The director of Paul Blart: Mall Cop Steve Carr has signed on to helm the upcoming remake of the film Short Circuit.

We’ve known that Dimension would remake Short Circuit, and we’ve known that Robot Chicken writer Dan Milano would be scripting. Now we’ve got a director: Steve Carr. Who? How about this: he’s the guy who directed Paul Blart: Mall Cop.

I haven’t seen Paul Blart: Mall Cop. It might be more funny than a lot of people would like to admit. (I doubt it, but trying to be fair here.) But knowing that I have no interest in seeing Paul Blart, I’m looking at Carr’s resume to get an idea of what to expect. Maybe Paul Blart wasn’t really his fault. Let’s see…we’ve got Next Friday to start with. Funny enough, not a bad start. Then…uh-oh. Dr. Doolittle 2. Daddy Day Care and the very aptly titled Are We Done Yet? Yikes. I’m glad I had no particular ties to this remake in the first place.

This is one of those movies that on one hand I feel should be left alone. But on the other hand I think it could be pretty interesting. All the modern technology of today integrated into the new version of this film and this character could make for some fresh entertainment. Unfortunately Steve Carr is behind some truly terrible films.
