According to The Hollywood Reporter, MGM is planning on remaking ROBOCOP, or more specifically, They (MGM) also confirmed that 1987’s “Robocop” could resurface in a new version.
Ok, so there’s a shred of hope with the “could” thrown in there, but that doesn’t really make sense why they would confirm a possibility. Seems to me they confirmed that it’s going to happen, and that “could” was only thrown in to make them look better if the deal falls through down the line.
I guess we shouldn’t be so surprised… I mean, the flick just hit its 20 year anniversary last year, so I guess it was up for a remake. Although, no matter what those f*cks say, it will never live up to Paul Verhoeven’s masterpiece blend of comic book action and extreme violence.
