Steven Spielberg's 'Robopocalypse' Coming in 2013

Steven Spielberg RobopocalypseSteven Spielberg was so fascinated with World War II, he decided to make two movies about it. The same, apparently, goes for for robots.

On Friday, DreamWorks Studios announced that the famed 'A.I.: Artificial Intelligence' director will begin shooting a new robot movie in January 2012. The film, which is slated to make its theater debut in 2013, is reportedly based on Daniel H. Wilson's novel 'Robopocalypse.' According to USA Today, the book's narrative centers around a group of humans struggling for survival in a futuristic, robo-dominated world.

No one's really sure, of course, because the book hasn't been released to the public yet. It will, however, hit bookshelves in 2011, which is the same year that Spielberg's next film hits theaters. It's called 'War Horse,' and it's about World War I. Old habits, apparently, die hard.
