Director Steve Carr (Paul Blart: Mall Cop) has been handed the keys to the Rob Riggle and Thomas Lennon comedy The Boondoggle. Details on the project are currently sparse, but we do know that it will feature Riggle and Lennon attending a giant waste of time dressed up as a business trip that happens to take place on an island. Deadline reports that the pic is scheduled to begin shooting later this summer. The Boondoggle was penned by Christopher Halvorson and underwent rewrites by Riggle and Lennon. In addition to The Boondoggle, Riggle can also be seen alongside Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts in Larry Crowne and is currently shooting 21 Jump Street with Johnny Depp, Jonah Hill, and Channing Tatum. As for Lennon, the man behind Reno 911! can be seen this weekend alongside Cameron Diaz, Jason Segel, and Justin Timberlake in Bad Teacher.

PAUL BLART Director Steve Carr Creates a SHORT CIRCUIT

While I’m nostalgic for the “Short Circuit” movies, that nostalgia doesn’t extend to getting bent out of shape over a remake of “Short Circuit” nor can my outrage be summoned by the news that “Paul Blart: Mall Cop” helmer Steve Carr will direct the film.  Variety reports that the Carr will shoot the film based on Dan Milano’s script which brings Johnny 5 into the 21^st century meaning he’ll probably still resemble Johnny 5 but there will be loads of unnecessary CG enhancements and “upgrades” to Johnny’s arsenal.  However, I’ll retract that statement if one of those upgrades is a detachable Steve Guttenberg.

Here’s how Variety describes the plot of the remake: “Built by the military to be a highly sophisticated weapon, Johnny 5 develops a conscience and personality after being hit by lightning. He befriends a lonely boy and his fractured family.”  Wow.  That sounds like a great movie.
