A RoboCop remake may be in the offing, but it’ll be quite different from the 80s original, says director José Padilha.
It’s been known for some time now that Elite Squad director José Padilha is set to remake Paul Verhoeven’s 1987 classic, RoboCop. Up until now, not a great deal has been said about what direction his take on the film will go in, but Padilha recently spoke briefly about his RoboCop to the Dutch website, Film1.
“I love the sharpness and political tone of RoboCop,” Padilha, said, pointing out just how sly and intelligently made the original was, beneath all the violence. Not everyone will necessarily agree with what he had to say next, though: “I think that such a film is now urgently needed.”
Nevertheless, Padilha insists that his RoboCop won’t be a straightforward remake, but a film that explores rather different issues from the original.
“I will not repeat what Verhoeven did so clearly and strongly,” Padilha continued. “Instead, I will try to make a film that will address topics that Verhoeven didn’t cover. What is the difference between humans and robots? What is free will? What does it mean to lose your free will? Those are the issues that I think.”
Padilha’s RoboCop won’t be out until some time in 2013, so expect lots more snippets of information to trickle in regarding it over the coming months.Source URL: https://wallpaperhelenmiren.blogspot.com/2011/10/robocop-remake-update.html
