Just heard a rumor that Robocop would have a remake, by Alex Proyas, of I, Robot.
I think they really really really really really really need to leave the first one ALONE. I really liked Peter Weller in the First Robocop. He was the BEST ACTOR FOR ROBOCOP.
The second one pretty much I wouldn't buy for a dollar, and the third... was a kid's film.
I'm not even gonna go into the Robocop the Series either... that was too pacifistic.
I would make a better script if there was a Robocop film made by me. I think I would hire Viggo M. from Lord of The Rings as Alex Murphy. If Verhoven and Naha did the script, I would soo be grateful because they knew how to materialize Robocop.

The Commander Cash skits in ever episode were a nice touch though.

What do you think people?
If they're to mess around with the license, a Robocop Vs Terminator movie couldn't be much worse than what the 3rd movies of each series have already done to spoildecent licenses...

The Crow was a good movie so I have nothing against the guy, but I am getting sick of remakes. Speaking of Robocop has anyone read that Frank Miller comic? Was it any good? I guess nothing can be worse than Robocop helping Sting in WCW

I have the entire Frank Miller's "Robocop" series and all I can say is this: it's what Robocop 2 would have been if Miller got his way. The story is good, but I'm not to fond of the artwork. It's gory and violent and sometimes I couldn't tell exactly what was going on. Plus, it took too damn long for the series to come out (2-3 month wait between issues sometimes).
The first Robocop film is a classic, true. But Frank Miller complained about Hollywood altering the first film and bastardizing the others. Given what was done with Sin City, maybe Miller can redeem his creation if he had more involvement.
It'll be hard to replace Weller though. Now he's an academic (as in he teaches history in universities) AND he's also appearing on 24 as...

...someone who's trying to kill Jack Bauer. He's still a badass. And balding.

Yeah, that's pretty much where I'm at. I don't care WHAT it is, stop the fucking remakes. Re-inventing, re-imagining, whatever they want to call it, just stop. Oh, and that goes for TV show to movie adaptations too. Those aren't clever either.

Considering how creatively bankrupt Hollywood is right now, it's a wish that won't be granted anytime soon for anyone it seems...

I don't know about RoboCop; the Cybermen are making a nice return, though.

Ahhh, somebody else looking forward to it, too? :D You a Doctor Who fan? I like how they gave them the old "tear-drop" eyes from the 60's... I always thought those were cool. edit: Yesss! Sarah Jane and K-9, too. I want the Ice Warriors to return...

Come on, now. The new Battlestar Galactica is better than what was on in the 70s and 80s (at least IMHO).

Yeah, I think it adds to the creepiness -- the idea that there's something... crying inside the Cybermen, sort of. Trapped in there, that will never be human again.
I hope they bring back the music. I imagine Murray Gold could do an interesting mix of it.
EDIT: Maybe I should have another go, with them in mind.

No kidding. All those organic monsters -- they could be done so much better now. You've seen the catnuns? Good lord, that must be the most convincing makeup I've seen in my life.

I'm not sure what to think about Dr. Who monsters that are able to move quickly -or at least faster than the slow shuffle the critters on the old series had- but the latest design on the Cybermen is great.

The WETA Robocop figure looks cool...except the neck--it looks too small. Then again, they could be going for that look. Murphy is, after all, a cyborg. Also, is it me or can you see his eyes through his visor?
ED-209 looks a little cool. But yeah, I'm not rich enough to spend $100+ on each.
