posture Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 I tried searching for a topic on this, couldn't find one but I know it's been talked about before. Quote Brazilian director Jose Padilha is in negotiations with MGM to helm the ROBOCOP reboot. Padilha impressed the suits with his crime drama ELITE SQUAD and its sequel that came out in 2010. Both films were in Portuguese and weren't really big here in the states. But ELITE SQUAD 2: THE ENEMY within grossed $60 million in Brazil last year, surpassing films like AVATAR and ALICE IN WONDERLAND in Padilha's home country. Darren Aronofsky has been off and on with this project for awhile now. Everyone seemed excited that he might have the chance to direct, but as soon as he took the next WOLVERINE film that tiny glimmer of hope was erased.

Guest analogue wings Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 Awesome director - just watched Tropa De Elite 2 the other day - but I'd only watch his Robocop remake if they let him move it to Rio and do fucking BOPE-ocop Cos unless you do something fucked like that - what the hell would you change about Robocop? Give him a cellphone? Make buy that for a dollar guy a youtube star instead of a TV star? The studios just want to make money from a new generation who haven't seen the original and they dont seem to get with half of these movies that they could totally just re-release the original with a big marketing campaign and make a huuuuuge margin. It's not like it's in fucking black and white. It's not like any of the shit it comments on has gone away. The ott '80s excess was satirical at the time and you could pass it off as just a weird stylistic depiction of "the future" Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/64265-robocop-remake/#findComment-1529155 Share on other sites More sharing options...

awesomeperson Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 I only watched Elite Squad (aka Tropa de Elite) really good movie but I doubt flamboyant libruls would like it. Have to check the second movie to see if it survived the sequel syndrome. Can't believe Aronofsky is doing a Wolverine movie instead, really curious about the outcome.

Soloman Tump Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 the only remakes should be made by low budget Indian film companies (eg. that amazing Doctor Who clip that was on watmm a few weeks back.

Guest Mirezzi Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 Jose Padilha is a wild card, for sure. I've seen two of his docs, Bus 174 and Secrets of the Tribe, both of which were brilliant. Politically, he's pretty cynical and bleak, so it could work out for a Robocop reboot. Aranofsky doesn't exactly scream perfect fit.

Remakes are part of what is art creation i think art is an erotic relation between the artist and his subject (Lawrence said Delacroix said he painted with his penis). SO when the subject of art is art itself, you end up in the field of intellectual masturbation. can someone name me recent hollywoodian heroes (like indiana jones, robocop, han solo) ?
