Will Smith Will Star
Posted by ICv2 on March 8, 2003 @ 11:00 pm CT

Isaac Asimov's classic I, Robot stories are headed for the screen in a big budget film version from Twentieth Century Fox that is set to start shooting in May. Will Smith will star as a detective investigating a crime that may have been committed by a robot. Alan Tudyk (A Knight's Tale, Firefly) will have the thankless task of providing the 'animation reference' for the computer-generated robot, Sonny in much the same manner that Andy Serkis did for the CGI character Gollum in Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. If everything goes as planned, I, Robot could be a tentpole for Fox's summer 2004 campaign.
