Sounds interesting, what's important is how they execute the concepts on the script, will watch and tell GAF how wrong or right they were.

what did anyone expect. robocop was shitty, this will also be shitty.
The problem is that robocop 1 was shitty in the awesomest way possible and this will not be that. this will be sad shitty.

Shitty, you are.
Fernando Meireles the guy who directed "City of God" said in an interview to brazilian magazine "Trip" that José Padilha told him that the pre production and filming (starting soon) of the Robocop remake has being the worst experience in his whole life. He said that out of 10 ideas he proposes, 9 are flat out rejected.
If anyone had any doubts this movie is going to suck...

I didn't have much faith in the project, but I still heard good things about the director so I had some hope in that. Sounds like this will be a shitty souless Hollywood PG-13 remake. With maybe an unrated DC to follow that includes crappy CG blood and poorly added swear words.

The original Robocop was already both of those things. Seriously, it had some really interesting social commentary and a very satirical view of the world. While still being wrapped up in an 80's action movie package. It did have its cheesy 80's action moments, make no mistake. But it also had some more intelligible undertones to it as well.
Robocop 2 already did the focus group idea, where they reprogrammed him to be more courteous and friendly. This movie also mentions that Robocop becomes metallic blue in the end too. Which was also something that happened in Robocop 2 for some unexplained reason.
Just like how the old man from the first movie became totally evil in part two for no reason. Even though in part one, he wasn't evil at all. He was naive in thinking that his "Delta City" project really would really make Detroit a better place to live. But that did not make him evil.
Early 90's untill he joined WWF in 1993. He was in NWA before it became WCW.
Actually I can probably answer this.
My guess is that since Robocop was on a test run during the first movie he wasn't 100 percent finalized and it was more of a 'Beta' test. Then I'm assuming after the first movie's aftermath, they re-do his armor to a more upgraded version.
That and the truth behind the scenes is that the costume designer wanted him to 'shine like a car' in the first movie but due to film deadlines and budget restraints he didn't get him to be all shiny and new as he wanted, he fixed this in the second movie, Robo being so damn shiny he is actually reflective in scenes where you can see the Cameraman.
Say what you will about Drew McWeeny but unlike 99% of the bloggers out there he can actually read a script and actually dissect it.
I trust his judgement over some anonymous nobody over at the Super Hero Hype forums*. Certain projects just seem to gain 'negative momentum' that is hard to shift and this prpject feels like this is where it's headed.
I recently read and typed up some stuff on Blomkamp's Elysium script a week or so ago here on GAF so I'll see if any of my sources can hook me up with the Robocop script as well.

.., and yes the irony that I am also an anonymous nobody isn't lost on me.

So "awesome".
Yeah ... it is more like a reimagination of the character, not a remake

No one ever gets the joke in BTiLC no matter who i talk to except for one person in my life. Anyway, Robocop wasnt a cheese fest it was purposefully gory , and had the in your face commercials/media yeah. But its not a low budget pointless fun time , it was a satire/social commentary. Robocop...was perfect , so i guess we shouldnt be surprised because even the perfect sci-fi satire got a sequel.
Well I've scanned through a bit of the actual script and uh...
I'm not going to lie it's a real jumbled mess really.
Honestly IMHO fans of the original will probably be dissapointed.
Here's some HEAVY spoilers
This is just the script though I suppose things will change.

It's HEAVILY family centric, Robocop is heavily emotional seeing as this time they did not wipe out his emotions or clear his memory, he realizes what he is and is angry and emotional and all this and spends most of the movie going on about his family (like Spawn sorta) . He even cries in one scene. This isn't so much a big action movie as it is trying to be Sci-Fi or something.
Oh and there doesn't seem to be any violence...sorry fans of the original. His gun is a TAZER gun and therefore TAZERS a ton of criminals in action sequences. His body is strange that it is blue and looks like a cop uniform and his helmet is see through but when he goes into SWAT Mode he turns into that black suit in the photos and starts TAZERIN THEM CREEPS.

It seems like they are trying to be a parody of society to try and emulate part of the appeal of the original Robocop but they are doing a poor job of it. To be fair though the whole series has had goofy ass shit like this it's not exactly James Cameron's Terminator.

Robocop holds a place near and dear to my heart. When I was a kid, me and my friend went to see this. Theatres were pretty lax on the whole '18 or over' thing back then. We were running late, and we walked in on the infamous ED209 boardroom scene. We couldn't believe what we were watching on the screen.
This remake sounds like a bad idea.

Finished just about reading the ending
Again heavy spoilers
Again heavy spoilers
Gary Oldman's character completely controls Robocop or Murphy along with some chick technician, once Murphy disconnects himself by drilling himself in the head(old movie reference) and taking out the control thing he tries to find out what's going on and who killed him, turns out the company hired this guy to kill him then their own mercenaries to destroy his limbs, he can recreate crimes with his computer and does so and later when he discards his taser gun he uses a 44 magnum to try to fight off a bunch of ED-209's and other military drones.
Like the original movie he gets badly beaten by The ED's but this time rather than the cops firing on him they help him destroy the ED's. Finally he confronts Gary Oldman and kills him. The bad people get put in prison and OMNI Corp execs get thrown in jail. OMNI gets bankrupt til their yes...parent company OCP (with old logo) come in to take over. The Govt steps in to repair Robocop the best they can and he confronts his wife again this time explaining blah blah blah he can't be with her he'll protect her and gives her his blessing to go with the now Male; Jack Lewis. Jack Lewis raises his son and loves his wife while Murphy stays on the streets patroling. And they even give him his own statue

I hope he's on 4G and gets free roaming, any time minutes and no throttling.
They show his brains, organs and spine in this movie, in some gelatin fluid.
