Waaaaaaaaah
Waaaaaaaah, it’s true, the robots ARE really coming. Of course, Will Smith’s I, Robot was the first, but heading for Earth this year too is Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow (Jude Law, Gwyneth Paltrow, Angelina Jolie) (which will fail, by the way, judging from the trailer). After that, in 2005, we have Robots (CGI animatied, voiced by Ewan McGregor, Halle Berry). Robots were also already seen in Star Wars, so Episode III should have loads of’m too. A smaller role for a robot will be in The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. Not really a robot is Iron Man, but he sure as hell looks like one.
Then there’s a robot movie that may never roll to the theatres (high probability for direct-to-video) called Chrome. Which comes from low budget company Pendragon Pictures which incidentally goes bigger budget with Dreamworks Pictures to develop War of the Worlds with Spielberg/Cruise. And last but not least, it’s the Dreamworks/Spielberg combo that bought the rights for a new Transformers movie, and these can disguise themselves as cars, trucks and airjets ! Scared yet ?
