Noel Clarke has revealed that he would love to make a sequel to Will Smith's science fiction blockbuster I, Robot.

Talking to Digital Spy, the BAFTA-winning Adulthood director said that he is intrigued by the prospect of expanding on Alex Proyas's 2004 film.



He said: "Weirdly I was thinking about [remakes] yesterday. There's loads of things that I'd love to do, but a film that I really liked that I think is really underrated - apart from the last 10 minutes, which isn't great - is I, Robot.

"I'd love to do an I, Robot 2. You can't really remake the first because it's not that old, but I'd love to do I, Robot 2 or do something in that world and play Will Smith's better-looking, younger brother."

I, Robot is based on Isaac Asimov's short story collection about the moral implications for humans living in a world inhabited by robots.

The film grossed more than $340 million at the worldwide box office, and Battlestar Galactica writer Ronald Moore was commissioned to write an as-yet-unproduced sequel.

Clarke's Storage 24, about a group of people who come under attack from an extraterrestrial, releases in UK cinemas on June 29.
