Tim Hill to Helm 'Short Circuit' Reboot... Reboot?
Source: Deadline
No disassemble! Dimension Films' reboot of the classic 1986 film 'Short Circuit' has been languishing in development hell for quite some time but with the recent announcement that they are returning to square one with the project and signing director Tim Hill to oversee the project, it may signal the final warning alarm for the franchise.
Fans of the original film - a "soft sci-fi" comedy about a dangerous experimental military weapon who gains sentience after a lightning strike fuses some of his circuits - have been critical of the project from the very beginning when it was announced that 'Paul Blart: Mall Cop' director Steve Carr would be taking the reins, using a script from 'Robot Chicken' writer Dan Milano. Well, get ready to dust off that monkey's paw, because in a true case of "be careful what you wish for" they've been taken off the project and replaced with Hill, who's primary claim to fame is making cinematic masterpieces such as 'Garfield: A Tale of Two Kitties', 'Alvin and the Chipmunks', and the recent Easter Bunny film 'Hop'.
Dimension is still looking for a new screenwriter to tackle the script, but as one of the hottest properties they currently option, the studio is focusing on moving ahead with the series and bringing Johnny 5 to a whole new generation.

Oh dear. Please leave Johnny 5 alone. He's already been reincarnated in Wall-e (which I loved). I know how you can bring him to a new generation. Show the generation the old film. They seem to underestimate that people might actually go for originals instead of mostly inferior, pointless remakes blah blah.

Just leave Johnny5 alone.
If anythin we should have a movie about how he coped with becoming a US citizen: having to pay taxes, sendin the little Johnny5's to school, how he coped with the millenium bug, up grade/medical bills

I welcome a reboot because I've been a fan of Short Circuit ever since I was a child. However...I swear if they mess this up, I'll be pissed. =_= They should have stronger people working on this film, not some idiot who did Alvin and the Chipmunks and Garfield!
Jonnhy 5 is doomed! DOOMED!
