Another Screenwriter Takes Their Best Shot At Robocop’s Reboot
MGM remains insistent that a ROBOCOP reboot is the smart thing to do, and, even though no one’s been able to crack it to their liking so far to make it work, they haven’t given up trying. The Hollywood Reporter reports that Nick Schenk (GRAN TORINO) has been hired to work on the script in [...]
Robocop’s Got A Role In The Star Trek Sequel
Are you as sick as I am about how J.J. Abrams just has to keep everything a secret about his movies? Quentin Tarantino is arguably a better filmmaker than Abrams, but he doesn’t give two shits about secrecy. Hell, I bet you can piece together the entire fucking movie based on casting news alone (There’s [...]
Infamous Radio: Episode 5 – Order Of The Phoenix
For Episode 5 of Infamous Radio, myself, Raven McCoy and Jon Doe rack their collective brains to figure out just who spent their money on Adam Sandler’s JACK AND JILL. They also have reactions to the first trailers for THE HUNGER GAMES and SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN. In addition, the InfamousKidd.com crew share their [...]
Michael Fassbender Is Being Considered For RoboCop
Isn’t Michael Fassbender one talented guy? I mean, he literally the stole X-MEN: FIRST CLASS from James McAvoy and nailed possibly the most bad-ass Magneto next to Ian McKellen. And next he has a crazy cool Steve McQueen flick SHAME coming out that looks more than amazing, and of course he’s working with Ridley Scott [...]
Jose Padilha Is Going To Give Us An Existential RoboCop
I barely remember ROBOCOP in my youth. As a child, RoboCop was one bad-ass mofo, not because he was good cop, but because he was a friggin’ cop with machinery built in. That captured the hell out of my imagination when I was a kid. I mean, he’s a good cop and he’s also part [...]
The Kidd’s 10 Most Wanted – Movie Robots That Could Kick My Ass In A Fight
I’m well aware that one day, the machines are going to become aware, and that includes robots, and the battle will be on for the survival of the human race. Now while I’d prefer to crawl into a dark corner, weeping like a small child, with my eyes closed waiting for the inevitable, my natural instinct [...]
José Padilha Doesn’t Want His Robocop Remake To Be A Copy Of Verhoeven’s Original
The success and quality of a remake usually lies in the hands of the talent they acquire to handle it. Although it’s still pretty far from production, the ROBOCOP remake has a director. Brazilian director José Padilha will be taking on the remake of the Paul Verhoeven film about a good cop who is turned [...]

In honor of the release of FINAL DESTINATION 5, Amsterdam Vallon counts down the list of Hollywood’s 10 Most Awesome Movie Deaths
MGM Is Gearing Up For The Robocop Reboot Again
I will admit that, as horrible as it sounds, there was a small part of me that was happy back when MGM was facing some serious financial difficulties, because it meant that a ROBOCOP reboot had stalled, and eventually Darren Aronofsky would get tired of waiting around and move onto other shit, and the concept [...]
Darren Aronofsky Explains The Collapse Of The Robocop Reboot
The ROBOCOP reboot was one of the big projects MGM was looking to get behind, but because of their financial issues, eventually the weight of that metallic cyborg suit and the budget that came with it was too much for the studio to really back. As they suffer through their woes, the plug was eventually [...]
The RoboCop Reboot Looks Pretty Dead
Let’s come right out and say it… ROBOCOP is awesome. There is no getting around the fact that the original 1987 film is a truly bad-ass movie. The idea of a reboot – not so much. However, that didn’t stop from MGM from hiring director Darren Aronofsky to breathe some new life into the franchise [...]
