Hugh Laurie Joining The Cast Of ‘Robocop’ As The Villain?

You don’t understand how excited I am for this movie. And the cast? It just keeps getting better and better with each announcement. With only a few months until the film begins filming TheHollywoodReporter is reporting that Hugh Laurie (‘House’) will be joining the cast as the villain of the film. Laurie will play the evil and ultra-rich CEO of Omnicorp, the company that makes Robocop.

So…let me get this right. We have Joel Kinnaman (‘The Killing’), Gary Oldman (‘The Dark Knight’), Samuel L. Jackson (Too many movies to name), Abbie Cornish (‘Sucker Punch’), Hugh Laurie with rumors of Edward Norton and Sean Penn…and you’re still not excited?

With an impressive cast this is one reboot that i’m on the edge of my seat waiting to see.

Dead or alive…’Robocop’ is set to hit theaters August 9, 2013.
