Dan Stevens cast as RoboCop in Prime Video series
Dan Stevens has been cast as Robocop in the live-action ‘ROBOCOP’ TV series. (Source: Deadline)
Gerhalt6TV series? Cool! I hope they do 2 hours of plot stretched out over 10 hours with tedious filler flashbacks, made with a quarter of the budget a 2 hour movie would have had, then whiff the ending so they can maybe do season 2 in 2030.
OffRail14The second live action Robocop series. No one remembers the early 90’s series.
Aaron Marohl2Ok. I'm in on that
Dutchie1Downton Abbey Edwardian-era aristocrat Legion psychedelically fractured-mind mutant Robocop cyborg in future dystopia. It's like he's trying to get #typecast
ryanhebing.bsky.social1Nope. I'm done with nostalgia
thegreatkate.bsky.social1Will he keep the mustache?
General Boles14He’s going to arrest criminals in a downtown alley
Eric Goldman7As wary as I am of trying yet another version of RoboCop, when only the original movie has managed to get it right, this is casting that has me excited.
Ashpolt5Let's hope they can at least get the costume right unlike certain other adaptations
deenom2This will be the fifth RoboCop TV series, and the third live-action one. Will it be better than the preceding?
Ben Williams2That’s now both my exceptions to “the next Doctor must be a woman” now busy with other TV shows. Now the BBC have NO excuse not to cast a woman. Stevens and Jonsson were the only men I was pushing for.
Future Bat2No sé si recordáis (los más jóvenes que me seguís obviamente no), pero en los 90 ya hubo, no una, si no 2 series de Robocop: Una animada y otra de acción real. Ninguna de las dos respetaba el espíritu de la de Verhoeven
Ed Jefferson2Finally we will find out what it would be like if they turned a cop into a robot
RoboCop is coming back online with a new TV series at Prime Video. Dan Stevens will play RoboCop. James Wan produces. A tech conglomerate convinces the city to place a powerful robot on its police force – a robot implanted with the consciousness of a fallen officer.
Walker Riley22i feel like we've reached the point in our history the original was both warning against and satirizing. Not entirely sure how they'd be able to get that across now, either.
For those about to nerd8I'd buy that for a dollar!
Bryan Cursèd3If they're gonna do this, Dan is the right guy for the job. Just go mad-hard on the consumerist fascist satire and ultraviolence.
John Brophy2I am not against this...
Brandon Carter1Dan Stevens is a treasure and James Wan knows how to have fun. This could be a great time!
𝖓𝖆𝖎𝖑𝖘𝖙𝖍𝖆𝖙𝖌𝖑𝖔𝖜/AVON (s̷l̷u̷t̷ ̷e̷r̷a̷) 🏳️⚧️🦇🖖1Robocop is not a robot. Whatever script they used Robocop IP for must have been really cheap and excited some media illiterate executive somewhere that misunderstands Robocop...
⛧ Mother Suspiria ⛧ (Stina Marie)17DAN?! This is either going to be the greatest thing ever or make me *sob* actually dislike Stevens in something Very not enthused both about Prime & Wan being involved, but maybe they will surprise me. Wan's made some good things & Prime DID make Fallout & The Boys. I will try to remain optimistic.
Tactical Neural Insekt7any chance someone will have a new idea at any point, just asking so I should know if I'm ever going to be interested in anything ever again
Odysseus Mandrell7Call me crazy, but I don't trust Amazon in handling this premise very well
Wabi Sabi For Robots6Every sequel, remake, and television adaptation of ROBOCOP has failed to live up to the original because it is a singular work: a brilliant script brought to life by a top-tier cast and a director who never fully understood fully understood the American idiom. It's lightning in a bottle.
Aurélien Morel (pew pews en tout genre)6Robocop. Amazon corporation. Robocop. Amazon Corporation. ROBOCOP FROM THE AMAZON CORPORATION.
Cody6I will be seated for Dan! 😌
William Moss5You could do a banger reboot of Robocop in the era of Flock cameras, big tech, ICE, militarized policing, etc. But will the showrunners have the stones for that? The 2014 remake was bad.
FatGayFriend4Can’t wait for a new fucked up accent!
Marty McKee3Would 100000x rather see a THE GUEST series with Stevens roaming the earth like Kwai Chang Caine and messing up bad guys.
Tiger Lily 🐅 🏳️⚧️3Ordinarily I wouldn't be remotely interested in a Robocop reboot, but this is weird enough to make me curious
Dan Stevens is RoboCop! The Guest and Downton Abbey actor will play Alex Murphy and his cyborg alter ego in Prime Video’s RoboCop series, based on the MGM movie franchise. Read more: www.empireonline.com/tv/news/dan-...
Andy Foster (Heresy Miniatures)5This better be satirical in tone like the original or it'll be awful. Like the remake.
Josh Slater-Williams2As long as he's doing whatever voice he was doing in CUCKOO
Sebastian Fawkes2I'll save Judgement for until We see how His Performance is in the Trailers. As of Right now, I'm Skeptical, but Who knows. Maybe He can pull It off
I'd watch Dan Stevens read shampoo ingredients but I just don't have any faith in anything RoboCop at this point. The original is a masterclass of satire and I can't imagine anyone today being able to approach that.
Halloween is Forever1As someone who's been disavowing knowledge of a remake for 10+ years, I would watch Dan Stevens. But the only director I currently trust, I think is Jordan Peele. I will watch a Peele/Stevens Robocop if James Wan gives it $50M.
Daryll B1I mean when real life feels like a bad satire already? Where the hell will this go?
SJFB3Seriously. We already have robocops and this ain't science fiction anymore. Unless this will be a new satirical look at policing in this era, what's the point of the reboot?
Enormous for a Mushroom, Small for a Hat2My fave Weird White Boy is certainly a casting choice, but I do love him, especially when he gets to do an accent. That mofo loooooves doing an accent.
