      it was a completely unrelated screenplay which was basically a murder mystery with androids. sounds like it was a really cool idea, and there weren't a lot of murder mysteries in the oughts. iirc, Fox bought it, and was like, "hmmmm, we also have the license to Isaac Asimov works." then smushed them together and ramped up the action once Will Smith got attached.
