Hugh Laurie (House) is in talks to play the villain the Robocop remake according to Heat Vision. Laurie will play the ruthless head of the company that created Robocop. Joel Kinnaman (The Killing) plays the heroic cop turned cyborg. Gary Oldman (The Dark Knight Rises) plays the creator. Samuel L. Jackson plays a media mogul.
In the original I loved the villain Clarence Boddicker played with ruthless glee by Kurtwood Smith. No word if that character will be in th remake.
Marvel and Dark Horse both produced comics based on Robocop.
