Sometime ago there were rumors floating around that a short circuit movie was in the works. Well now their is a director on board to make this rumor a reality and that man is Steve Carr (PAUL BLART: MALL COP).
Robot Chicken writer Dan Milano has drawn up a script that will bring Johnny 5 into the 21st century. This is supposedly going to be a remake and not a 3rd installment of the series. Johnny 5 has been constructed by the military as a highly sophisticated weapon but after being struck by lightning, develops a conscience and personality and befriends a young boy and his broken family.
