Joel Kinnaman earned rave reviews for his work in the AMC series The Killing, and Hollywood have quickly come calling for the Swedish actor who has since appeared in a supporting role in Safe House. Now, he's damn well going to be Robocop and spoke to MTV about the film.
"'RoboCop is going to be a lot more human. The first movie is one of my favourite movies. I love it. Of course, (Paul) Verhoeven has that very special tone, and it’s not going to have that tone. It’s a re-imagination of it. There’s a lot of stuff from the original. There are some details and throwbacks, but this version is a much better acting piece, for Alex Murphy and especially when he is RoboCop. It's much more challenging."
Brazilian helmer Jose Padilha (who Kinnaman calls a "bad ass") is calling the shots on this one.
