On Again, Off Again Robocop Again

TMZ are reporting that Fox Atomic will be remaking Robocop. This might be the very reason that the proposed remake with much of the same cast was recently canned. I find it likely that Fox Atomic will go for a new line up, yoof things up a little. Besides, they must be looking at starting a new franchise - why do that with actors who aren't going to be supple stunt and fx material in just a few years time?

There's no reason this remake couldn't turn out be a good film, of course - I just wonder how likely that prospect honestly is. I expect the blogosphere to throw up their arms in disdain any second now.
