Gary Oldman signs up for RoboCop
Gary Oldman Joining MGM's 'Robocop' Remake
Gary Oldman has inked a deal to star opposite Joel Kinnaman in MGM’s remake of Robocop. Jose Padilha is directing the film, which is being produced by Strike Entertainment’s Marc Abraham and Eric Newman. Kinnaman (The Killing) plays the title character, a cop named Alex Murphy who is brought back from the brink of death and turned into a cyborg police officer. Oldman will play Norton, the scientist who creates Robocop and finds himself torn between the ideals of the machine trying to rediscover its humanity and the callous needs of a corporation. The production is eyeing a September shoot in Toronto and has a tentative release date of summer 2013. |

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.

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.

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 =)
