Due to the fact that no-one has any original ideas any more, Hollywood, in its infinite wisdom, has seen fit the need to revitalise the Short Circuit franchise.
But here's what I don't understand... Short Circuit 1 and 2 were perfect films. There was actually nothing wrong with either of those movies (unless you count Johnny 5 returning as a gold robot at the end of 2, which was entirely wrong, but cool in the 80's).
Also, both the films are available on DVD, and were made in colour... so what, I ask, is the need to remake these films?

Any remake will NEVER be as good, due to the fact that it won't star Ally Sheedy, Steve Guttenberg, or Fisher Stevens (the best ever white-man-to-play-an-Indian-man in the world).
I dread to think what third rate "comedy" actors they'll bring on board for this... not to mention what kind of (undoubtedly) horrid CGI robot they'll replace the original Johnny 5 with.

The worst thing about all this news? The film is to be directed by Tim Hill, the "genius" who brought you Alvin and the Chipmunks, and Hop. Cinema is officially dead. Thank you Hollywood.
