Robocop - Casting News - Hugh Laurie in negotiations to play villain

13 Jun 2012

Share on Reddit
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.

    Another remake? Come on Hollywood, this is getting ridiculous, I mean I know it has indeed all been done before but at least TRY to come up with something new. But at least Gary Oldman and Samuel L. Jackson are getting work.
