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. "

    Besides of having doubts Will being the man for the job, I am quite afraid they will even spoil the original story. I mean that happens in a lot of (American) movies...

    Imagine the movie ending with a happy robot-man, robot-wife, two robot-kids (girl & boy), living in a big robot-house, surrounded by nice robot-flowers and a nive big and shiny robot-car... and a Will Smith song...

    OUCH.

    First Law:
    A robot may not get jiggy with a human being, or, through getting jiggy with it, allow a human being to come to harm.

    Second Law:
    A robot must get jiggy with it under orders given it by human beings, except where getting jiggy with it would conflict with the First Law.

    Third Law:
    A robot must protect its getting jiggy with it as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

    I think being a huge Asimov fan is always a good thing. Keep up the good work, chap!
