Mr. Roboto

Michael Dougherty (pictured) who co-wrote Superman Returns, X2, and directed the forthcoming horror flick Trick 'r Treat, already has another reason to keep the big chair warm--according to Variety:



He is set to call the shots on the motion capture enhanced flick-Calling All Robots.

Dougherty– will also write the script with Breehn Burns and Simeon Wilkins, which they conceived together.

Robert Zemeckis Steve Starkey and Jack Rapke will produce the film.

Plot details are sketchy but Dougherty tells the trade

"I grew up watching Godzilla movies. This film is very much rooted in those movies".

The same techniques used in Beowulf will fuel "All Robots"
