tags tags: remake  family  dimension films  bob weinstein  action  sci-fi  

Dimension Films has acquired remake rights to the 1986 sci-fi comedy film Short Circuit, about Number 5, a military robot that develops a conscience and personality after being hit by lightning, Daily Variety reported.

S.S. Wilson and Brent Maddock, who created the characters and wrote both Short Circuit films, have been hired to write the remake. David Foster and Ryan E. Heppe will produce with John Hyde.

The deal was made by Dimension co-chairman Bob Weinstein, who called Short Circuit a worthy addition to its family film slate.
