This comes as great news seeing how the original ROBOCOP was a gritty, violent action flick and that was it’s main appeal! Now don’t get me wrong… there’s no way this reboot will be able to match the original film, it’s a classic.
The producers also stress the fact that this is NOT a sequel in any sense of the word. They’re looking at this new ROBOCOP as more of a reimagining… man these words all seem the same don’t they? Well what I think the producers are trying to say is that they’re taking the same basic idea from ROBOCOP, dropping it in today’s world, and making a brand new film/franchise with it. Now like I said, in no way could this possibly compete with the first ROBOCOP… but dare I say it’s got potential?
Serve the public trust. Protect the innocent. Uphold the law.
The idea is brilliant… the directing is amazing… and the R rating is just exciting. I don’t see where this reboot can mess up! I suppose the last key we’re waiting on is some casting news. Who will don the famous Robo-suit? Who’ll be the smoking lead female? And who’s going to step in to play the evil bastard of a villain? ROBOCOP is looking at a (presumably Summer) 2010 release date. As always, we’ll keep you updated.
