Robocop Remake Script Has Been Eviscerated

HitFix’s Drew McWeeny has read the Robocop remake’s script, and ripped it to shreds over on his Twitter. Longtime internet geeks will remember when McWeeny, writing as Moriarty, famously destroyed JJ Abrams’ shitty Superman script over on AICN. Here are some of the gems he showed off from what will probably be one of the worst movies of the decade:

I’ll share this one detail. In the film, when Murphy is turned into Robocop 1.0, it’s described “a high-tech version of the ’80s suit.”

Then they show a focus group scene where criminals laugh at the design. “He looks like a toy from the ’80s!”

So they redesign him to look “meaner” as Robocop 2.0, who passes focus group approval.

So they not only make sure to include the original design, they also point out it’s dated and stupid. *facepalm*

“He should be programmed to incapacitate in all scenarios.” “Agreed. Let’s keep him PG-13, Dr. Norton.” No. No. No. No.

Oh, god… oh dear god… Robocop is a Transformer. He goes from “social mode” to “combat mode” and back. Full transformation.

Someone shows Pope, head of the OCP project, some mock-ups for Robocop action figures. “Are you kidding? I wouldn’t buy that for a dollar!”

“I think it’s safe to say that Alex Murphy is now part man, part machine, ALL COP!” Yes, I too remember the original poster, asshat.

When this thing hits theaters, people are going to call up Len Wiseman’s “Total Recall” on the phone and apologize for being so mean.

Attention Hollywood: STOP REMAKING SCIENCE FICTION MOVIES. STOP IT. NOW.
