Re: Robocop....making a comeback?

The only remake I genuinely want to see is the star wars trilogy. I'd love to see a reimagining...

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

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.

That sounds so awful I thought I was reading an article from Cracked.com or The Onion. Like a joke or a put on. Seriously that's bad. :slap
 
Re: Robocop....making a comeback?

Lately i noticed that my favorite director Paul Verhoeven is now a very underrated director. Im shure alot of you freaks know an repsect his work but back in the day he made Hollywood a $hi* load of money and after a few flops he just disapeared from the scene and Now there trying to remake all his classics, Total Recall, Robocop, probly SST, hell mabey even Showgirls.

Mabey it was Pauls choice to do smaller productions an thats fine, hes just a legend in my opinion an i hope people remember him when they see all these reboots.
