Absolutely agreed. Any movie is instantly better for having Oldman in it. He's outstanding.

His name is Omar, damnit.

Hell yeah! He is ****ing awesome. With a face like his, he probably won't be playing a good guy... unless he is a good guy that had an accident at some point and horrifically scarred his face. Just sayin'.

edit: Jesus Christ! Just read he received the scar in a bar fight. **** that.

No Hugh Laurie For ‘Robocop’ Remake
By MIKE FLEMING Friday August 24, 2012 @ 9:46am PDT

Though he was expected to play the head of the facility that made the title character, Hugh Laurie is no longer going to star in the Robocop remake at MGM. The film, which stars Joel Kinnaman in the role originated by Peter Weller, is being directed by Jose Padilha and also stars Gary Oldman, Samuel L. Jackson, Jackie Earle Haley, Abbie Cornish and Jay Baruchel. I’ve heard MGM is talking with a small group of actors to fill the role that Laurie was to play, including Clive Owen.

Michael Keaton Joins ‘Robocop’ Remake
By MIKE FLEMING Wednesday August 29, 2012 @ 3:31pm PDT

BREAKING: Michael Keaton has been set to play the role of Raymond Sellars in the MGM/Columbia Pictures’ RoboCop remake. Sellars is the CEO of the corporation that builds RoboCop, a role that Hugh Laurie was expected to play until he dropped out before consummating a deal. The film, a re-imagining of the 1987 Paul Verhoeven cult classic, is scheduled to begin shooting next month. RoboCop will be released on August 9, 2013.

Keaton joins previously announced Joel Kinnaman, Gary Oldman, Samuel L. Jackson and Abbie Cornish in the Jose Padilha-directed film.

“Michael is the final addition to the amazing cast we have assembled for this film and it is so great to have the last puzzle piece in place. It is thrilling that everything has come together to bring this innovative new vision of RoboCop to life. We’ve got a great script, a great cast, some killer ED-209’s and I can’t wait to get Alex Murphy back on the streets,” said Padilha.

When's the last time he was even in a movie? I can't seem to recall

The Other Guys with Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg, and he voiced Ken in Toy Story 3

I think that's a human cop/SWAT suit. if you notice he still has his right hand intact.

I have no idea. I was just passing along the pics and the article.

Looks like Kinnaman in the suit, the suit looks like the RC-2000 picture from the website.. Now maybe it is a swat suit, and he dies in it and becomes RC, but I have a feeling that is what RC is going to look like..

IMO, it looks like it's a SWAT suit by the mere fact that they're shooting a scene in one of the pics with his hand exposed.

It will be nice to see Keaton back in action.

Maybe they're going to CGI his hand out of the shot.
