Yes, I do recall seeing Asimov's name in the credits.. and I thought it was a great movie also.

Yes, like Kaka's latest post on Yahoo!, messages.yahoo.com I too spent my youth (right up to last week) reading science fiction, including all of Heinlein, Asimov, Clark, Niven, Pournelle, etc. I really love the Honor Harrington series of 8 books by David Weber. If you like scifi and you haven't read those, you better get to the book store. It is the most in depth creation of a universe yet, IMO (although the Kzin universe is pretty well defined too <g>) The original three laws of robotics - circa 1940 First Law: A robot may not injure a human being, or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. Second Law: A robot must obey orders given it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. Third Law: A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law. Subsequently he added a higher (zeroeth law): Law Zero A robot may not injure humanity, or, through inaction, allow humanity to come to harm. And a modifier to the lower laws was added to make them all subservient to the zeroeth law. Suggested follow up reading anu.edu.au enjoy! (It IS the week end, right?)
