From AICN... i hope it's not true!!!!
An interesting press release about MGM seems to confirm the studio's interest in a project we'd heard alluded to a while back. It dropped off the radar for a while (we were all hoping this one would just go away), but now, unfortunately, now it's back.
Here's a snippet from the release:
MGM is planning an exciting fall and winter release schedule. In partnership with Sony Pictures Entertainment, MGM will bring new installments of two of its tentpole franchises -- the new James Bond movie QUANTUM OF SOLACE and Steve Martin in PINK PANTHER 2. MGM will also release United Artists' international thriller VALKYRIE, starring Tom Cruise on October 3. With the appointment of Parent, MGM will enter its new phase of evolution by focusing on its major movie franchises highlighted by JAMES BOND and PINK PANTHER sequels, THE HOBBIT, THOMAS CROWN AFFAIR 2, THE OUTER LIMITS, ROBOCOP, DEATH WISH and FAME, among others.
Most of the projects listed here ('cept for maybe OUTER LIMITS...don't know what they're doing with that) are already known, or we've already covered.
BUT...
ROBOCOP!?!?!?!
In the past, we've heard rumblings that a new ROBOCOP movie was feasible...but its blatant inclusion in a press release suggests that maneuverings may be further along than we knew.
Needless to say, it's an extremely safe bet that a resurrected ROBOCOP franchise would be nowhere near as ballsy, edgy, or socially satirical as its source material (especially Verhoeven's film)- our age of hyper-sensitivity and over-amped political correctness would never allow it.

We could use a good Robo movie to make up for Robo 3. A sort of The Dark Knight Returns take on Robo would be sweet, where it's like 20 years in the future and he's struggling with being an aging old relic. Seeing the dynamic and human vs. machine struggle of an aging cyborg cop would be interesting. And he's like out of commission, but then they need to turn to him to defeat something or something like that.

If they do a remake I'm going ED209 on everyone at MGM.
Remaking RoboCop is kind of like remaking Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Jurassic Park, Alien, Terminator, you just cannot do it. Remakes suck, give us something new...
