 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.

The Pentagon and the Avengers Movie?

  The U.S. Military often works with blockbuster movies by having the latest vehicles appear on the big screen with the stars. The Pentagon quit working with Marvel’s The Avengers. Why? The Defense Department thought one element of the story was too unrealistic. Was it the Norse Gods, alien armada or the Hulk? It was the film’s treatment of military bureaucracy according to a new story in Wired.com.

  SHIELD is an international peacekeeping force led by Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson.) The organization doesn’t have a direct relationship with the United States – its more of a global agency. In the film, Fury reports to a Council which appears to be made up of members from various nations. That ambiguity is what made the U.S. Military not participate.

“We couldn’t reconcile the unreality of this international organization and our place in it,” Phil Strub, the Defense Department’s Hollywood liaison, tells Danger Room. “To whom did S.H.I.E.L.D. answer? Did we work for S.H.I.E.L.D.? We hit that roadblock and decided we couldn’t do anything” with the film.

For the entire story here’s the Wired.com link. 

The film is a good recruiting movie for SHIELD if you can fit in the suits! Here’s hoping a SHIELD movie with Jackson, Cobie Smulders and new agents might happen.
