Dexter Actor Named in Robocop Casting Rumor

Dexter Actor Named in Robocop Casting Rumor

The talk recently has been about Chris Pine, but from out of the blue, a Hollywood source has contacted movie-moron.com with an exclusive scoop...

However an inside source of ours in Hollywood is telling us it will be ’Dexter’ star Michael C. Hall. Call this a 75% likelihood of accuracy. Personally, I hope it is true because he is the much better fit.


Star of the hit Showtime series, Dexter is the next Robocop! Well, according to movie-moron.com it is. You can take it with a grain of salt of course, but they seem to feel pretty confident about.

Robocop which originally was directed by, Paul Verhoeven is a story about a cop, Alex Murphy, in a futuristic and unpleasant Detroit who is gravely injured while in the line of duty. He is resurrected through a advanced technological process that fuses so of his humanity with a machine, thus creating, Robocop.

The movie is one of my all time favorites and I'd be happy with Chris Pine in the lead, but I would be overjoyed to have Dexter serving and protecting Old Detroit.

What do you guys think?

Fun Fact: Peter Weller, who is the original Alex Murphy, appeared in season five of Dexter.

MCHall certainly has the chin to pull off the costume. He's not very big though.

I love Michael C Hall, he would be a perfect Robocop, and its time for him to make that next step into the big screen, and no Gamer doesnt count, I actually erased that movie from my memory…it never existed. I could also see Bettany & Patrick Wilson in that role as it was suggested, but I think Bettany should stay away from the action movie genre for awhile…his last two movies Legion & The Priest were colossal failures.

Is that Brazilian director still attached to Robocop? Its a been a awhile since that news broke. & @ nailbiter: save yourself those 2 hours...as I said, that movie never existed.

I would be fine with this. I was actually thinking of him yesterday instead of Chris Pine as a strong contender.

I approve. I really enjoyed the Dexter series. Hes a great actor and think that he would do well as Murphy. Im still a little skeptical in regards to a remake of the franchise but sure ill welcome it. The Robocop movies were a little too campy for me and i hope they dont make this next series in the same fashion but if they do i guess i would still "buy that for a dollar".

If they really have to do this remake, Michael C. Hall is a great choice, far better than Chris "I look sixteen even if I'm 28" Pine.

This role would be perfect for Michael C. Hall, this guy is [frick]ing awesome as Dexter and he was the only good thing about Gamer, I can def see him as Alex Murphy.
