Oldman is like the most underrated actor ever. I'm excited for a Robocop reboot, I just hope it's good. God, I really haven't seen the movies since I was a kid. I'm putting that at the top of my list.

I always say when Gary Oldman is cast as villian in any movie it will be a good picture.

yep :thumb:

I also got to wonder if this could be a "reimagining" of the story, even down to the Roboarmor/prosthesis to make it more battle plausible specifically the facevizor because I was always irked that his mouth and chin were exposed without any type of protection of armor or another blast proof material.

Samuel L. Jackson Joining 'Robocop'

Samuel L. Jackson is joining the cast of Robocop, MGM and Sony’s remake of the classic 1987 sci-fi action movie.

Jose Padilha is directing the film, which sees Joel Kinnaman (The Killing) as the title hero, a cop named Alex Murphy who is brought back from the brink of death and turned into a cyborg police officer. Gary Oldman has already been cast as his scientist-creator.

Jackson will play Pat Novak, a charismatic media mogul and a powerful force in the Robocop world.

We know Robocop will have the words "mutha ****a" in it.

I'm hard

This remake sound better and better

casted way younger than expected for the " Old Man"

It sounds like its gonna be a different version than Cox played

or he's playing a Dick Jones esque part.

That would be a better fit

Rumor around my office is that we'll be doing the post work on it. Helps that it's shooting up here. I'll certainly be working on it if it's a go.

The Old Man was a sort-of ally in the first movie, but the villain in the second. I'm guessing they're going to combine - or at least blur the lines between - him and Dick Jones in this remake.

Can't wait to see who they cast as Clarence Boddicker. I wouldn't mind them signing Kurtwood Smith again, actually.

Sounds like the type of movie I'll drag my girlfriend to kicking and screaming and then she'll walk out having enjoyed it, similar to the Star Trek remake =)
