmed the Kevin James-starring "Paul Blart:...
This right here, this is when we know this movie is going to suck. Say what you will, but there's no giving Steve Carr the benefit of the doubt on this one. Besides directing the pile of crap known as Paul Blart: Mall Cop, his other credits include Are We Done Yet', Rebound, Daddy Day Care, Dr. Dolittle 2, and Next Friday. Sure, the script, written by "Robot Chicken" writer Dan Milano,...
... of the 1986 sci-fi pic. Carr is coming off the Kevin James hit “Paul Blart: Mall Cop.” Scripted by Dan Milano (”Robot Chicken”), the remake is a robot 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. He befriends a lonely boy and his fractured...

... weeks on end. Now he'll be directing the "subversive" Short Circuit that was penned by Dan Milano . At last, Variety tells just what Dimension Films considers to be a radical script: "Built by the military to be a highly sophisticated weapon, Johnny 5 develops a conscience and personality after being hit by lightning. He befriends a lonely boy and his fractured family."...

BY: | October 27th 2009 at 11:48 AM Considering several, if not most, movie bloggers are all of the same generation I am assuming a lot are like me and grew up watching the 1986 sci-fi classic Short Circuit. However, while I enjoyed the film, I don't think I will be falling in line and getting all that upset about the remake Dimension Films is putting together.It was announced back in June that Dan...
... Are We There Yet? ) and he has his pulse on mainstream fat-ass America ( Paul Blart: Mall Cop ). Dan Milano ("Robot Chicken," "Greg the Bunny") wrote the script, which is a straight-forward remake. I suppose there's not a lot of leeway for interpretation: It's a fucking robot, hit by lightning, that develops human emotions, who needs the help of humans once it is targeted by its makers for...
