Robocop remake: Yes or No?

[Dr. Strange]

Poll question: Robocop remake: Yes or No?

Should there be a remake of Robocop?

[jus_the_facts]

1. FUCK NO...I swear there's no more imagination anymore....

....can't these idiots come up with anything original these daze?! :nopity:

[HughBeaumont]

2. I'd buy THAT fer a Doller!

Actually, no remakes for me. Original ideas, please. I don't feel like partying like it's 1987.

3. no more remakes plzkthxbai

[Solon]

4. Oh fuck no, the Original was great, they will just fuck it up...

especially considering they may muck up the themes of the original film(dumbing down of media, privatization of law enforcement). The movie itself was prophetic in many ways, and there is no way in hell that this will translate into a remake.

I've always seen plenty of stick-poking in that movie

Didn't they have a car advertised at 5 MPG? And who can forget "Nuke 'Em"? I totally wanted that game when I was 9.

8. The 6000 S U X

6. DOUBLE POST D00M

[Bryan]

5. As it happens, yes

It's being directed by Darren Aronofsky of Pi and Requiem For a Dream fame. That alone moves it from "Do Not Want" territory to "That's So Crazy, It Just Might Work" country.

10. Hmmm, if Aronofsky's directing, there just might be hope for it.

I'm surprised it's not Michael Bay's next project.

7. When was a remake ever good?

[Bryan]

14. It's been known to happen

John Carpenter's The Thing, David Cronenberg's The Fly, Philip Kaufman's Invasion of the Body Snatchers-maybe Aronosky can pull it off in similar fashion.

[Rob H.]

9. No thanks

The only way in which it could benefit would be more up-to-date special effects versus the stop-motion ED-209 of the original.

[bridgit]

11. Nah, that deck was played out well enough in the 1st round

[montanto]

12. I think we've passed peak film.

Its just gonna get shittier and more expensive.

[Mojambo]

13. I didn't think the original was all that great. I'd be up for a remake. n/t

[Forkboy]

15. Aranofsky is doing it. It might be interesting.
