Hey kids, remember how uncool I, Robot was? Remember how I cried for days (weeks!) when they announced it was being made with Will Smith?

Guess what? They’re making another Asimov novel into a movie.

This blog’s namesake: The Caves of Steel. (Wiki page has some spoilers)

Oh. Hell no! Noooooo!!! nonononono!!!

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, The Help and Sherlock Holmes. So no worries, right?

Whew. Okay I’m breathing again. Not dizzy. Let’s check who’s adapting the screenplay.

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

Uh. Nothing? Not even a blog? Does he Tweet?

Arrgh! Nooo!!!

Wait… who is producing?

The guy who did X-Men First Class? Jesus. Now I don’t know what to think!

This sounds like it has the potential to be a heaping rolling ball of crap. Or awesome. Gonna hold comment for now.
