Horror fans are floating a remake of Stephen King's 1986 film Maximum Overdrive, suggesting artificial intelligence replace the comet as the trigger for machines turning on humans. The idea is being shared as a timely twist, given current anxieties and debates around AI. The original film famously featured possessed trucks and machines rampaging after a passing comet.
