RE: Movie News & Reviews
From what i've been hearing about the Robocop remake things don't sound too good and here why:
"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*"
"Oh, god… oh dear god… Robocop is a Transformer. He goes from 'social mode' to 'combat mode' and back. Full transformation."
Robocop is dropped into an Al-Qaeda training camp at one point to see what he can do, while the ED-209s are deployed to Iran to stop suicide bombers.
There are a few pretty lousy-sounding winks to lines from the original Paul Verhoeven film (and even to its poster). There are also said to be several different versions of the RoboCop suit used through the film. HitFix's Drew McWeeny who read the script for the reboot, sounds like to me someone's been watching too many Michael Bay films (Transformers) oh dear hope to god this ain't anyway there's loads of time to make changes if it is.

why a remake? the original is a classic. the new total recall looks good from the trailors but again why a remake?
