Just a few days ago Peter wrote about how Hugh Laurie dropped out as the villain in the Robocop reboot and how the foreign director Jose Padhila is having an awful time working within the studio system. Well I’m sure this movie is going to be a trainwreck, but it’s going to be a trainwreck with Michael Keaton. Michael Keaton is replacing Hugh Laurie in the soon-to-be-filmed Robocop film.
I like that. Haven’t seen him as a villain since Extreme Measures, so theres 15 year olds who have no idea he can do bad just as well as he can be awesome and good.
We really need more Michael Keaton. I thought his Toy Story 3 role and his role in the Other Guys (he was great in both) in 2010 would kick off his resurgence, but that didn’t really happen. Maybe this time!
