    Considering the director and the guy playing Robocop, I'm fairly certain they're going for more of a gritty, semi-realistic look, but I could be completely wrong. I just know the director normally handles dark, gritty, and realistic action dramas and I figured the studio wouldn't hire him if they weren't aiming for a similar feel.

    The only way the Robocop remake could work for me is if they took a leaf from the the batman remakes and make truly dark and broody like crime is supposed to be. But that design looks as shit as can be and then some.

    If those script leaks are real this sounds anything but gritty.

    Sounds like more trouble for this remake.

    The reboot of ROBOCOP is set to go before cameras next month, but that may not be the most exciting news for the film's director, Jose Padilha (ELITE SQUAD) who is apparently having a "hell" of a time dealing with the Hollywood studio system according to his friend, filmmaker Fernando Meirelles (CITY OF GOD). In an interview with Cinemacon Rapadura, the director revealed that some phone conversations with Padilha have revealed a troubled filmmaker trapped in the bubble of "the system.":

    "I talked to José Padilha for a week by phone. He will begin filming Robocop. He is saying that it is the worst experience. For every 10 ideas he has, 9 are cut. Whatever he wants, he has to fight. “This is hell here,” he told me. “The film will be good, but I never suffered so much and do not want to do it again.” He is bitter, but it’s a fighter," said Meirelles.

    Keaton is too goofy to play a corporate jerk, still it's not nearly the worst decision on this film.

    Agreed, would have liked to have seen Hugh Laurie in that role.

    I'm hoping there will be more to the suit after they get done with post, because right now he's looking like a mix of Raiden from the MGS series and one of those shitty ninjas from the new GI Joe movie

    I'm gonna go out on a limb and say this movie will be a train wreck.

    From what I've seen so far, it's looking pretty okay. I like some parts of the suit but it definitely doesn't make me think of Robocop, the Iron Man suits look more Robocop than that mess, it just looks like plastic pieces glued on to a spandex skin suit, not a very good take at all.

    Michael Keaton as the villain? I'm pretty sold on that, that fucker needs to bring his career back so he can be the old Batman in a future live-action Frank Miller adaptation the Dark Knight Returns...maybe...

    From the filmmaker getting pressure from the studio, I totally commend him on his ideas that keep getting shot down, it sounds like he really wants to make this remake into something interesting. While I myself love the original 2 Robocop movies, I would like to see a different and positive take on the robotic crimestopper, more brutal violence and gore to symbolize what humanity's crime system has become and has stabbed its freedom on a meathook, it should question about the right for all people to bare arms and such.

    What I DON'T want to see is a shot-for-shot remake, it's a complete waste of time, and I would like to see a more character-driven Robocop like in the original just done with something more ballsy. The whole point of a remake should be not to upstage the original classic (Fright Night and Total Recall), but to make it different in a good way in terms of character and story, not to make it a walking advertisement, because it would just glorify the things that the original Robocop was instructing to be corrupt are completely corrupt, the suits wouldn't give a damn if it helps them sell more toys or happy meals.

    I don't want a remake where it has to be sexed up or gored up for the hell of it, regardless that I love those themes, but that's not what Robocop was all about, it was about how low we would dial ourselves to become a society ruled by corruption and crime, where justice is no longer needed but it fights for its own respect to protect the people. Kind of like X-Men, except it's with the police and cyborgs instead of mutants.

    But like Fright, I'll see what a trailer for this will look like. Dredd looks like a decent comic book movie...that makes me wonder...does anyone feel like Robocop and Judge Dredd are kind of the same except in reverse?

    They will probably add some CGI to the final look I am guessing. I have to agree with FrighT and say just wait for the movie trailer before making any last judgement on this.
