Event Report: RoboCop: 25th Anniversary Screening
14 May 2012 4:31 PM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
The mid-1980s and early 1990s were a big time for the film industry in Dallas, TX. I would say it was the most prosperous in the city’s history. The Studios at Las Colinas were booming with business from movie productions like Silkwood, Talk Radio, and more.
One of the biggest and most celebrated films to come out of the Dallas area during this period was Paul Verhoeven’s RoboCop.
The Dallas International Film Festival (Diff) used their 2012 event as the perfect time to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the release of RoboCop. The celebration took place at the historic Texas Theatre where police caught Lee Harvey Oswald after the JFK shooting. The establishment now features some first run screenings but focuses on independent projects, special events, and revivals of old movies.
A red carpet walk by members of the cast and crew of the movie kicked off the event. »

RoboCop Remake Attracting Big Names
14 April 2012 11:38 AM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
While no one other than RoboCop himself, Joel Kinnaman (The Darkest Hour, "The Killing"), has been officially cast as of yet, there are some big names circling the upcoming remake of the 1987 Paul Verhoeven classic. Read on for details.
According to The Tracking Board, Edward Norton (Fight Club, American History X, The Incredible Hulk), Sean Penn (Mystic River, Milk), Rebecca Hall (The Town), and Gael Garcia Bernal (Babel) are being considered for roles in the new flick touted as showing off a more human side to the titular character.
Norton, if cast, would actually be playing “Norton” – a key scientist behind the RoboCop program. Bernal would be playing Murphy’s former partner who begins hooking up with Hall (Murphy’s “widow”) after they both think he’s dead. Penn is being considered for the role of “Novack”, a highly political right-wing reporter. Penn right-wing? Talk about movie magic!

Sean Penn, Edward Norton Said to be Circling RoboCop Remake
13 April 2012 12:16 PM, PDT | CinemaSpy | See recent CinemaSpy news »
With the recent casting of Joel Kinnaman (The Killing) as Alex Murphy/RoboCop in the forthcoming RoboCop, there has been plenty of speculation about who would round out the rest of the cast for director Jose Padilha’s remake.
It seems the plan may be to surround Kinnaman with major Hollywood talent, a proven strategy for over 30 years now when it comes to box office appeal. According to Tracking-Board, Edward Norton, Gael Garcia Bernal (Babel), Rebecca Hall (The Town) and Sean Penn are in talks to join the cast.
If cast, Norton will play a character also named “Norton”, a brilliant mastermind behind bringing RoboCop to life.
Bernal would likely play Jack Lewis, Alex Murphy’s handsome police partner who eventually begins a relationship with Murphy’s former wife, to be played by Hall.
Meanwhile, Sean Penn may end up in the role of Novack, a right-wing news reporter. »

Edward Norton, Sean Penn & More Wanted For ‘RoboCop’ Reboot
13 April 2012 8:27 AM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
Elite Squad series helmer José Padilha and The Killing star Joel Kinnaman have already spent a lot of time propping up their RoboCop reboot as a worthwhile endeavor, highlighting everything from the eponymous character’s updated costume to the contemporary sci-fi issues and ethical dilemmas that are going to be addressed in the film. However, that hasn’t been enough to get the majority of hardcore cinephiles on their side… yet.
A fresh batch of casting rumors for the new RoboCop have surfaced, suggesting the people behind this flick (including, Children of Men co-producers Marc Abraham and Eric Newman) are aiming for quality, rather than simply big name appeal. In case you didn’t pick up on that after critically-acclaimed folk like Padilha and Kinnaman were previously enlisted to direct and headline the movie, that ...

New RoboCop to Be More Human than You, Man
26 March 2012 5:48 PM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
More news on the redux of RoboCop has come in, this time discussing the route being taken to bring the titular character to life ... or artificial life ... or whatever it is that they do with half-human cyborgs.
Sony Pictures will be distributing MGM's RoboCop, a remake of the 1987 Paul Verhoeven-directed science fiction film that will star Joel Kinnaman (pictured right) in the role originated by Peter Weller. The film’s being directed by Jose Padilha, helmer of the two Elite Squad films. Strike Entertainment partners Eric Newman and Marc Abraham are producing. Josh Zetumer wrote the script.
Kinnaman told MTV, "'RoboCop' is going to be a lot more human. The first movie is one of my favorite movies. I love it. Of course, Verhoeven has that very special tone, and it’s not going to have that tone. It’s a re-imagination of it. There’s a »

Matthijs van Heijningen Jr interview: directing The Thing, and practical versus CG effects
20 March 2012 6:56 AM, PDT | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »
As icy sci-fi horror prequel The Thing gets its home release, we speak to director Matthijs van Heijningen Jr about its writing, shooting and effects…
Following John Carpenter’s out-and-out classic The Thing would be a daunting task for any director. Since its release in 1982, the film’s gained a revered status, with its sublime mixture of Dean Cundey’s cinematography, Ennio Morricone’s murmuring bassline and Rob Bottin’s special effects still standing up remarkably well even 30 years later.
When Universal sought to continue the legacy of The Thing as a potential franchise, thawing out a property that has, like the shape-shifting beast of the title, lain dormant for some time, it’s to the studio’s credit that it didn’t attempt to make some sort of PG-13 blockbuster to win over the multiplex crowd.
Instead, producers Marc Abraham and Eric Newman were given the latitude to pursue the same downbeat, »
Finally a Date for When the New RoboCop Will Roll Off of the Assembly Line

Freeze! Don't move! Put your hands above your head, and get down on your knees. The redux of RoboCop has a release date. Directive 4 has been cancelled. Thank you for your cooperation. Excuse me, I have to go. Somewhere there is a crime happening.
Sony Pictures will be distributing MGM's RoboCop, a remake of the 1987 Paul Verhoeven-directed science fiction film that will star Joel Kinnaman (pictured right) in the role originated by Peter Weller. The film’s being directed by Jose Padilha, helmer of the two Elite Squad films. Strike Entertainment partners Eric Newman and Marc Abraham are producing. Josh Zetumer wrote the script.
RoboCop has been following a fast track since MGM landed "The Killing"'s Kinnaman, who starred in Snabba Cash as well as The Darkest Hour and turned in a small but memorable role opposite Denzel Washington and Ryan Reynolds in Safe House.

Wow, 'RoboCop' Has A Release Date! I Guess It's Actually Happening!
9 March 2012 3:53 PM, PST | bloody-disgusting.com | See recent Bloody-Disgusting.com news »
The Jose Padilha directed remake of Robocop is fast becoming a reality! The original film about about a cop who was near death and was drafted to become a powerful cyborg cop is so iconic - and so good that part of me just didn't process that this was happening. Part of me feels that there's almost no way they can get this right and they should just leave Paul Verhoeven's 1987 original alone. I don't often say that - I usually have a pretty open mind about remakes - but I'm concerned. Stuff we already knew? Strike Entertainment partners Eric Newman and Marc Abraham are producing. Josh Zetumer wrote the script. Joel Kinnaman has been cast in the lead role originated by Peter Weller. Sony will distribute the MGM film »

6 March 2012 6:59 AM, PST | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
MGM began making serious plans to produce a RoboCop series reboot/remake as far back as 2008, but it was one of several titles sideswiped by the studio’s bankruptcy woes in 2010. Since then, the project has landed back on track and now has a firmly-set director (José Padilha) and lead actor (Joel Kinnaman) aboard, along with a tentative Summer 2012 start date for principal photography.

RoboCop is just the latest collaboration between Sony and MGM, alongside upcoming titles like this month’s 21 Jump Street and the new James Bond movie Skyfall.
