<\/a>Hey kids, remember how uncool I, Robot<\/em> was? Remember how I cried for days<\/a> (weeks!) when they announced it was being made with Will Smith?<\/p>\n

Guess what? They’re making another Asimov novel into a movie.<\/p>\n

This blog’s namesake: The Caves of Steel.<\/a> (Wiki page has some spoilers)<\/p>\n

Oh. Hell no! Noooooo!!! nonononono!!!<\/p>\n

Okay I won’t freak out. I won’t curl up into a ball and start crying as Hollywood rapes my childhood. I’ll stay calm because the rookie director may actually make this look good. He’s worked on a couple video game commercials and art direction for Rango<\/em>, The Help<\/em> and Sherlock Holmes. <\/em>So no worries, right?<\/p>\n

Whew. Okay I’m breathing again. Not dizzy. Let’s check who’s adapting the screenplay.<\/p>\n

Some dude named John Scott 3 – not “the third”? Just “three”? Hokaaay… I guess he fancies himself a bit of a Neuromancer<\/a> character or something. Off to IMDB and lets see what he’s done so… far… <\/a><\/p>\n

Uh. Nothing? Not even a blog? Does he Tweet?<\/p>\n

Arrgh! Nooo!!!<\/p>\n

Wait… who is producing?<\/p>\n

The guy who did X-Men First Class<\/em>? Jesus. Now I don’t know what<\/strong> to think!<\/p>\n

This sounds like it has the potential to be a heaping rolling ball of crap. Or awesome. Gonna hold comment for now.<\/p>\n
