New Ed kinda looks like a Macross/Robotech mech.

...that got raped by a Bayformer

Re: Robocop....making a comeback?

Yes, that too.

Re: Robocop....making a comeback?

Because all the character roles are exactly the same. If your going to take everthing that worked and throw it away but still use name recognition that comes off to me as a cash grab.

Same as Total Recall.

Wouldn't mind seeing a Robotech movie.

Wouldn't mind seeing a Robotech movie.

For some reason I'm picturing that G-Savior live-action Gundam movie and first thing to pop into my mind is DO NOT WANT!

Re: Robocop....making a comeback?

Re: Robocop....making a comeback?

Re: Robocop....making a comeback?

Just read this on a Dutch movienewssite. It's tweets from Drew McWeeny of Hitfix.com who apparantly read the script.

@DrewAtHitFix I tried to read the "Robocop" remake, but 20 pages in my nose started bleeding and I forgot my name. #nobueno #reallynobueno

Spoiler

I’ll share this one detail. In the film, when Murphy is turned into Robocop 1.0, it’s described “a high-tech version of the ’80s suit.”

Then they show a focus group scene where criminals laugh at the design. “He looks like a toy from the ’80s!”

So they redesign him to look “meaner” as Robocop 2.0, who passes focus group approval.

So they not only make sure to include the original design, they also point out it’s dated and stupid. *facepalm*

Hold onto your sides for more hilarious “Robocop” details. They outsource his construction to China. #seriously

And we meet the ED-209s in the field in Iran, where they’re used to subdue suicide bombers. #ineedallthedrinksnow

Ahhh… now they just dropped Robocop 3.0 onto an Al Queda training camp to see what he does.

“He should be programmed to incapacitate in all scenarios.” “Agreed. Let’s keep him PG-13, Dr. Norton.” No. No. No. No.

By page 54, they are already onto Robocop 4.0, who looks like a “cop on steroids painted metallic blue.”

Oh, god… oh dear god… Robocop is a Transformer. He goes from “social mode” to “combat mode” and back. Full transformation.

Write it down. Page 55, the “Robocop” remake beat me. I’m done. I can’t hurt more than this.

Someone shows Pope, head of the OCP project, some mock-ups for Robocop action figures. “Are you kidding? I wouldn’t buy that for a dollar!”

Okay… the two “best” lines in the script. First up is at the unveiling ceremony for Robocop in Detroit, from a TV reporter covering it.

“I think it’s safe to say that Alex Murphy is now part man, part machine, ALL COP!” Yes, I too remember the original poster, asshat.

Second, after the traumatic first meeting with his father, Alex’s son retreats to the apartment of Lewis, Murphy’s male partner.

The scene ends with the action line “David sits, catatonic, looks at the TV — MGM REMAKE TBD.”

I’ll say this: once the script stops all the winky-winky crap and just starts telling a story, it’s not terrible. But it’s way too late.

When this thing hits theaters, people are going to call up Len Wiseman’s “Total Recall” on the phone and apologize for being so mean.

Interesting read. Thanks for sharing.

Re: Robocop....making a comeback?

Yeah. Interesting and awful

Re: Robocop....making a comeback?

wow it sounds so horrible

 

[CelticPredator]

Re: Robocop....making a comeback?

Hey i'm glad. Hopefully this, and Total Rehash would be a reminder to Hollywood to stop remaking GOOD movies.

Re: Robocop....making a comeback?

How can you guys not like that? Seriously, it sounds awsome. All thats needed now is some re-dubbed Bin Laden tapes, slow motion bullet time and.... I cant go through with that.

Its sounds ****ing abysmal. First, they did The Thing which wasnt too bad but wasnt certainly good. Then they did Total Recall, this.... what else is going to ger remake-rapage?
