RoboCop Remake Gets New Writer

 

 

According to THR Schenk will come aboard the movie which still has director Jose Padilha attached. The two had been working together on action thriller Tri-Border

MGM studios have been working on getting a remake of Robocop off the ground for years now but we haven’t heard too much about it since Padila was said to have taken the director’s chair. They hope to shoot the movie this Summer although no actor has been cast in the lead role yet. I still find myself humming the robocop theme then screaming, “MURPHY!”

Here is what Padila had to say about the movie previously..

Wars in the future are going to be fought with drones. We won’t send a plane with a pilot in, it will be drone. It’s getting that way now and ten years from now that’s how wars are going to be fought. But what if a drone goes wrong – who is to blame then? Do you blame the drone? And that problem asks if you can you consider a robot guilty of a crime. Or is it the corporation that made the robot that is guilty? How do you fight back against drones when you don’t have drones?
