R.U.R. (Rossum's Universal Robots) is an upcoming science fiction musical project written and directed by Alex Proyas.

The film follows a young woman, Helena, who arrives at the island factory of Rossum's Universal Robots. Helena plots to give the robots souls and emancipate them from capitalist exploitation, a decision that quickly leads to unintended destruction.

Proyas adapted the screenplay from the 1920 Czech play of the same name by Karel Čapek. The film stars Sammy Allsop, Lindsay Farris, Anthony LaPaglia, Mallory Jansen and Richard Roxburgh.
