I, Robot (film): Difference between revisions

* [[Ink Suit Actor]]: Alan Tudyk as Sonny, as it's said the effect team used the same process that was used with Andy Serkis when he played Gollum from ''[[The Lord of the Rings (Film)|The Lord of the Rings]]''.

* [[In Name Only]]: The movie has several passing similarities to the namesake series (it does prominently feature robots being [[Three Laws Compliant]]), but the actual storyline is nothing like the original. However, that book was an anthology of ''nine'' separate stories in a common universe, mostly revolving around the central character Susan Calvin. The film features many of the concepts of that universe. The conceit of the film is that it's a loose prequel to those stories, a new tale in the overall series of stories whose blanket title is ''I, Robot''.

** It does take inspiration from different Isaac Asimov stories, including one called "Robot Dreams." One of the Asimov short stories, "The Evitable Conflict," featured {{spoiler|massive, central robot minds taking over the planet because they could run it better than us. While that story was more subtle (the robots took over without humans even knowing it, versus the [[Robot War]] of this film), VIKI's motivations are close to what Asimov wrote.}} Spooner himself bears resemblance to the protagonist of Asimov's Robot series, Elijah Baley, who is a New York detective who overcomes his distrust of robots when he is forced to work with a robot partner. The similarities end there, however.
