Dimension Films is rewiring "Short Circuit," acquiring rights to remake the 1986 film.

The original introduced Number 5, a robot built by the military to be a highly sophisticated weapon. It developed a conscience and a personality after being hit by lightning, and then needed the help of humans after it was targeted for destruction by its makers, once it became a peacenik.

S.S. Wilson and Brent Maddock, who created the characters and wrote both "Short Circuit" films, have been hired to write the remake. David Foster and Ryan E. Heppe will produce with John Hyde.

Deal was made by Dimension co-chairman Bob Weinstein, who called "Short Circuit" a worthy addition to its family film slate.

Foster, who produced the original with his partner Lawrence Turman and son Gary Foster, said the film will be similar in theme to the original, but it will factor in advances in technology.

OMG, I totally forgot to post about this when I had read it in last Friday's EW.

I'm actually kinda upset that they want to remake this. I loved the robot in the original films.

Yeah the original was cute and I doubt they can recapture that without it being some corny cgi mess.

Does anybody remember the 2nd one? I haven't seen it since I was a kid, so I don't remember a thing about it.

The first one I actually watched a year or two ago on one of the movie channels

I remember it, when he went to the big city and was being tricked to dig into the bank vault. It was a decent movie but not as good as the original.
