[Update: Click here to view the WALL-E Trailer] – Over the years we’ve seen a bundle of robot films, from the adaptation of Isaac Asimov’s I, Robot, the Terminator series, and the forgettable Short Circuit films. An upcoming film about a robot uprising (starring Shrek-star Mike Meyers) is also in the works.
One of the most promising new films may be WALL-E, a new Pixar animated film slated for release in June 2008. TIME Magazine drops a few hints about the flick in its June 18th issue that presents this summary: “The year is 2700. WALL• E, a robot, spends every day doing what he was made for. But soon, he will discover what he was meant for.”
This sounds a bit like the “exploited robot seeks freedom” storyline we’ve seen elsewhere, but you have to admit that Pixar’s track record is phenomenal. Mark your calendars, as this one will likely be worth a trip to the local super-uber-megaplex to see on the big screen. (Source: TIME Magazine, /FILM) – [Jeff James]
