Jack Aubrey Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 The title of this thread is meant to be read with a very sarcastic intonation. Anyway, I got an e-mail from a buddy today directing my attention to this article in 'Variety' with instructions to pay attention to this paragraph which I'll copy and paste so you don't have to wade through it (emphasis added by me): QUOTE According to MGM, the studio has the funds for an aggressive production push. That includes the $500 million in UA's Merrill Lynch money that could be accessed as MGM and UA partner on films like "Thomas Crown Affair 2" "Outer Limits" and "Robocop." On its own, MGM has a $450 million credit facility with JPMorgan that it hasn't yet tapped. Now I'm with them on 'Thomas Crown 2' (with high hopes that the lovely and gracious Rene Russo will reprise her role and perhaps reprise a certain very memorable scene, but I digress [hey, I'm male. Back off.]) and an 'Outer Limits' movie could rock hard if they did it anthology style like the 'Twilight Zone' movie, but 'Robocop'?! It's a damned classic! I mean, could they possibly find anyone who could out-deadpan Kurtwood Smith while delivering the immortal line "B*tches leave"? I think not. Enough with the remakes already! (I'm getting real tired of saying that.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Owl Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 At least it's not another horror re-make Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReRushed Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 If there was a list of movies NOT to remake, Robocop would be on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rushman14 Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Robocop is classic and should not be touched. I just read they are remaking Andromeda Strain. That could be cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kill bill 3...The Resurrection. Have you ever seen the deleted scenes from First Blood? There is one where John Rambo kills himself. My brother loves First Blood and he thinks they should not have deleted that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would you change about the first? * Replace John Malkovich by Ron Perlman. * Include a religious debate somewhere; the climax of this debate would be symbolized by some random-ass character taking off his rosary beads, and loading his gun. * Include female genitalia. * Extend the Vegas showdown at the end. * Movie ends with western-styled gunfight between Cage and Perlman; before the shootout, Cage will lecture Perlman about the aesthetics and technicalities of using a gun, similar to what Solid Snake did to Major Ocelot in Metal Gear Solid : Snake Eater.
