Here is another movie being remade, the last time I had even heard that they were considering making this one was back in December of 2006 (Short Circuit Remake?). I honestly feel like they are ruining my childhood with every freaking remake that they put into production.

Milano Pens “Short Circuit” Remake
By Garth Franklin Thursday June 4th 2009 06:39AMDan Milano (“Greg the Bunny,” “Robot Chicken”) is set to script a remake of the 1986 family classic “Short Circuit” for Dimension Films says Variety.
The original followed an armed robot that acquired a personality after a lightning strike, and sought the help of humans to prevent its destruction by its makers in the military.
Milano plans to contemporize the story and bring a subversive edge to the original film scripted by S.S. Wilson and Brent Maddock. David Foster, Ryan E. Heppe and John Hyde will produce.
I love how you’ve already written about this movie!
