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)
Gerhalt7TV 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.
OffRail15The second live action Robocop series. No one remembers the early 90’s series.
Aaron Marohl2Ok. I'm in on that
Dutchie2Downton Abbey Edwardian-era aristocrat Legion psychedelically fractured-mind mutant Robocop cyborg in future dystopia. It's like he's trying to get #typecast
Ellie1The knee jerk response to be negative toward absolutely any news is so exhausting
Spax™1That's cool casting. But initially I thought who's that sleaze on the photo. He's barely recognisable lol.
Eliot Higgins101Robocop is my favourite film so I hope they do a better job than the last reboot.
Based Mitogaku Understander Gigan8They already did this tho
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.
Sean Marshall4Every instalment of this franchise since the original Verhoeven masterpiece has been nothing but disappointment. The first sequel had its moments, but who remembers the 1990s TV series? Or the kids’ cartoon? Or the reboot? Or that awful third movie?
For Every Kind Of Geek3just as long as he's keeping the mustache in this exact photo
Dr. Pedro Sexypants3Robocop só funciona se vc tiver um completo psicopata como o Verhoeven no comando,ele se chama Robocop,qualquer tipo de sutileza deve ser lançado do vigésimo andar após ser fuzilado
deenom3This will be the fifth RoboCop TV series, and the third live-action one. Will it be better than the preceding?
NDEddieMac3@sarakatew.bsky.social seems like you’d buy that for a dollar
David F Chapman3Only if he does it like Legion…
Ben Lesnick2If Danny can still get work after how badly he fucked up on Mars then cancel culture is truly dead.
Dan Stevens celebrates getting cast as the new RoboCop “Dead or alive, you’re coming with me 🦾”
Jake!!!! is FREE22We really don’t give a fuck right now
☀️ Fran J. Ruiz ⌨4Underrated news of the day, BTW.
Filinadiangirl2I'm enjoying Dan Stevens post-Downton Abbey career where he just picks weird roles and have fun.
carol2what’s with all the famous white men getting buzzcuts this week. this is, like, the third guy I’ve seen
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 Riley26i 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 nerd10I'd buy that for a dollar!
Bryan Cursèd5If 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)23DAN?! 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.
Wabi Sabi For Robots7Every 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.
Cody7I will be seated for Dan! 😌
William Moss7You 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.
Aurélien Morel (pew pews en tout genre)6Robocop. Amazon corporation. Robocop. Amazon Corporation. ROBOCOP FROM THE AMAZON CORPORATION.
Marty McKee4Would 100000x rather see a THE GUEST series with Stevens roaming the earth like Kwai Chang Caine and messing up bad guys.
Tiger Lily 🐅 🏳️⚧️4Ordinarily I wouldn't be remotely interested in a Robocop reboot, but this is weird enough to make me curious
FatGayFriend4Can’t wait for a new fucked up accent!
Hausu M.D. 🎥👺📼🍉🖤3Don't like the idea of Amazon doing a Robocop reboot. Don't like it at all.
Revenge of the Man-Thing’s Menagerie of Marvelous Monsters3You had me at Dan Stevens will play Robocop.
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)7This better be satirical in tone like the original or it'll be awful. Like the remake.
Josh Slater-Williams3As 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.
