RoboCop - the remake

March 17, 2008


AintItCoolNews pointed out a press release from MGM that lists a new "RoboCop" movie alongside upcoming franchise films already in development like "Quantum of Solace," "The Thomas Crown Affair 2" (with "RoboCop" director Paul Verhoeven on board) and for some reason, "The Pink Panther 2 and 3".

Unfortunately, it looks like MGM would rather reboot the "Robocop" franchise rather than give us an easily forgettable sequel. Great - I'm sure this new remake will totally miss the point with the shocking violence, sick humor and sharp satire of the original.

While we're at it, maybe we can put some bling and spinning rims on Robocop as he chases generic hoodlums all around Detroit.

The thing is, the original couldn't get any darker or more relevant - it still holds up and is an amazing piece of societal satire. Why would someone want to ruin that and tarnish the name of "Robocop" for good?

Behold - The "new" RoboCop!

AICN have released a teaser poster of the upcoming remake, touting "first look - courtesy the New York Licensing Show - at the new and, er, improved, "RoboCop" (coming to theatres 2010)" :-

Hmm...I wonder what Paul Verhoeven is thinking right now.:rolleyes:

Anything that is dated by 20 years is now going to be remade.

To show new kids in a better quality.

I asked my nephew if he ever saw Back to the Future or Indiana Jones and he said, "No those movies are old and stupid."

Kids nowadays just can't appreciate anything that is more then like ten years old and studios are picking up on that and are gonna remake everything.

So this is going to be on some PG-13 bullshit for the kids?

Wasn't that what Robocop 3 was for?
