Robocop remake

I wish this wasn't true. The original remains one of my favourite films.

Gary Oldman has just been signed up for it but I read that Joel Kinnaman (from The Killing) is playing Murphy.

Not looking forward to this. The original just cannot be improved upon.

The director will be José Padilha who did the excellent documentary 'Bus 174' and the supposedly decent Elite Squad.

OK so Gary O isn't going to be in it? But who would he have played? The old man at OCP?

Gary Oldman is in it. He plays the scientist that creates Robocop apparently. My first thought was that he would play Murphy/Robocop himself.

Just woke up to find out Hugh Laurie is being cast as the OCP boss baddie!

No, just no.

On the bright side, Samuel L. Jackson is apparently in it as well. Maybe the film will have a bit of cheese and humour after all!
