Quote
The film is billed as "suggested by Isaac Asimov's book", meaning that it incorporates some elements of the robot stories that appeared in Asimov's 1950 short story collection. The film started as a screenplay titled "Hardwired" by screenwriter Jeff Vintar. Then, with the permission of Asimov's estate, the title was changed and the story modified to use some characters and plot elements from Asimov's stories. The final product clearly contains some of Asimov's ideas, but a story that belongs to Vintar and fellow screenwriter Akiva Goldsman.


Auf der gleichen Seite gibt es auch einen kleinen Überblick darüber, was in Film und Büchern übereinstimmt.

Ganz allgemein ist es ja genau der Unterschied, den Du erwähnt hast, Alrik, der den Film überhaupt trägt, auch wenn es natürlich auf den ersten Blick sehr stark gegen Asimovsche Vorgaben verstößt.
