SHORT CIRCUIT REMAKE BUT WHY NOT DIGBY THE BIGGEST DOG IN THE WORLD




SHORT CIRCUIT REMAKE BUT WHY NOT DIGBY THE BIGGEST DOG IN THE WORLD



Remakes in Hollywood today are a common as as sequels. Now I am not surprised there is a remake of the 1986 film "Short Circuit" coming. The original is very cute. The movie was not a huge hit however it did get the sequel treatment but the original cast (Ally Sheedy & Steve Guttenberg) were not in that and that movie "Short Circuit 2" was a box office bomb.



Now this got me to thinking why is it that nobody has thought of remaking "Dibgy The biggest Dog in the World"?



The original movie does have a minor following and the high concept is what Hollywood does today. In case you don't the story here it is "Digby consumes a bowl of Project X, a liquid growth formula. Soon, he becomes a sheepdog of gigantic size"!


The original doesn't hold up and the concept is worth exploring.
