Robocop (film) reboot

[krisvds]

Directed by the guy who did the two 'Tropa De Elite' (Elite Squad) films? Robocop is in good hands. Those two were smart action films. Let's hope the studio doesn't interfere too much and that they can go for the R rating.

Looks like we have our new Officer Murphy then... http://www.cinemablend.com/new/Joel-...tar-29783.html

I don't know his work, but i'm still excited to see how this little experiment turns out....

That article is funny considering robocop wasn't even filmed in Detroit.

Bit of a weird one with the accents. I can stomach a fake american like Christian Bale (who also does interviews in his american accent. Let's not forget he's not even English - he's from bloody wales!) a lot more than I can stomach an american doing a british accent. Does Bale still do interviews in an American accent? I thought he only did that for the press marketing of Batman Begins because he was afraid of the backlash from fans if they found out he was playing such an iconic American character? Once The Dark Knight rolled around and he had proven himself, he used his natural tongue. I suppose he was right to worry what people would think of him playing Batman. Apparently some people don't care about performance, but where you were born?

so is this a faithful remake to the original or a dawn 04 style "remake" ? as i've seen hours of interview footage from the original movie.......... and isnt he a bit too tall to play the role since they wanted an average size man who didnt look intimidating at all and could actually fit into the suit he's the same height as arnold schwarzenegger who they said was "too tall" to play the role

It's a prequel. A steampunk prequel.   (I wish) Honestly...looks like they're trying to a more down to earth tack on it: In the first 'RoboCop' when Alex Murphy is shot, gunned down, then you see some hospitals and stuff and then you cut to him as RoboCop. My movie is between those two cuts. How do you make RoboCop? How do you slowly bring a guy to be a robot? How do you actually take humanity out of someone and how do you program a brain, so to speak, and how does that affect an individual?"

does that means the cyberdyne link will remain or actually be shown in this one? it'd be great if they let us know for sure what all of murphy is really inside the suit instead of us guessing for decades

Totally forgot about all the cyberdine stuff.

I only recall the cyberdine connection in the robocop vs terminator comics. Might be cool to see though. I'm worried about the costume. The original is so perfect.

I always assumed that inside the suit was the remainder of Murphy's face, brain, and organs - which circulates fluid to the machine - and nothing else...."Total body prosthesis" was Miguel Ferrer's quote... sorry, if that was slightly off topic and unrelated to Cyberdyne stuff.

The new Robocop will not hide his face... http://www.cinemablend.com/new/Joel-...ace-30148.html As much as I loved the original suit, it was a bit of a flaw how no one ever seemed to be able to shoot his (unprotected) jaw/mouth!
