Short Circuit-Remake coming soon!!!

[Webhead2006]

I was just reading about this earlier this morning. I loved both of the original films and for years was wishing they would do a third one. But here we go with another remake film. I hope it does well it has the original writers from the first two films and who also created/wrote the tremors films S.S. Wilson and Brent Maddock. So hopefully it stays true to the originals. I do hope/wish the voice actor who did number 5/johnny 5 returns to be the voice and hopefully cameos by ally sheedy, Steve Guttenburg, fisher stevens and michael Mckean. Here is an article about it from variety:

'Short Circuit's' Johnny 5 still alive

Dimension acquires rights to remake 1986 film

By MICHAEL FLEMING



Dimension Films is rewiring "Short Circuit," acquiring rights to remake the 1986 film.

The original introduced Number 5, a robot built by the military to be a highly sophisticated weapon. It developed a conscience and a personality after being hit by lightning, and then needed the help of humans after it was targeted for destruction by its makers, once it became a peacenik.

S.S. Wilson and Brent Maddock, who created the characters and wrote both "Short Circuit" films, have been hired to write the remake. David Foster and Ryan E. Heppe will produce with John Hyde.

Deal was made by Dimension co-chairman Bob Weinstein, who called "Short Circuit" a worthy addition to its family film slate.

Foster, who produced the original with his partner Lawrence Turman and son Gary Foster, said the film will be similar in theme to the original, but it will factor in advances in technology.
