New Writer Takes Aim at RoboCop Remake

By Uncle Creepy
February 1st, 2012

We know all about it, man. You're sitting there thinking to yourself, "Wow, I wish we had an update concerning that Robocop remake." Your prayers have been answered!

According to The Hollywood Reporter, MGM has hired Gran Torino screenwriter Nick Schenk to work on the screenplay for RoboCop for director Jose Padilha.

MGM has been developing a new take on the RoboCop franchise, which launched with the 1987 film directed by Paul Verhoeven, for years. The studio is hoping for a summer start, but no one has yet been cast in the title role. Excited?

Look for more on this one soon.
