I, Robot (The Outer Limits) -vs- I, Robot (Will Smith)

Rating: 10/10 (2 May 2006)

I thought that this movie was great. It was well acted and had a lot of action.
But more than a comment, I actually have a question. Does anybody know if this movie was based on an old episode from 'The Outer Limits', from the late 1950's/early 1960's? Because there was an episode on that show called 'I, Robot' and it was about a scientist who builds a robot, he is then murdered, and the robot is blamed for his murder. The robot somehow has obtained human like qualities. the robot is caught and is going to be destroyed. But humans try to get a trial for the robot, One of whom is the niece of the scientist.
