RoboCop Rebooted

ICv2 reports that Josh Zetumer has been hired to script a remake of RoboCop.  MGM is trying to reboot this character as a possible franchise property.  I have to admit I did like the first RoboCop, but the other two not so much.  We’ll see if this moves forward past this stage and if it does hopefully it will be a decent film.
