Could this be the Robocop Remake poster!?!

[King Darkness]

GOD

WTF is with all these damn remakes!

 

[Elder_Predator2]

I know that Hicks could've made that, but that doesn't say much because he's a master at Photoshop.

 

[darthCipan]

I would prefer a sequel than a remake. What is it with remake to Hollywood these days?

 

[Batty]

I actually think I heard DekDave screaming off in the distance.

 

[Elder_Predator2]

Enough remakes. I want SEQUELS!

There is NO WAY you could remake Robocop and make it better! Halloween? Sure why not (Although not even close to Carpenters version) Friday the 13th? Sure why not but Robocop? What the hell is wrong with these people? I can promise you they executives that sprung the idea have NOT seen part 3.

Hollywood is just ridiculous!

This is legit, although it could be a TV series or some other media besides a feature remake/sequel.

I'm betting none of you saw the Canadian series of Robocop TV movies, eh?

And I'm sure that's not Weller under the mask - they probably haven't cast it yet.

I could definitely see a continuation of the franchise. What happens if they keep making Robocops? So there's a whole platoon out there and someone finds a way to control them remotely and takes over the force. Get Peter Weller back and McMurphy, now in his cloned human body, must put on the some suped up cop armor and take them all on single-handedly.

I'd buy that for a dollar!

Don't really like that idea, if there would need to be a sequel (and i don't think RoboCop needed sequels in the first place) i prefer Verhoeven's idea. Wich was about Murphy/Robocop dealing with his now grown up son (maybe the son became a cop aswell). And yes, ofcourse bring Weller back, he is the only true robo.

Thanks for clearing that up Dave.

 

[TOE]

has H-wood really run out of original ideas so they need to remake a movie that has absolutely no need? the original was already kickass. sheesh.

They've run out of ideas for ages. They get ideas from Asian flicks and a bunch of American re-make movies.

Just couple of weeks ago when I went to the theater, I was surprise to see a poster of Bangkok Dangerous with Nicolas Cage

I just saw the re-make of The Eye

 

[Elder_Predator2]

Was the remake any good?

 

[JJKrista1]

Post deleted for everyone else's sanity.

 

[gbtv01]

whoa, how is that insulting tippett?

he hasn't done any stop-motion work since coneheads, i think.
he does cgi just like everybody else, now. so, he'd probably be the one messing with a remake anyway.
i'd call that starship troopers sequel he did more of an insult to his work than anything.

I did not mean it as insulting to the industry meduim that he uses currently, I was talking about the break throughs that he worked his ass off to create back then, that is all.

 

[Darth Cruel]

Could it be a sequel as opposed to a re-make? I am thinking that the fact that it just says "Robocop" could have just been a hastily-put-together poster.

Or could it be a TV series?

 

[thundergod]

No , it's apparently being re-made as a movie ! The poster IS official and as stated at the beginning of the thread , the poster appeared at a show for licensors . If it's made , people will go and see it , look at the Halloween , Chainsaw ,etc, re-makes . It's all a matter of the quality of the talent involved in the production . We all know it's a bad idea , but there are kids of 16 who have never seen a Robocop move and that's the market the re-make is aimed at . Sad but true !

 

[a-dev]

but there are kids of 16 who have never seen a Robocop movie

...in the cinema. Surely most 16 year olds have seen the films though.

Something I find stupid about making a watered down sequel to an R rated film in order to attract younger audiences is the fact that having seen the watered down, kiddified sequel they are encouraged to go back and watch the original, which the higher age rating is supposed to forbid them from seeing. If the first film is aimed at an older audience then so too should subsequent entries in the same franchise....unless anyone can see a hole in my logic.

The hole is that they want more money and a watered down version will allow teens to buy tickets aswell as adults.

The truth is , we can discuss this till the cows come home . The law of diminishing returns say that sequels do not make more or even as much money as their predecessors ( O.k , there have been exceptions to this , but they are VERY rare ). This means the audience has to be broadened ( made larger) , therefore the rating has to be lowered to facilitate this . Simple economics and as we know , THIS is what drives the industry , not the desire to make decent films !:emperor
