Dann bleibt nur zu hoffen, dass der Bösewicht da nicht ständig so einen Anzug mit Helm trägt (hab das Original nie gesehen). Wär ja schade drum.

Hugh Laurie Will NOT Be In ROBOCOP

Two months ago Variety reported that actor Hugh Laurie was in negotiations to play a villain in the upcoming remake of Robocop, but now sources say talks have ceased.
nailbiter111 - 8/23/2012

In June Variety reported that Hugh Laurie was in negotiations to play, "the cold, sarcastic CEO of Omni Corp, which creates the title character." That lead many to assume that it was for the role of Dick Jones, which was played by Ronny Cox in the original 1987 film. But now Variety's Jeff Sneider is reporting that Laurie has pulled out of negotiations.

Schade!

Aber da man ja alles positiv sehen soll... vielleicht ist ja ein viiiiel besseres, cooleres Projekt "in die Quere" gekommen!
Hey, und wir Mädels müssen uns im Kino nicht in einen Männerfilm quälen. Ok, das erste Argument gefällt mir dann doch deutlich besser! *hoff*
