“More Input!! More Input!!’ ROBOT CHICKEN Writer To Script Dimension’s SHORT CIRCUIT Remake!!

I am – Hercules!!




Dimension Films has hired “Greg The Bunny”/“Robert Chicken” writer-performer Dan Milano to script a remake of 1986’s robot action comedy “Short Circuit.”

I seem to remember liking the Steve Guttenberg/Ally Sheedy version of “Short Circuit,” but a look at the trailer has me second-guessing myself.


As for Milano, I’m not sure his TV work convinces me he’s ready for the leap to the big screen.


One wonders what Johnny Five will look like in the CGI era!
