I am not making it up; the project was started in the early 2000s by 20th Century Fox. The good news: they hired
Elizabeth helmer Shakhar Kapur to direct. The bad news: they hired Jeff Vintar (author of the original script that became the Will Smith I Robot movie) to write. Recent news on the project is thin on the ground, and at present it seems to be stuck in development hell.
