Wow, that could be... interesting

at least you know he wouldn't skimp on the gross-out violence

that would be cool apart form the moving out of Detroit

You know, those Sci-Fi channel Robocop movies were actually quite decent aside from being a little too predictable. >.>

a good new robocop movie would kickass, and at the same time be an ironic mockery of the first.

So i'm all for it.

*loved Pi and Requiem For A Dream*

Yeah I heard this as well.

I'd buy that for a dollar!

*hopes for great things to come from this*

What are your Prime Directives?

Serve the public trust, protect the innocent, ASS-TO-ASS!

REDIRECT: SUCCESSFUL

I was waiting for it

Someone else saw Requiem For A Dream didn't they. Such a great movie, and such a f&$ked up movie at the same time.

mini lolz

*didn't take it out for air*

I really, truly love all Robocop merchandise because of the irony of it all.

Did it die?


Sorry, that was funnier out of context for some reason

I like it because it's cool as f*ck.

There's that too.

And another ass to ass.

Who are the girls grinding asses in that movie again? I haven't seen in yet.

it's Jennifer Connelly and some unknown person.... but it's not at all what you think, trust me

the whole movie made me nauseous for a week, like my soul needed a bath

I just found a reason to pick up Battlefield 2142.

Just watch out for the stairs.

They improved on ED since then. Plus, you could just blow up the damn stairs.

Mods for the frigging win!

...but it's 4 people on their quest for "happiness," how can that not be awesome?

I'm loving the BF 2142 mod. farging ED-209 is awesome!

That is pretty sweet. Makes me want a RoboCop game.

*has fifteen seconds to comply*

*drops weapon*

Robocop Vs the Terminator. Genesis game. I'm sure you can find it easily.

Edit: Listed that game because it's the only good Robocop game.

Were there 2 of em? I remember going to Hollywood video several months ago and I noticed 2 or 3 RoboCop movies that I never heard of. I think one was called Meltdown and I think the other, if not the same, had 2 RoboCops.

Four. They all aired in the same week(they were basically a mini series). Sadly, I believe only two of them were put on DVD.

Yeah ya know I was thinking of something from like, not forever ago thx

You're boned. Hard.

The only recent Robocop game was on the X-Box, and I cannot find reviews for that damn thing no matter how hard I look(Hell, the only reason I know it exists is because I saw it in Wal-Mart). Given who made it(shotty dev number 5,638, basically), it probably sucks.

That's why I'm going to pick up BF 2142 and get that ED 209 skin. That would be what I wanted to play with in a game anyway.

Looks like this movie will NOT be a sequel or tied to existing continuity:

So, a reboot then?

Well, if you think about it... RoboCop started out cool and nose-dived... it's being resurrected by an awesome director... kinda sounds like Nolan's Batman to me.

Guess they batter cash in quick before "reboot" phase dies out.

It kind of is like Batman, but it kind of isn't. The first Keaton film (which I love) wasn't really an origin story, it kind of picked up with Batman acting as Batman rather than becoming Batman, so Begins (which I also love) was nice because it rebooted the franchise AND became an origin story, so it was still a NEW story.

However, the first RoboCop was an origin story already, as well as being a commentary to American consumerism and the decay of American industry (I'm sure you're aware), which, you know, was relevant in the 80's but not so much now.

I dunno, I'm close-minded and think it will be pretty much PHAIL without Peter Weller and SPF 1,000,000 sunblock.

I suppose I should mention that I think the first film was brilliant and didn't need any shitty sequels tarnishing its awesomeness (not just in terms of movie coolness but the satirical elements as well). And I don't really think this movie is necessary at all. Then again, most aren't. But Aronofsky intrigues me... he's not known for obnoxious commercial pieces.

Somewhat like that Sci-Fi miniseries then. That one pretended the second and third films don't exist.

Which would be a wise call IMO.

I knew they reprogrammed Robocop at some point, good to know they included some (more) attitude!

it was a good mini-series, actually. A bit fanboyish, but still good.
