Does the world want a younger, prettier Robocop? Apparently MGM does as Twitch has learned that the Star Trek actor is the studio's top choice to take the lead in the upcoming reboot of the scifi franchise. There is no word as to whether director Jose Padilha agrees with the selection and the offer has not yet gone out but we're told Pine currently tops the MGM casting list.
Rest In Peace Review: This gripping thriller will captivate you from start to finish, leaving you pondering the boundaries between right and wrong long after the credits roll.
Inspector Rishi Review: Amazon Prime Video's horror-mystery series, starring Naveen Chandra, is mysterious and thrilling, as promised.
Testament The Story of Moses Review: The series depicts Moses' journey from an outcast and murderer to a prophet and liberator of the Hebrews. It interweaves docudrama and interviews, to present a more humanly image of the prophet.
Chris Pine is a decent choice for this role I think. He's young and can portray an attitude that kinda goes along with the arrogance and cockiness of the original Murphy.
I liked Robo Cop and Pine as good as any. At his age he's just right for the part in case they want a sequel, which you know if they make money they will.
As long as Robocop himself doesn't look like something out of West Coast Customs (which I fear Hollywood would do), he should be alright.
