ReMaKE: Short Circuit

by Irma Arkus

I had to pinch myself, and you will probably not believe it either, but Short Circuit, the story of Johnny 5, a self-aware robot who gains consciounsness and an endearing personality due to an accidental electrocution, is going to be remade.

Yup. JOHNNY 5 will be remade. Remade. Remade. Remade.

While the remake was something that the studios have been toying with since 2008, Dan Milano, known for his regular contribution to Robot Chicken, is tapped for writing the screenplay, according to Hollywood Reporter.

So, there you have it.

So so very very lame

After Wallee I’m not surprised. But still. Does this really warrant a remake? It was kind of a lame family film to begin with. I sure liked it whan I was a kid, but thats not a reason to do a remake.

I cannot believe that this 80s schmaltz is being remade. I hate Hollywood, and recently everything that came out of those studios turned into a pile of unwatchable turd. I hate them for tapping and commercializing our fond childhood memories by making more crap. I hate them, and I hope they fail miserably.
