"Wednesday, December 4, 2002 Posted: 9:32 AM EST (1432 GMT)

NEW YORK (Reuters) -- Fox has
booked Will Smith to star in sci-fier
"I, Robot," an adaptation of the
1940s Isaac Asimov short-story
collection that set the groundwork
for robot films ranging from "The
Terminator" to "A.I.," Variety
reports.

Shooting is to begin in April. Alex Proyas,
whose last large-canvas projects were
"Dark City" and "The Crow," will direct the
film."

Proyas directing gives me hope; "Dark City" was a really good flick.
