Hugh Laurie is in negotiations to play the villain in Robocop, MGM and Sony’s remake of the classic 1987 sci-fi action movie.
Jose Padilha is directing the film, which sees Joel Kinnaman (The Killing) as the title hero, a cop named Alex Murphy who is brought back from the brink of death and turned into a cyborg police officer.
Gary Oldman already has been cast as his scientist-creator and Samuel L. Jackson is playing a media mogul. Laurie will play the evil and ultra-rich CEO of Omnicorp, the company that makes Robocop.
