The lion is getting ready to roar once again with a half cyborg crime-fighter and the prospect of a remake done right. Will the new RoboCop bring all of the over-the-top violence of the original? We can only hope.

According to Deadline MGM is negotiating with Brazilian director Jose Padilha to direct RoboCop, the remake of the futuristic 1987 film originally helmed by Paul Verhoeven.

The original was about a cop who was near death and was drafted to become a powerful cyborg cop, until suppressed memories of his past life come back to haunt him. Peter Weller played the character in the original and the 1990 sequel.

All we know? We want more of this drippy fellow below! More soon!
