"RoboCop" casting

Over the past week or so there has been a new confirmation for the upcoming "Robocop" remake an that is that Samuel L Jackson will play a charismatic TV mogul.
"Jackson will play Pat Novak, a charismatic TV mogul. Most recently, Jackson starred as Nick Fury, but this Christmas he will be reunited with the director who put him on the map, Quentin Tarantino, in Django Unchained. With Robocop, the popular actor can now add yet another high profile blockbuster to his already impressive resume. Jackson is currently Robocop‘s biggest star, yet there are a few other recognisable names in the mix, too."
I'm glad there is such a big name attached to the film now, maybe people will start to take notice of it an it will get more hype.

 I'm not personally a fan of Hugh Laurie, I grew up with his and Stephen Fry's poor sketch show but it looks like he is set to star in "Robocop" also as possibly the main villain?
"House star Hugh Laurie is in negotiations to take on the role of the evil CEO villain in Jose Padilha’s (Elite Squad) reboot of Robocop. Laurie is a great actor who’s got everything it take to play a great villain, I’m surprised he has had more villainous roles in his career."
