Number 5 / Johnny 5 Image from hexus |
Why am I writing about it? Because there is a very exciting news I happen to find while searching for the theme song of Johnny 5's first movie, Short Circuit, and that song is Bee Gee's More Than A Woman.
I grow to love this song mainly because of Johnny 5. Honestly, it is very hard to say how much I love this robot, what he did to make me love him so much. He is like a friend, who spent years with me while I watched and rewatched his movies, then I also used my LEGO to make a toy of him and brought him with me anywhere I went. At that time, LEGO already had enough small parts for me to make one very similar to him.

The sequel talks about Number 5, now called Johnny 5 as he gave himself a name, went to New York to spend time with his military group old friend Ben. Since Johnny 5 used to live in the village and this was the first time to visit the city, he found many things very new, and he made some bad friends who cheated him in committing crimes. These bad friends later turned ugly and wanted to destroy Johnny 5 as well, and the story continued.
Okay, so, what is the very exciting news? Well, Wikipedia said this!!!!
"IMDb currently has the Short Circuit remake listed as a 2011 release. According to the page, the set storyline is described as being an updated re-imagining of the classic John Badham film where Number 5, one of a group of experimental military robots, undergoes a sudden transformation after being struck by lightning. He develops self-awareness, consciousness, and a fear of the reprogramming that awaits him back at the factory. With the help of a troubled young boy, Number 5 tries to evade capture and convince his creator that he has truly become alive. There is currently no cast information, only a confirmation that Steve Carr will be directing."
That reminds me that I should get the DVDs! If not, I will download them again! Cos my VHS tapes are super moulded!
