Notably: http://www.corona.bc.ca/films/details/hardwired.html As I said in an e-mail this morning: I'm not sure what the script is going to be, but if I booked the job, at the very least we geeks would have someone on the inside! :) Oh, and this is my first bb post. Hi.

I know a lot of folks out there must be Asimov fans, so I thought you might want to know, a film called "I, Robot" is being made. But according to the news, it's NOT the Ellison treatment, and it's not the Asimov story, even adapted. The studio just bought the rights to the name. The film, then called "Hardwired", apparently started out as yet another ho-hum robots-trying-to-take-over-the-world film. No big deal there. One more piece of screenplay-by-committee out of Hollywood isn't news. </q>
