ROBOCOP
Brazilian helmer Jose Padilha has the unenviable task of
remaking the classic sci-fi satire RoboCop. Not much is known about the film at
the moment, but the director recently spoke to the Dutch website Film 1 about
the project. The awkward Google translation follows:
"I love the sharpness and political tone of RoboCop,
and I think that such a film is now urgently needed," he says when asked
about director Paul Verhoeven's original. "But I will not repeat what
Verhoeven has done so clearly and strongly. Instead I try to make a film that
will address topics that Verhoeven untreated. If you are a man changes into a
robot, how do you do that? What is the difference between humans and robots
developed? What is free will? What does it mean to lose your free will?"

| Michael Fassbender wanted for RoboCop |
Director José Padilha has revealed the actor he wants to
play the title role in his planned remake of Robocop.
Bleeding Cool points out this interview that Padilha
recently did where he said, "There are some actors I like [for the role of
Robocop]. I like Michael Fassbender very much. I'm going to talk to him, and
he's a real possibility. But there are great actors who could play
Robocop."
Fassbender recently wowed audiences with his turn as Magneto
in X-Men: First Class, and is currently winning raves for his performances in
the upcoming indies Shame and A Dangerous Method. He'll also appear in Ridley
Scott's sci-fi epic Prometheus.
