Wow, ‘RoboCop’ Has A Release Date! I Guess It’s Actually Happening!

 Wow, RoboCop Has A Release Date! I Guess Its Actually Happening!

The Jose Padilha directed remake of RoboCop is fast becoming a reality! The original film about about a cop who was near death and was drafted to become a powerful cyborg cop is so iconic – and so good that part of me just didn’t process that this was happening. Part of me feels that there’s almost no way they can get this right and they should just leave Paul Verhoeven’s 1987 original alone. I don’t often say that – I usually have a pretty open mind about remakes – but I’m concerned.

Stuff we already knew? Strike Entertainment partners Eric Newman and Marc Abraham are producing. Josh Zetumer wrote the script. Joel Kinnaman has been cast in the lead role originated by Peter Weller. Sony will distribute the MGM film.

The news today is that the film will be released on August 9th, 2013. That’s when we’ll have the new model of RoboCop. Feels weird, doesn’t it? READ MORE

MGM Serving Adam Green’s ‘Killer Pizza’

 MGM Serving Adam Greens Killer Pizza

MGM is in talks to acquire Killer Pizza, an Adam Green (Hatchet, Hatchet II, Frozen) spec script adaptation of the Greg Taylor book about a 14-year old boy who lands a summer job at a pizza joint that is actually a front for a monster hunting enterprise. Sounds like Lover Boy with monsters! Green talked to Bloody about the film last August.

Talks are underway for Rafaella De Laurentiis to produce with 1492 Pictures and CJ Entertainment. 1492 Entertainment’s Chris Columbus brought it to MGM after meeting with the brass there and sensing the studio’s appetite for Gremlins and Goonies-type fare, and Killer Pizza fit that bill. READ MORE
