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?

Either MGM is engaging in wishful thinking, or we're getting a new Robocop movie.

A recent press release from the studio listed a whole bunch of future projects, many of which weren't too surprising -- their list of franchises-to-be includes The Hobbit, Outer Limits, Death Wish, and the shocker of Robocop

I highly doubt this will be another sequel, but will instead be a full fledged remake. I also doubt they'll dare to make something like Paul Verhoven's blood-soaked satire --
which philosophers wrote on and originally was X-rated. Nothing in Hollywood carries an "originally X-rated" label any more. A remake will probably have most of the bullets, half the blood, and a really rocking soundtrack. I can't think of an actor who everyone would scream in horror upon being cast, so maybe you can help me out and name a few.

It truly is a renaissance of 80's cinema. I half expect to walk out of my house and see everyone wearing leg warmers. It is really beginning to scare me -- I thought you were supposed to be well into old age before the past caught up with you. I am fully expecting to see a remake of Commando or Lethal Weapon by the time I am thirty.
