Remember that cool short film, Archetype? If you don’t then go watch it here.
Directed by Aaron Sims it was an amazing piece of work on a very low budget and left me wanting more.
RL7 is an eight-foot tall combat robot that goes on the run after malfunctioning with vivid memories of once being human. As its creators and the military close in, RL7 battles its way to uncovering the shocking truth behind its mysterious visions and past.
The good news is we will be seeing more as it is going to be turned into a feature length movie.
THR had the news.
John Davis, riding high off of the surprise success of the super-powered found-footage movie Chronicle, is going back to the world of robots.
The producer, who has a first-look deal at Fox and who produced 2004’s I, Robot, has picked up the rights to Archetype, a sci-fi short directed by Aaron Sims, with plans on developing it into a feature. David dipped into his discretionary fund in order to make the acquisition.
Sims will direct and Guy Busick and Ryan Murphy are writing the script.
Great news and I will be looking forward to seeing the full film.
The question is will this film effect the Robocop reboot?
