From what I know of Ellison, he will be soooooooo pissed off. Trouble is sure to follow, 'coz he knows how to brew up a storm. I hope Boing Boing will keep us posted on Ellison's vendetta, as I'm sure heads will roll... Edited 12-05-2002 10:09 AM

Thanks, Roadnight, for pointing out _Caves of Steel_, because that is what the treatment sounds like. There was no conspiracy behind a seemingly robot-commited murder in _I, Robot_, but that is the entire plot of _Caves_!

Yes, it's a damn shame Ellison is so hard to work with because the thing is going to be a complete and utter travesty without his screenplay. Will Smith?!?!?? What, and Halle' Berry as Susan Calvin? Gaahhh!! If it's going to be more "Caves of Steel" like, they should also sign one of the Wayans brothers to be Daneel, call it "'Bots in the hood " and be done with it. Edited 12-04-2002 09:14 PM

Ellison's script was a fine work, but it wasn't Asimov in any way. And what director and producer would be insane enough to want to work with Ellison?

"Dark City" was a terrific movie, a fine combination of film noir and comic-book sensibility, exquisitely directed and art-directed both. Proyas could have made a great movie from Harlan Ellison's script -- too bad he won't be using it.

Argh! Harlan Ellison did an excellent script treatment for 'I, Robot' that combined the best elements of Asimov's cold intellectualism and Ellison's fiery passion. A pity they're using a different script.

Yes, _I, Robot_ was a collection of short stories, many (but not all) of which focused on pioneering roboticist Dr. Susan ???? (argh, wetware memory going, switch to Google... Susan Calvin). Asimov wrote a number of "robot" novels set in the same universe, most (all?) of which were detective stories starring human dectective Lije Bailey and his (robot) partner R. Daneel Olivaw. _The Caves of Steel_ and _The Naked Sun_ are the two I recall, but I think there was at least one other.

Wasn't I Robot a short story collection? The common element was some cold-bitch robopsychologist?

Argh. Well, maybe it will make people read the books.
Um, unless they hire Allen Dean Foster to make a novelization of the movie.

They'll butcher it. Will Smith IS a robot. Sounds like MIB3 to me.

I really hope that this is well done, as _The Caves of Steel_ and _The Naked Sun_ are some of my favorite books, but, judging from the director's former movies, it doesn't look like it will turn out very good at all. :(
