Steve Carr, Paul Blart: Mall Cop director to reboot Short Circuit

Variety reported that Steve Carr is set to direct the reboot of Short Circuit, the lovable robot from the mid to late 80's. Carr directed the surprise hit Paul Blart: Mall Cop last year.

The news kind of cements what I had thought; they're going for the foo-foo family stuff with this reboot. Which is okay I suppose, I would have liked to have seen something a little different from the original, hence it being called a reboot, not a sequel. Oh well, it is what it is, and we'll give you more news as it comes up.
