Deadline is reporting that Michael Keaton is taking over the role of the evil CEO from Hugh Laurie in Jose Padilha’s remake of Paul Verhoeven ‘s ultra-violent classic “RoboCop”.
He will be joining a cast that already includes Samuel L. Jackson, Gary Oldman, and Joel Kinnaman as the titular robotic police officer.
This news is exciting as Michael Keaton is the best part of anything he’s in. His last major release was playing the scene stealing Captain Gene Mauch in the Will Ferrell 2010 comedy “The Other Guys”.
