HOLLYWOOD (Zap2it.com) - James Cromwell ("The Sum of All Fears") and Bruce Greenwood ("Hollywood Homicide") have joined the cast of Alex Proyas' sci-fi movie "I, Robot" for 20th Century Fox. The film is based on a story collection by Isaac Asimov.

The story centers on robot-phobic Detective Spooner (Will Smith) who is investigating a murder that seemingly violates the Laws of Robotics, which state that robots may not allow a human to come to harm. The film also stars Bridget Moynihan and Chi McBride.

Cromwell will play Dr. Lanning, the eccentric creator of the most advanced robot ever built, while Greenwood plays Lance Robertson, a top executive who tries to impede the murder investigation, reports Variety.

Cromwell, who is currently starring in the television series "Six Feet Under," will be seen next in Mel Smith's "Blackball" with Paul Kaye.

Canadian-born Greenwood will be appearing John Handerson's "The Water Giant" opposite Daniel Magder, and Deepa Mehta's "The Republic of Love" with Emilia Fox.

Production on "I, Robot" has begun in Vancouver.
