A while back we heard The Powers That Be were working to bring Number 5 back to theater screens. Now we know the director who'll help get him there: Steve Carr (PAUL BLART: MALL COP).
Scripted by Dan Milano ("Robot Chicken"), the remake is a robot reboot that brings the iconic Johnny 5 into the 21st century. Built by the military to be a highly sophisticated weapon, Johnny 5 develops a conscience and personality after being hit by lightning. He befriends a lonely boy and his fractured family.
[EDIT]
"Short Circuit" fits into Dimension's priority of making franchise films, a list that includes "Scream 4," "Spy Kids 4," "Clive Barker's Hellraiser," "Scanners" and "An American Werewolf in London." The "Spy Kids" and "Hellraiser" films will be 3-D.

Back in 1986, the original SHORT CIRCUIT film was directed by John Badham (WARGAMES, SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER).
