In the fashion of hip Hollywood writers block, yet another cult classic is being remade with the gull of unnecessary modernization. Director  Jose Padilha supposedly revealed his “hell” to good friend Fernando Meirelles (City of God). Speaking to Cinemacom Rapadura (via ScreenCrush), Meirelles said: “I talked to José Padilha for a week by phone. He will begin filming Robocop. He is saying that it is the worst experience. For every 10 ideas he has, 9 are cut. Whatever he wants, he has to fight… ‘This is hell here,’ he told me. ‘The film will be good, but I never suffered so much and do not want to do it again.’ He is bitter, but it’s a fighter.” The contemporary Robobop suit has hit the net to much criticism. “In RoboCop, the year is 2029 and multinational conglomerate OmniCorp is at the center of robot technology. Their drones are winning American wars around the globe and now they want to bring this technology to the home front,” reads the official plot synopsis. “Alex Murphy is a loving husband, father and good cop doing his best to stem the tide of crime and corruption in Detroit. After he is critically injured in the line of duty, OmniCorp utilises their remarkable science of robotics to save Alex’s life. “He returns to the streets of his beloved city with amazing new abilities, but with issues a regular man has never had to face before.”  Joel Kinnaman plays the self-titled lead (LINK) in the Paul Verhoeven remake, with Gary Oldman playing the scientist who masterminds RoboCop, and Samuel L Jackson as media mogul Pat Novak. While I’ll leave you to decide for yourself…for my money, things are looking a little…for lack of a better term…rusty for the dystopian officer.
