I have a feeling the Short Circuit remake will be more Mac & C.H.E.E.S.E.

Glad someone got it.

I got it, its a friends reference.

It's aliiiveeeee!!! ALIVE!!!!!!!

At least it's being remade by the same people as the first one.

Plus maybe they can make a sequel that doesn't completely suck.

I keep forgetting there was a sequel.

I wouldn't mind a combination of CGI and an actual robot. That seems to be the closest we can hope to get.

I see no reason at all to use CGI for something as simple as a robot that we can just build and control. There's nothing about Johnny 5 they cannnot do practicaly and would require CGI.

robot design

Agreed. If they had the technology back in 1985 they surely have it today. Not sure if we'll get tank-style treads or wheels though...
Military-esque design would probably have the treads.
It probably wouldn't be so boxy though as far as the head and would probably have something like the Bjork-style robot for the top

I'll give it a chance, although it would be hard to top the original.
