Jose Padilha Talks Robocop Remake

[GreenL420]

Will it follow the original or go in a completely knew direction, well, the Dutch website Film 1 asked Padilha how his version will be different from Paul Verhoeven’s version?

Here is what, Padilha said, courtesy of Joblo for the translation;

“I love the sharpness and political tone of RoboCop, and I think that such a film is now urgently needed. But I will not repeat what Verhoeven has done so clearly and strongly. Instead I try to make a film that will address topics that Verhoeven untreated. If you are a man changes into a robot, how do you do that? What is the difference between humans and robots developed? What is free will? What does it mean to lose your free will? Those are the issues that I think.”

I for one am intrigued, but again, I’m also very sceptical as it is yet another remake being churned out.

Whats your thoughts?

I hope it turns out to be something good. Many remakes failed.

I hate remakes but I'd prob check this one out.

Wasn't a fan of the first ones but I'm open to a remake. Concept of Robocop is good.
