It sounds like production on director Jose Padilha's Robocop remake isn't going as well as previously hoped.
City of God helmer Fernando Meireilles, a close friend and colleague of Padilha's, says that the filmmaker is having a tough time with Hollywood making Robocop. While the story originated in an interview from Cinema Com Rapardura, the guys over at Bleeding Cool have translated the pertinent bullet points:
- 9 out of 10 of Padilha's ideas are being rejected.
- He's fighting, and it's making him bitter.
- The experience is described as "hell."
- But Mereilles believes the film will still be good.
Production seemed to be going well for Padilha until a few days ago when the film's big bad Hugh Laurie passed on the project before signing on the dotted line, leaving Padilha and company scrambling to find a new villain.
Clive Owen is said to be up for the role now, but nothing has yet to be confirmed.
