    I-Robot, NS-5, 3 laws safe... Given these hints, I think it must actually be an advert for a film based on one of Asimov's books. Niall.

      It seems it is a film loosely based on one of the short stories. Link.

        I believe that a film called I, Robot is being made, loosely based on the Asimov short stories collected under the same name. I don't know what aspects of the stories they're using. Let's just hope Robin Williams is nowhere to be seen :-) Stuart Dootson 'Java, Basic, who cares - it's all a bunch of tree-hugging hippy cr*p'

          this kind of teaser reminds me of the teaser for the new Resident Evil movie, the first few seconds looks like a cosmetic ad. Resident Evil : Apocalypse[^] and the robot look of iRobot reminds me of the robot in the Bjork video "All is full of live"

              No, but there was an ad for a Teletubbies event at the Multiplex Chain. Which makes me hoe for artificial intelligence.

                From what I've heard Robin hasn't got anything to do with this one....but Will Smith does. I'm not sure if that is any better. Mark Conger Sonork:100.28396

                    NS-5 and 2 laws safe did not mean anything to me. I thought it was a movie when I was there but after going to their web site I did not know. Was thinking the maybe it was going to be an Asimo type mass production unit that you could make dance like the sony dog to fill in when you are tired ;) Rocky <>< www.HintsAndTips.com
