Will Smith as I, Robot

Posted by Hemos on from the gettin'-jiggy-wit'-the-'bot dept.

BuR4N writes "It looks like Asimov's sci-fi classic, I Robot, is going to be a movie. Shooting starts April next year staring Will Smith and directed by Alex Proyas (Dark City and The Crow). Being a huge Asimov fan I have not made up my mind if this is a good or bad thing. "

    Bliss? That sounds like an orgasmic name. Is your daughter going to grow up to be a pornstar?

    will fuck up a decent book portrayed in film. Some foolish asswipe thinks MIB translates into money for I Robot. Jive rapping numbnutz. This character NEVER appeared in any Asimov book. Why inject it now?
    Much like the two attempts to render Dune, by Herbert on the screen, it will be pathetic. Will really ought to get back to his roots and leave the Science Fiction alone. BTW, the SciFi Channel is lame. You people would not know decent ScfFi if it bit you on your ass. Read Bester. Get educated.

    First it was Robin Williams. Then it was Will Smith.
    I guess it is just a matter of time before BOZO the clown plays R. Daneel Olivaw.
