However one of the trailers was for "I Robot". And I can honestly say I was so pissed I wanted to leave. They took the story and have turned it into a bad prequal for the Matrix. The Robots even resemble the machines from The Animatrix. 
I think this is one of those things that if you read the book, you won't be able to stand it, but if you haven't, it'll be a pretty good movie.

It actually looks like a good movie. But I will have to try to forget the name when I watch it.
Ah well, I'll try and enjoy it.

To be fair, it's almost impossible to translate Asimov to film, but it's still insulting.
I totally agree, and I REALLY REALLY hope they don't mess up "Ender's Game" even though Orson Scott Card is doing the screenplay and everything.

I'm with you on the hoping, but they're going to fuck it up. I don't think it CAN be done. Maybe in an 8 hour mini-series.
It'll be a cinematic abortion. I guaran-damn-tee it.

Somthor had this to say about (_|_):
ISSAC? the inventor of the comunications satilite?
No, the author credited with coming up/mentionning communications satilites first is Arthur C. Clarke, known for Clarke's Law about sufficiently advanced technology being indistinguishable from magic. (I believe Clarke's also the guy first creditted with coming up with the idea of Space Elevators among other things)
Isaac Asimov is another sci fi writer from Clarke's era who wrote this book and is probably most well known for coming up with the Three Laws of Robotics (which are supposedly a key facet of this movie).
I saw this preview in front of Hellboy today and ugh... just ugh.... Damn if they had tacked on an "inspired by" type thing it'd probably be a decent enough popcorn movie but to claim this is actually I Robot is just.... *shakes head*

I'll applaud them if they can just cast that many competant boy actors

Yeah, but who would be a good Ender? Very hard to find good child actors.

From the book of Mod, chapter 3, verse 16:
Apparently the guy that wrote the screenplay for it has a contract to make a Foundation movie as well. Picture it, Vin Diesel as Mecha-Seldon vs Dennis Rodman as mutant Bel Riose in an X-TREME bullet-time showdown over Trantor. Arcadia Darell will be made 10 years older to 'properly adapt' the material and be played by Avril Lawhatever in her cinema debut.
I am filled with hate.
DIESEL? As Seldon? What the...that...
*cries*
Although Dennis Rodman could be a pretty good clown-mutant, I guess.

It's like most historically-based movies. Forget everything you know about the subject, and have yourself a nice evening.
