SFX Magazine recently spoke to the Robocop himself Joel Kinnaman about the upcoming film, he had some interesting things to say about his casting in the film.
“When I first heard there was gonna be a RoboCop remake, I
thought, ‘Maybe I’ll see that somewhere down the line. But it’s nothing
I’m interested in pursuing myself.’ Then when I heard it was José
Padilha that was gonna direct it, I became very interested. José has
fought very hard and succeeded in making something that has a point of
view, and a political and philosophical perspective.”
Kinnaman also spoke about remaking such a classic film, he doesn't consider it a total remake.
“It’s a great responsibility. Especially in a world where
there’s a lot of remakes being made for cynical economic reasons. But
having José as a director washed away those fears. The biggest respect
you can pay to the original is to acknowledge it as a very intelligent
movie, and try to make something intelligent to follow it up with, and
not just replay old catchphrases. We kept one or two as a wink to the
fans, but we did not try to remake the movie.”
