What do you think of a robocop remake something like I robot and minority report? It would be the same story but better visuals and for robocop something like will smith in IRobot with the cyberkinetic arm but it would be practically his whole body and of course he would still have his gun holster. If you can come up with ideas as well and post them.
 
We really don't need a remake of Robocop.
 
Yeah besides how would the studio top the violence of the original to the remake.
 
I don't know it was just an idea I was throwing out there.
 
Hell no! Robocop is a classic and would be ruined by a remake. Whocares about better visuals, I like the originals just fine.
 
RoboCop is so much about the 80's, and of the 80's, that a remake is completely pointless.
 
Nah, RoboCop is a true cinematic classic. Maybe a sequel, but the original is just fine the way it is.
 
how about a sequel but they would be starting out with a different cop and it would have some of the ideas I mentioned.
 
There is no need for a Robocop remake. The one we currently have is good enough. It's not that movies fault the sequels were crap.
 
Isn't the RoboCop remake still in production?

I'd prefer not to have one happen.
 
Robocop is an amazing movie that DOESNT need to be re-made. However i would love for Verhoeven to do his sequel set in the future!
 
It's all about the story. Story, story, story. If there is a great RoboCop story that NEEDS to be told, then by all means make a sequel. If you want the movie first, and the story is secondary, it's folly.
 
I was just thinking of a evven more futuritic setting, and better robotics.
 
I liked the fact that the future of Robocop wasn't too distant. I think the original film was supposed to have taken place in the mid 90s. The think with "future" movies, is how off the vision of the future ends up being when we approach that time. Especially films that depicted the turn of the century. Other films have been more subtle, though.
 
I wanted to see somewhat of a IRobot feel with out all the robots and internal cyberkinetics like will smith in that film, except practically his whole body and he would have the same speech patterns as he did in the oroginal.
 
Yes the Robocop remake is still in some stage of production unfortantly.
I liked 2 but 3 was complete crap and ranks with rocky 5,batman forever/batman and robin,and superman the quest for peace as "movies that don't exist" to me.
 
It's really unfortunate that a Robocop remake is being considered for a remake. The film that Verhoeven worked on is actually pretty tight, and I see no reason to try and attempt to improve upon something that was essentially had so much to do with that particular decade. But with remakepalooza still running wild, the idea that this is being targeted for a remake doesnt surprise me in the very least. :o
 
I don't really see the point in a remake, but I wouldn't be averse to a sequel, provided that they stick to the following restrictions:

* No more 'glitch' memories of Murphy's wife and son. By the third movie, that got a little stale. They're gone, time to move on.
* No more crazy-a$$ upper-level thugs in cahoots with OCP. Even that nutty REHAB chief was just that - a thug.
* No more resorting to inept killer robots to do away with Murphy. Keep the ED-209s around for macabre comedic moments, though.
* No more Detroit police strikes. OCP will always treat the cops like sh** as long as OCP exists. They should know that by now.

Most importantly -

* Do something to the suit that will get Weller back. Heck, if his sensors are as powerful as they should be, Murphy wouldn't even have to move fast at all, even if he had an upgraded body; that would allow for a more maneuverable suit. He wouldn't have to be fast, but it could be more measured, precise movement.
 
Robocop is on the shortlist of films that should NEVER NEVER be remade...NEVER...
 
They did remake it. It was called inspector gadget and it sucked.
