Trust me when I say this – I am excited!

One of my favorite films of all time is thanks to a cheery little hunk of metal named Johnny 5. Even before it was considered cool to like this film, and before they made a second one, I loved that movie.

FilmStalker has cruised over to JoBlo who store some info from Moviehole, all to say that the directorial duties of this new film will be passed from John Badham to someone else who is yet to be named. There is one certainty that excites me, though – Tim Blaney, the man who voiced Number 5, will return. Come to think of it, if your claim to fame is playing the voice of a talking robot, why wouldn’t you return to do it again?

That’s like me not returning to play Danny Zuko in my high school’s remake of Grease. Not true, but you never know.
