Hollywood’s Remake Craze ‘Short Circuit’s
Another ’80s hit-movie is getting a makeover, or rather an up-grade, as Short Circuit gets re-invented.
According to Moviehole.net, the 1986 original comedy/sci-fi which starred Steve Guttenberg and Ally Sheedy as two people each trying to do what they think is best for an experimental robot named No. 5, after a power surge brings it to life.
The movie’s box-office appeal sparked a follow up film in 1988, however to less enthusiasm, leaving plans for another Circuit chapter about No. 5 left in development limbo, that is until filmmakers realized they could rebuild him.
While casting is yet to be confirmed, rumors have surfaced that some of the film’s original stars might return to see the lovable robot come to life again.
