RoboCop Returns?

[The Chris]

Which director can be a good fit for this?

 

[Savage]

I don't see what's wrong with a remake. If you don't like it then the old one still exists. It's just taking a chance to make it better with today's technology. Like King Kong, The Thing or The Fly. Sometimes they come out good, sometimes they suck. I'm hoping this one doesn't suck but as of now we have nothing to go by but a floating head. Do we even know who's writing this before we condemn them to the lowest parts of hell?

Honestly Robocop origin is not that incredible. I mean lets not forget the rated R that helped a lot in this movie. And if it s confirmed that Rocop is PG I don't really need to see it again at least do a sequel something new.

Certain remakes are cool - the problem arises when a given studio decides to concentrate on remaking films more than financing original ones.

I have a nighmarish vison of the future of movies where original ideas for movies are stifled in favour of recylcling old ones.

Just heard the news.

Robo reboot?
BARF! NO THANX!

If Rocky/Rambo/Indy can get legit sequels why not Robo?

It could be awesome.
Set it in Delta city, Robo comes outta storage or is about to be taken offline.

This is more of a blessing in disguise... All 3 of the movies you mentioned while entertaining pale terribly in comparison to the original, hell its as if the film-makers acknowledge that, took out the checklist that the fans wanted and went on their way, the only one that even manage to do something different was Rambo.

Next a direct remake of Robocop would suck, this is true. Robocop is a product of its generation, etc. However, taking the original design of the suit and going in a new direction could be cool and different (and it could also suck).

Thirdly, the main character is a man in a suit and while many attest to Peter Weller being Robocop, it the same argument that F13 fans made prior to Freddy Vs. Jason that Kane Hodder was Jason, and look how that turned out, out of all the complaints I didn't hear anyone say, "z0mg the man in the suit is wrong".

Lastly quite a few of the actors from the original robocop are either dead or just too damn old... So what do you people want Robocop: The Geriatric Years or Robocop: The Sequal with a whole bunch of new actors... No No No a remake is the only way to go.

Also Robocop 3 and the various crappy TV **** has kind of ruined any possibility of a good sequel happening.

 

[nite-owl]

Does anyone know what Verhoeven thinks of the remake?

sequel with a new cast please.

Remaking/rebooting Robocop is the dumbest idea I have ever heard because the first film is perfect.
Thus making a new Robo origin film is obsolete in design/irrelevant and pointless by default.

 

[Savage]

Robocop was perfect? So it's the best movie of all time? You can find absolutely nothing wrong with it?

 

[Retroman]

No but no one is asking for it to be remade and likely made PG-13.

It seems nothing is sacred anymore in Hollywood. My Fair Lady is been remade, Hitchcock's Birds and now this.

 

[Octoberist]

i mean, i don't understand remakes if they don't strive to be as good or better than the original. This has 'cheap' written all over if it gets some hack to direct it.

You don't remember the 14 Academy Awards it won 20 years ago?

Frank Miller should write/direct, should be rated R, and a total reboot. The themes from the first film can still be used today.

 

[GhostPoet]

The first movie was so dated. I'm glad they are finally bringing it back.

 

[Shifty]

They should keep the score but just update it.

that's the problem. then movies like Ghostbuster will be 'outdated' so update it. I'm not against updates, it's just Hollywood doesn't have self control, and I feel this is only the start of a very nasty trend.

plus, Robocop is still a good film. it's a satire. it's a black comedy, almost. i'm sure the remake will miss that completely.

 

[Space Moose]

I hope it flops just to show them how badly they're scraping the bottom of the barrell for ideas.

"Let's remake 90s movies"

"Yeah, how about The Sandlot. that one is outdated and kids can't relate to it.

haha

"Oh, man, how outdatted is that Rosebud movie? People are still using typewriters and stuff!"

"We should re-make it but with a fashion magazine instead of a newspaper. Oh, and make the main character a sassy overweight black 'chick' and replace Joseph Cottons character with a gay male stereotype who LOVES Starbucks. Holy crap, get Starbucks on the line for product placement, we could totally make a buttload of cash!"

"Oh crap! Hand me a cigarette, 'cus I just came in my pants!"

Negating any minor sfx issues, yep perfect.
Best film ever, yeah I'll go with that too.
It's my third fav.

Many people fail to see the genius of RoboCop. They polarise it as cheese with 2-Dimensional characters and a laughable script. What Verhoven crafted out of seemingly ham is a banquet. I shudder to think if Joel Schuaemacher or Michael Bay would have done. This may sound crazy but I place RoboCop above Star Wasr and Lord of the Rings for having the balls to make such a thoughtfull ultravoilent flick that gives two fingers to critics and pollitical correctness.

Sad but true.

Hey, at least they had the dignity to release it on Blu-Ray...

 

[Nightmare]

Frank Miller? the hell. That'd be just weird.
