What the fuck is wrong with movie execs.
PacoSees:
Having never seen this movie, it sounds a lot like the Iron Giant.
And yeah, every other robot-related movie I've seen in the past ten or so years.
0bsessions:
Short Circuit was nothing like the Iron Giant.
The Iron Giant was good.
valley_parade:
I went to the premier of Iron Giant.
Why they held it in North Adams, I'm not sure.
(actually I think an animation company in town did a bunch of work on it)

Close: They see an old film that people are/will be nostalgiac about, the dollar sign flashes in their eyes, and they create a remake to get even richer.
The same applies for tv shows -> movies (ie: Transformers, Speed Racer) and the now-passing superhero trend (Spiderman 1-3, The Hulk, The Punisher, Fantastic Four+sequel, Superman, Batman, and that even ****ier stain that was The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen).
Where there is nostalgia, there is money.

Ya know, I had a dream last week where I was on my computer and read an article about how someone dropped a quarter off a building and it hit and killed the lead singer of the Donnas. It's pretty rare that I can remember one of my dreams, so I was rather delighted by how completely inexplicable it was.
