This is news that caught everyone off guard especially me.  Apparently MGM is going to look back at the greatest crime fighter of all time, Robocop.

AICN posted a piece of a press release by MGM citing what will possibly be the upcoming releases in the future.

MGM is planning an exciting fall and winter release schedule. In partnership with Sony Pictures Entertainment, MGM will bring new installments of two of its tentpole franchises -- the new James Bond movie QUANTUM OF SOLACE and Steve Martin in PINK PANTHER 2. MGM will also release United Artists' international thriller VALKYRIE, starring Tom Cruise on October 3. With the appointment of Parent, MGM will enter its new phase of evolution by focusing on its major movie franchises highlighted by JAMES BOND and PINK PANTHER sequels, THE HOBBIT, THOMAS CROWN AFFAIR 2, THE OUTER LIMITS, ROBOCOP, DEATH WISH and FAME, among others.

I'll say right off the bat that I love the 1st and 2nd Robocop movies.  The 3rd film and the TV series... not so much.

Now if its true that another Robocop could be coming our way, I'm all for it.  If it sucks, then who cares.  I never thought there'd be another sequel and to be honest, I never really longed for one.  So if it comes out and it sucks, I'm not going to care.  Hopefully it'll be good...  Hell if its a good movie, I'll be thrilled.  The key to success is to bring back ass much as they can from the first film.  The feeling and tone of the first will most easily make people happy, plus of course great action.

Lets see if this ever happens.  For now, watch how great Robocop is...
