'Robocop' Remake Gets a Teaser Poster!

We knew it was coming, but now they're getting serious -- debuting a brand new Robocop teaser poster at the Licensing International Expo, which also brought us a Terminator Salvation poster and tons of Half-Blood Prince goodies. Of course, Robocop hasn't been cast yet, and so that's not some mysterious A-list actor hiding underneath the helmet. It's just a teaser ... and in this day and age, teasers come well before films even go into production. I'm actually one of those who think a Robocop remake could look cool if done right, and with the popularity of Iron Man now at an all-time high, I could see MGM and the Robocop filmmakers taking notes before heading in a comic book-esque direction with the character and the eventual movie. The poster itself is totally retro, and I dig that about it, so I guess we'll see.
Is Robocop the kind of remake you'd get behind?

I can't get behind this. The original was practically pitch-perfect, why do that story again? I wouldn't mind a sequel though that more or less 'reset' the series, since apparently the original sequels were pretty forgettable. But I don't think there's any need to remake the first one.

Yes, this is so stupid! Saw the first one a few days ago and it's still a great movie, why remake it? Anything is desecrated for a dollar this days.

This looks bad, real bad just based on the poster. It looks like Mr Freeze from Batman & Robin mated with a Cylon... I am sad now

robocop was social satire of USA in the 80's mixed with verhoven's hyper violence , I don't see how a flashy make over could ever recreate the feel or complexity of the original. It's about time to think of some new ideas, and credit audiences with a bit more intelligence than they get
