Movies to dread

According to some leaked script for the new Robocop (the authenticity of which I doubt anyone can vouch for), concerning the suit:

They run through several variations and even focus group a few of them. The first set looks very similar to the original Robocop design, but is rejected because it reminds the focus group of a "toy from the 80s." After that they make it more sleek and black.

I'm assuming this is meant to be a commentary on remakes, but I'm probably giving these people too much credit.

Whoever was in that focus group must not have been a fan of the original Robocop movies. The original suit was, and still is iconic, along with being an instant visual cue for anyone who isn't a fan of the series. Even if they'd updated the suit, while keeping the same look and feel, it would've been a fantastic marketing tool. Not a bastardised version of Shepard's N7 armor.

I think what MrWeatherby means is that the focus group takes place in the movie.

Never should have been adapted. Looks laughably bad. But could just be the way this terrible teaser is cut (Wut is goin ohn?)

The novel was awesome, and they did a pretty good job with the audiobook (yeah ROLLINS!) Too bad they're screwing up the film.

I never finished the novel. Too sporadic for me to feel like I was really engaged with it. But from what I read there were some cool ideas in it.

I read the original J. Michael Straczynski script, and it was really good.

That aside, though, running zombies is fucking stupid.

If you want to watch the movie in 2:24 minutes, watch the trailer. I might watch it when it gets available online just because Abigail Breslin's is a good actress.

This is supposedly for real.

Cost of film: $17,000.
Cost of music licenses in trailer: $5,000,000.

It's already a failure.

Now now, I just watched it *pat pat*. Doesn't look so bad but I haven't read the comic. Doesn't look very original and a bit predictable but the first was the same, yet fun (for me).

EDIT

R.I.P.D trailer - http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=X07xNrVd7DU

No thank you, looks like a waste of money to go see in a theater. I'd rather watch MIB or MIB III.
