BY MICHAEL GOODPASTER
I was a casual fan of RoboCop back in the day, but never got too into him. I was weary about them making a remake, but once I realized it wasn’t being done by Michael Bay I was completely okay with it. The casting of Joel Kinnaman as Alex aka RoboCop gets me excited. I’m a fan of the dude’s work on “The Killing” and really dig they’re going with someone who is not a big household name. Kinnaman is a solid actor and could prove to be great for this movie and potential franchise relaunch. He’s going to only get more famous so growing with the franchise would rock.This movie has one of the best casts I’ve seen on paper in a really long time. When you put names like Gary Oldman, Michael Keaton, Samuel L. Jackson, Abbie Cornish, Jackie Earle Haley, Jay Baruchel, and Aimee Garcia on list it’s hard not to take notice. The trailer looks cool. The action and style has a grit to it and I imagine the movie will be pretty edgy and fun. Good mindless action movies are hard to find these days. This could be THAT movie.
