Rory, 13, who plays Gibson's son in the sci-fi blockbuster Signs, sits down for lunch at a fancy Manhattan restaurant and promptly chugs a can of Red Bull energy drink.

Billy Joel's oeuvre has been matched to Twyla Tharp's choreography in Movin' Out, which is prepping in Chicago for a Broadway opening this fall. There's a Beach Boys musical in the works and another one on the Doors, and even...
...sensors, while Sanyo is working to commercialize a remote-controlled guard dog equipped with a digital camera and mobile phone. Sony has taken a slightly different approach. While Honda researchers pursue the holy grail of the film Bicentennial Man?a mechanized butler?Sony's vision is closer to the sci-fi movie A.I., which features a boy-bot that offers unconditional robot lovin'. The company has sold more than 100,000 of its toylike AIBOs since the robo-dog was introduced three years ago, at an average price of $1,500 each. "I see robots in consumers' homes as their...
