Ahh, Hollywood will mangle another good sci-fi book. If Wheaton had any sort of backbone, he would refuse this role...
If this is the same movie starring Will Smith, it should really be a stinker...
"The project originated as "Hardwired," a futuristic script by Jeff Vintar that was amalgamated with elements of "I, Robot" when Fox bought rights to Asimov's landmark book. Subsequent drafts of the script have been done by Hillary Seitz ("Insomnia") and Oscar-winning "A Beautiful Mind" scribe Akiva Goldsman, who wrote the last draft and is expected to be a prevailing presence on the picture"
Why couldn't they just use the scripts written by Harlan Ellison? I hear they are pretty good...
