Robocop Remake Confirmed

[DJBenz]

What a day! First we find out that Jon Favreau might not direct Iron Man 2 and now we find out that the RoboCop remake is confirmed! Actually, this isn't as bad as that earlier news, but it's still a bit painful. The rumors of a RoboCop remake first began in March, when MGM said that RoboCop was a franchise that they wanted to bring back. Considering RoboCop's screenwriter Ed Neumeier is completely clueless, it's likely MGM is getting this moving without the involvement of anyone from the original three films. And with that introduction, take a look at this banner from the floor of the Licensing International Expo 2008

That graphic looks pretty terrible.

[Alien Redrum]

I disagree, Blonde. I think the new Robocop is code named: Kitt.

THERE IS NO NEW ROBOCOP

[The Hitman]

It's a Cylon, shoot it!

[Neon Maniac]

It looks really 80's.

[Lokus]

Wasn't this confirmed a long time ago with Darren Aronofsky directing?

Even I have to admit I am sort of getting tired with all the remakes. I mean hell, ROBOCOP is just a little over 20 years old, and doesn't seem nearly as dated as some other films that probably should be remade.

However, that poster, looks goofy, and granted it is concept art, by... I dunno, looks dumb

I guess the next question is, who is going to play RoboCop (Murphy) or Ann Lewis.

Plus, the great thing about Robo was the over the top screenplay and setting for the film. I just see another stylized hollywood turd because quite frankly, no one will ever capture the magic from the first film. it was just too much fun, and even after 20+ years can still be viewed and enjoyed.

[The Hitman]

Someone's disappointed they didn't green-light RippleCop.

Who is going to play Clarence Boddicker?! That dude had ice in his veins and Kurtwood Smith nailed it.

"Bitches leave!"

Best villain ever.
