In the vein of classic '80s family movies SHORT CIRCUIT and FLIGHT OF THE NAVIGATOR , A.X.L. is a new adventure about a down-on-his luck teenage bike rider, Miles ( Alex Neustaedter ), who stumbles upon an advanced, robotic, military dog named A.X.L. Endowed with next-generation artificial intelligence but with the heart of a dog, A.X.L. forms an emotional bond with Miles, much to the chagrin of the rogue military scientists who created A.X.L. and would do anything to retrieve him. Knowing what is at stake if A.X.L. gets captured, Miles teams up with his smart, resourceful crush, Sara ( BeckyG ), to protect his new best friend on a timeless, epic adventure for the whole family.

It runs away and befriends a fractured family, the military in hot pursuit. Hill directed the Illumination pic Hop and Fox's Alvin and the Chipmunks . Dimension optioned the remake rights in 2009, originally signing Paul Blart: Mall Cop helmer Steve Carr and screenwriter Dan Milano.

Short Circuit Getting A Reboot. Johnny 5 is Alive! Another Child hood movie being remade. Is the first movie so bad? Well yes it was, but that's what makes it such a great movie. Didn't they already make a movie called "Wall-E" ? Johnny 5 is alive. Forget about it. I know you all remember this song. AH Memories- The movie is being written by Dan Milano from " Robot Chicken" so my guess it will be more adult friendly then you might have heard. Steve Carr , the director who gave us the Kevin James hit "Paul Blart: Mall Cop" has been hired by Dimension films to remake the 1986 sci-fi film, "Short Circuit." They're calling this a robot reboot and will bring Johnny 5 into the 21st century. If you remember, the film is about Number 5, one of a group of experimental military robots, who develops self-awareness after being struck by lightning. The original 1986 "Short Circuit" film starring Ally Sheedy and Steve Guttenberg was cute...
