Short Circuit to be Possibly Rebooted

[InformationGeek]

Let's take a break from all the superhero movies (didn't realize how many people were costume divas around here) and turn our attention to a truly huge problem for us to get angry with.  Short Circuit is to be rebooted like mentioned above.  Now I take a neutral stance with almost any movie, holding my judgement until the movie arrives, with exception of those parody movies (Screw them).  However, the annoucement of who got to direct it is Tim Hill has sent warning flags up.  He directed the recent Chimpmunk and Garfield movies and we know how much you all love those films.   

Here's the story:

Maybe in this version, Johnny 5 will be a jive-talkin' Killbot, like the ones in "Chopping Mall." That'd be pretty cool.

Otherwise... I think I'll pass.

I'll pass, just like I've passed on the last 3,872 Hollywood remakes/reboots/re-imaginings.
