    He also provided mocap. So it’s not like he just recorded the voice, he was the Robot I or whatever. That movie was entirely forgettable, but Tudyk was great in it.

      His name is Sonny and don’t you dare call it “forgettable.” It’s a silly somewhat schlocky action sci-fi film that also brings up some really good questions about free will and AI.

        Didn’t the book do that? I mean yeah the deserves some credit for not eliminating those elements, but I think more credit should go to the book for establishing those elements in the first place

          The book was a series of short stories that really have nothing to do with the plot of the movie.

          Yeah, Asimov pioneered a lot of the philosophy within the movie, but they weren’t just wrote recitations of them.

            Well, the movie is in the spirit of the book, which is basically inventing new ways to overcome the three rules of robotics. Turns out they’re often more of a guidance than a rule.

    not surprised he came out and said this right around the time, resident alien was cancelled, probably was afraid of not getting anymore work, or such a big show down the line, hes rightfully pissed it was robbed from him.

        yea, THE LAST episode of season 4 was a farewell for the alien leaving the planet. thats why it wasnt a coincidence that he said this about will and the cancellation. syfy was mulling over cancelling after season 4 for a while.

    Well Will Smith sucks and I cried when Wash died so no shit he tested higher. I’ll watch stuff I’m not interested if ol’ TwoDick is in it, he’s the fucking man.

    apparently will had “the rocks” personality, he wanted to be the LEAD and demanded it or he wont be in the film as a draw for crowds.
