I, Robot coming 07.16.04 |
Based upon the excellent book of stories by the late great Isaac Asimov and starring Will Smith: I, Robot is coming to theaters on Friday July 16 2004. The interesting thing — or maybe I should say disturbing thing — is that the Flash trailer has Will Smith talking about the three laws of robotics and yet the movie says something is going wrong in Robotville. Those who have read the stories know that there was a lot that could go wrong, but the robots did not violate the three laws of robotics:
1) A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2) A robot must obey orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3) A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
