I ROBOT Trailer!!

This trailer does not look as bad as the last one. It still looks a little predictable, but definitely a major improvement.
Anyone want to bet that the robot charged with murder ends up helping Will Smith fight all the other robots?

Doesn't look too bad. This movie is pretty much looking like a good popcorn flick. It seems a bit more serious and at least there don't seem to be the typical Will Smith corny jokes. The first trailer was awful compared to this one.

That being said, I don't care. I'll go see it. (I have not read the books, I could never get past the first chapter of an Asimov book... perhaps it is time to try again.)

Well I just saw the new trailer too, and it has potential.
And I feel kinda bad that Proyas kinda ripped off Cunningham. And he didn't do a good job copying Cunningham either. The robot who is by himself looks kind of annoying, (I say looks because my sound card isn't working) and I'm not sure if I want to spend the whole movie watching it. At least Proyas does not seem to be repeating himself, and seems to be able to keep up with the times, which is a great feat in itself. Anyway, will wait for further stuff on the film as the buzz grows.

1. A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2. A robot must obey orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
These laws are hardwired into the very design of the positronic brains, along with definitions of humans. Also, if these laws were removed or modified, there are standard tests that could determine that fact in very short order.
The owner could order till he was blue in the face, and a robot still couldn't harm a human.
Also, the robots couldn't be trying to protect themselves, because that would conflict with the first and second laws. A human could order a robot to dance on a minefield, and the robot would obey.
The reason there were various crimes in the Asimov books are because of various things, including human error. For instance, one of the stories had a robot without the inaction clause of the first law, since there were problems with robots trying to stop humans from engaging in dangerous activities (such as constructing a space station.)
Other stories, usually with experimental robots, had insufficient definitions for humans, etc.

On a related note, we have an exclusive featurette from the film that features the director discussing I, Robot. It also shows never-before-seen footage from the movie.

I like how at the end of the new trailer, when the title comes in, it reads I, RIOT... the O and B are sideways, making an I.
I'm still on the fence about the show.

I want to be positive on about this. I like the look, and this trailer shows some Smith besides the usual wisecracking bit. The Rules do appear to be being broken, but surely they wouldn't just totally throw them out for the sake of the movie? Maybe they found a loophole? Hollywood is filled with lawyers, I wouldn't put it past them

I'm still not sure about this one...but I'll definately see it as I think this could go either way.

And the new trailers...the ones taht resemble the internet trailer on mysteryclock.com and teh tv spots...are much better. Tonally much more serious, no Will Smith wisecracks.
