I wonder if this new I,Robot movie is anyway related to the book by ISAAC ASIMOV of the same name?
I saw the preview last night. Looks pretty good

*Yes, Robert; the movie is based on the book (though I wonder how true to the book it'll be -- you know how that goes). I've not read the book (which is over 50 years old now).
We might go see it. Will Smith is an excellent actor, always bringing added dimensions to the characters he portrays -- a good choice for the lead, IMO. He's also, incidentally, the only rapper I've ever heard that actually makes the music enjoyable to listen to. :laugh:

I have read a lot of Isaac’s work, but I never read I.Robot. In his Foundation series he refers to the Robot code, which I believe he established in I,Robot.
Will is a great actor. I love his stuff. I usually hate Rap (I am very open minded about most music) but his Rap is okay.

Read I, Robot, and 90% of the innumeral robot-stories... and the 'film that was never made' scenario (an older scenario blending all the robot stories toghether, great stuff.)
Saw the trailer... And it won't be the original "I, Robot" at all. Not for the purists, I'm afraid. Happily I'm not a purist.
I, Robot will be *very* loosely based upon the original, expect a modern Hollywood action-flick, not a slow movie with lots of dialogue, puzzlement about why a certain robot behaves like it doesn't obey the 3 rules (wich are changed in the film, and *that* i take issue with, this is lame, IMO..) etc.
