Some more news on this via Coming Soon:

In a follow-up to Wednesday's article on the displays at the Licensing International Expo 2008 in New York this week, scooper 'Compi716' sent us this note about the new RoboCop movie:

I was at the Licensing Show today, and I made sure to ask the MGM guy about 'RoboCop.' He said it is 100% going to be rated R, and, "It's going to blow everyone away. They've offered it to some really great directors. I can't say who, but wow." Sounds interesting.

Meanwhile, MTV has posted the logos that Marvel Studios has on display here. Included are Iron Man II, Thor, The First Avenger: Captain America and The Avengers.

More displays for Angels & Demons and Where the Wild Things Are can be found here, while Ain't It Cool News has more posters for Monsters vs. Aliens, How to Train Your Dragon and Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs here and Ranger's Apprentice and G.I. Joe here.

It's a good start, hopefully those at the top are going to take the franchise more seriously than previous instalments. I'd love to know if they've offered it to Verhoeven though, it wasn't so long ago that he talking about reviving the franchise, so I still hold hope that a deal could be struck.

[JohnC]

With that, I'm suddenly interested.

[Chadruharazzeb]

If Verhoeven takes over then I just hope he just makes Another Robocop Story instead of remaking his masterpiece.

[Eighthours]

Some of the TV edits. (Doesn't have the "Why me?!" one unfortunately.)

Fantastic! Anyone know any links for other amazing tv edits of 80s action films? I remember Aliens having some excellent edits

Haha, I'd never heard that "...a lot worse" edit before. Magic.

For dubbing, the Scarface one is pretty good:

"Where'd you get that beauty scar, tough guy? Eating pineapple?"

[Vemsie]

I'd love to see Neumeier and Verhoeven do this, as they're a great team. And yes, I definitely prefer a new Robocop story over a remake.

I'm usually optimistic, but not so much in this case.

In hopes of getting support for the upcoming "Robocop" remake, MGM has been handing out pamphlets highlighting some strong points of why it is a good idea to invest in this movie. Below are the two pages from the pamphlet.

In the original film, the story revolves around Officer Alex Murphy, who is rebuilt as the cyborg RoboCop after being shot and left for dead by a vicious gang of criminals. Murphy is pronounced dead, but is then rebuilt as a cyborg who has the hardware of a robot but the instincts of a police officer.

Whether this will be a continuation, a remake or a re-imagining is still unknown. The goal is to have the film ready for theaters by 2010.

[Smitty]

Alarms going off.

[McFly]

Licensing opportunites? Like Games, books that stype of shite? Or product placement things?

Anyway Robocop 2 is on tonight on C5

[JohnC]

Hang on, Target demo: Male 18+

It's a start.

[JohnC]

[stellar12]

What are they making him a fucking Cylon now?

[Vemsie]

I hope that they do re-make Robocop only this time remember not to make it shit.

Ban request.

[Space Renegade Ulala]

Vemsie, blow this cocksucker's head off.

[Kryptonian]

2 successful sequels?

The 18+ demographic sounds good but the merchandising bit points more towards PG-13.

[Landshead]

Do they even make 18 certificate Sci-fi films anymore?

Verhoeven and Cronenberg seem to have given up with the genre, i'd love to see another one by either of these directors.

[Campfire_Burning]

Didn't the Robocop kids costume have red cellophane for a visor, just like that picture?

[McFly]

Vemsie, blow this cocksucker's head off.

I wonder if he can fly to?

[Monkeyboy]

I hope that they do re-make Robocop only this time remember not to make it shit.

I rarely rise to troll bait, but you're wrong. Not right. Wrong. Imagine a man called Wrong McWrong. He's sitting in a house of Wrong, sipping a new drink called "Wrong", whilst reading The Daily Wrong. That's you. That's you all over. You are Mr Wrong McWrong.

Robocop is up there with Commando, Predator and Die Hard (and, most recently, Rambo) as one of

The Most Amazing and Awesome Action Movies Ever Made.

I shall hear no ill spake of it.

I had Robocop figures when I was a kid. Toys were being made for kids back with the original.

Warn Level Raised.

I've observed you acting in a manner which is unhealthy for the forum and yourself, frankly I'm shocked. Please seek help.

Looks like I missed out there too then. No Mouse Trap, no Mr Frosty, no Robocop Action Figure. Thanks parents.

[Spacehost]

You could get all sorts of badassness. I never did, though, until Robocop: The Series figures came out.

Remaking Robocop could be a complete disaster. It's the first film I remember watching, though, so maybe I'm biased.

[Chosty]

'Unstoppable franchise'

'Merchandising opportunity'

'A Major Consumer Products Program'

'Licensing opportunities available worldwide'

Oh God, the irony!

I'm making a citizen's ban. 3 days.
