Variety report that Hugh Lauries is "in negotiations" to join the already very impressive cast of the upcoming remake/reboot of the classic '80s sci-fi flick Robocop
According to the trade, Laurie would play "the cold, sarcastic CEO of Omni Corp, which creates the title character". Now that sounds like the character played by Ronny Cox in the original, Dick Jones. But now that THR report that Laurie would indeed play the villain of the story, my guess is that this character would be an amalgamation of Jones and another villain from the original who was more hands-on involved in Murphy's transformation, Bob Morton played by Miguel Ferrer. Of course, hopefully we will also get a Clarence Bodicker type in the mix too - and we better see the "I'd by that for a dollar" guy, I mean that would be a deal breaker.
