Oh, I forgot to mention that I came across a website where a few blokes are rebuilding a Johnny five for real in their shed. They have a website called “input inc” or something like that. They got lots of videos of their work too.

Hmm. Why oh why another remake? If you are going to make a remake then remake a poor film not one that is great as it is. The original didn’t have much of a story, but they way in which it was directed and cast was magic. Why a remake? Let me guess, it is easier to remake it, sell the idea to the unknowing kiddies and bring out lots of robot merchandise. MONEY, quick easy money. You know what though, it will work. We’ll all take the kids to watch it even though we know that it will not be as good as the original.
Why not make a sequel? There is no end to the possibilities. I got an idea, how about making it a little darker. NOVA tries to recreate the electrical storm and makes a rampaging robot that johnny has to stop. We all love it when robots get mashed up.
Then they can make money on re-showing the original two movies in…..dare I say it, 3D or something.

[...] Funny how your perspective changes when you’re desperate and looking for work. I do feel for the guy though. As much as I’d love to see Steve Guttenberg back on top, I think he’s probably being a little too optimistic here. That Police Academy sequel might happen, but last we heard it would probably go direct to DVD. Keep on swingin’ Steve-o! Maybe there’s still a chance that they’ll let you have a cameo in the Short Circuit remake. [...]

the irony here is Disney will sue Dimension Films for copying the “wall-e” robot design….
