    MGM has hired Gran Torino screenwriter Nick Schenk to work on the screenplay for RoboCop. Jose Padilha is attached to direct the action sci-fi reboot.

    The CAA-repped Schenk had been working with Padilha, who co-wrote and directed Elite Squad: The Enemy Within, on the action thriller Tri-Border. The writer also has the original drama The Judge set up at Warner Bros. with Team Downey producing.

    MGM has been developing a new take on the RoboCop franchise, which launched with the 1987 film directed by Paul Verhoeven, for years. The studio is hoping for a summer start, but no one has yet been cast in the title role.

    They could do a lot with this. I'm hoping that it's some sort of Pre-Ghost in the Machine type scenario.

    Who the hell is Joe Pedphilla?

    Didn't Darren Arronfosky want to direct this?? That would have been insane! =(

    Also, the Total Recall remake is looking pretty nice IMO, so maybe this 80's action remake trend is going to work out?

    i hope so, but they'll probably take out all the gore and language so they can get a pg13 rating. the originals tried everything they could to make you squirm a little, pure blood and guts awesome.

    I can't picture robocop in a modern steel outfit. Seems tricky to do this without being tacky.

    First The Lorax, now this. Just remake The Meaning of Life and Christmas Vacation, and my childhood finally dies.

    The only ideas Hollywood has these days are how to milk old things for new money.

    a remake of My Life that starred Michael Keaton would be badass.

    I hope the music stays the same, it's timeless like Star Wars, Indiana Jones, and Deep Cover.

    Milking new things for old money is hard bro. You try doing it.

    I would bet on:
    * CGI fest
    * jettison sense of irony from original

    Won't be the same without the ultra violence, and Robocop had a sensational cast of character actors. Perhaps the best lineup of villains in any B movie ever.

    Well, Spielberg was able to take B-movie scripts and add full orchestras and top-shelf cinematography and stunt-work; I guess a nice pair of t*** and half-a-GDP's worth of CGI could make this afterbirth watchable.
