'Chronicle' could have been a video-game movie. The original 'RoboCop' and the remake could have come from video games.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When I first heard 'Robocop' was going to be remade. I said, 'Yeah, that's interesting. I'll probably watch that at some point, but I'm not interested at all to be in it.'
I liked 'Robocop' because of the director, and it was an intelligent, big-action studio movie.
What we did wrong on 'RoboCop,' we just did something new and didn't really take into account what the fans really loved about the original.
The original 'RoboCop' was X-rated, and then they had to cut it down so it became R-rated, and Verhoeven claimed that actually made the movie more violent, because it's what you don't see that actually scares you.
RoboCop the first movie was fantastic. But even if there was no movie, the concept of RoboCop is brilliant, first because it lends itself to a lot of social criticism, but also because it poses a question, 'When do you lose your humanity?'
I was surprised that the TV series was popular itself, but after that it went on to become more popular over the years and thus it seemed eventually that they would turn it into a movie.
I think I've seen the first 'RoboCop' like 15 or 20 times. I'm like a kid that way.
Rather than just making a movie about video games, I wanted to start with the character and what the character was going through.
'RoboCop' was maybe the best summer of my entire life.
I love the sharpness and political tone of RoboCop and I think that such a film is now urgently needed.
