From Blart To A Bot

Paul Blart: Mall Cop helmer Steve Carr has signed on the dotted line to direct the robot roboot of Short Circuit according to Variety.



In the original 1986 sci-fi flick , a robot called Johnny 5 was built by the military to be a highly sophisticated weapon. When Johnny 5 is struck by lightning, he develops a conscience and personality. Steve Guttenberg Fisher Stevens and Ally Sheedy starred in that pic.

The update is written by Dan Milano (”Robot Chicken”) and will see Johnny 5 befriend a lonely boy and his fractured family.

Sure it's not meant to set the cinematic world a-fire....But my reaction so far to this idea is "Meh"
