- ROBOCOP
Joel Kinnaman, Gary Oldman, Samuel L. Jackson, Hugh Laurie,
Jackie Earle Haley, Jay Baruchel, Michael Kenneth Williams and Abbie Cornish will
be in the upcoming Robocop remake, but will it be good, classic, epic or will
it bad, horrible, just a straight fail??

| Fan's attempt at the New Design |
Latino-Review points out a roasting series of tweets from
HitFix's Drew McWeeny who read the script for the reboot, which starts filming
this fall for a 2013 release. Here are a few particularly caustic revelations
about the script so be advised of SPOILERS:
"In the film, when Murphy is turned into Robocop 1.0,
it’s described 'a high-tech version of the ’80s suit.' Then they show a focus
group scene where criminals laugh at the design. 'He looks like a toy from the
’80s!' So they redesign him to look 'meaner' as Robocop 2.0, who passes focus
group approval. So they not only make sure to include the original design, they
also point out it’s dated and stupid. *facepalm*"
"Oh, god… oh dear god… Robocop is a Transformer. He
goes from 'social mode' to 'combat mode' and back. Full transformation."
Well the switch from social mode to combat mode could be equaled to the mouth
guard that comes up on Optimus when he has to fight.
All in all this just nitpicking at certain aspects of the
film, who is to say that this will be bad or good, who don’t know at the end of
the day its all about execution and a good story.
The suit will be redesigned numerous times in the film, but
for now that’s all we know be sure to stay intouch for updates.
