2012 is already packed with films for the geek/fandom crowd. Is 2013 shaping up to be a worthy follow-up? It seems like it!

hes got a point, you can look at remakes like retelling old stories...kinda like old legends, if you dont repeat them how will people know about them?

I watched Robocop 1, 2, and 3 and I gotta say the original will always be my favorite.

THERE'S ALWAYS THE PURISTS..THE "YOU SHOULDN'T REBOOT IT BECAUSE YOU'LL SCREW IT UP" PEOPLE..BUT IT'S TRUE WHAT HE SAID, WE RETELL STORIES ALL THE TIME, THEY DON'T ALWAYS WORK OUT..

SOME RETELLS WORK WELL..


I JUST HOPE THEY WAY THEY DO IT WORKS..ROBOCOP HAS A LOOK AN FEEL TO IT THAT IF YOU MESS WITH IT TOO MUCH PEOPLE WILL START TRIPP'N..I SAY IF YOUR GONNA DO IT..MAKE SURE IT'S GOING TO BE GOOD.

I'm open to this. It sounds like they really want to make a good film, not just cash in on the nostalgia reboot crowd. Plus, I've never seen Gary Oldman in a film I didn't like, so, fingers crossed.

Shakespeare and Robocop in the same sentence? Could it work? Star crossed lovers. Yes,

Robocop and Juliet.

"Wherefore art thou Clarence Boddicker?"

"He jests at scars that never felt a wound. But, soft! what bullet through yonder window breaks?"

"They'll fix it. They fix everything."

"It is the east, and Juliet is the sun. Dead or alive, she's coming with me."

Yeah, I can see it now.

Umm...in this case you pop in the DVD of the original Robocop and share the "legend". ;-)

Are we really asking " If we don't remake these films, how will people know about them?"?! They're films! They already exist and can be re-watched any time we want. Maybe us remaking things all the time is an old habit learned from the theatre that is no longer necessary. How will anyone ever know about Robocop?!! Go watch the film!! We don't need to remake it in order for you to see it! It already exists!
Having said that, I like the idea of this being a new story in the middle of the old one. That kind of makes it less of a remake.
But the fact that they've already screwed up by naming Robo's creator as Norton instead of Morton? Yeah, [frick] 'em.

Plus Shakespeare doesn't get remade or rebooted or whatever. We don't even update the language let alone the scripts. We just keep doing them. If this was using the same script as the Verhoeven film, then it would be more acceptable. But also, more unnessecary.

IMO theres actually nothing wrong with remakes...if they are done right, for two reasons:

If the original movie or tv show was widely regarded as terrible and it could potentially be improved with a new outlook from a new director or producer (not the case with Robocop)

or if the original property was fantastic the first time around but can be given a fresh new approach i.e. True Grit, King Kong or potentially the new Total Recall (which is going to be closer the original story its based on)

But if its a remake that has nothing new to offer and the original movie was brilliant and remains relevant & fresh to this day (such as The Godfather and a ton of other classics), a remake it is an utter mistake

It remains to be seen if Robocop is an example of the former or the latter. It could be a good idea to remake if the new one has a complete new look to it and could not be linked to the original

or it could be a bad idea, if they mess up what Robocop is all about, we might be glad we have the original movie

it remains to be seen
