Your own personal assistant is waiting. Will Smith?
UPDATE: Wait, it gets worse. It’s like they took three stories and mashed them together. From IMDB.
Set in a future Earth (2035 A.D.) where robots are common assistants and workers for their human owners, this is the story of “robotophobic” Chicago Police Detective Del Spooner’s (Smith) investigation into the murder of Dr. Miles Hogenmiller, who works at U.S. Robotics (run by Greenwood), in which a robot, Sonny (Tudyk), appears to be implicated, even though that would mean the robot had violated the Laws of Robotics, which is apparently impossible.
It’s sort of Caves of Steel, it’s sort of I, Robot, and it’s sort of nothing like anything Asimov ever wrote. So much for Peter Jackson’s example of sticking close to the intent of the writer.
Ahhhh I was wondering when the ranting against I Robot would start……never would have guessed it would have took you this long though.
Well, I saw the preview last Wednesday and Thursday, but then I forgot about it until Monday. And while the site is cool, they are going to do a Bicentennial Man to Caves of Steel. It’s sad.
