RoboCop Adds Samuel L. Jackson

Samuel L. Jackson has joined the cast of Jose Padilha's RoboCop, says a story at The Hollywood Reporter. He'll play Pat Novak, a powerful TV mogul opposite Joel Kinnaman's Alex Murphy and Gary Oldman's a scientist named Norton.

A reboot of the 1987 Paul Verhoeven film, RoboCop will again tell the story of a police officer who, after nearly being killed in the line of duty, is rebuilt as a crime-fighting cyborg. The original film spawned two sequels and multiple television series spinoffs.

Jackson was recently seen on the big screen in Marvel's The Avengers, reprising his Iron Man role as Nick Fury. Coming up, he'll re-team with Quentin Tarantino for Django Unchained, set for release on Christmas Day.

RoboCop, meanwhile, is planned to hit theaters on August 9, 2013.

Your thinking of the wrong movie then cause there was no stalone in the 1987 robocop or any of them for that matter Peter Weller was robocop

Maybe he's thinking of Judge Dredd. That's another pretty good movie. This RoboCop remake is getting my attention. I usually hate on remakes but this one has potential. Just about anybody can be RoboCop. It's the script that really matters. I like where this movie is going so far. I wish I could see a teaser trailer.
