Seeing the ED-209 robot made me smile remembering the boardroom scene from the first ROBOCOP. It is going to take a lot to top the Paul Verhoeven original, but the cast and crew for this one gives me a lot of hope. They just better not pussy out and make this PG-13 like they did with ROBOCOP 3. What a waste.
ROBOCOP is being directed by Jose Padilha and stars Joel Kinnaman, Gary Oldman, Samuel L. Jackson, Abbie Cornish and Hugh Laurie. It will hit theaters August 9, 2013.
