Fernando Meirelles recently sat down for an interview where he claimed that Jose Padilha was having a terrible time trying to get his vision of the Robocop reboot to light. Meirelles said that Padilha told him that for every ten ideas he has nine of them get cut by the studio. During and interview with a
Brazilian newspaper, translated by
Latino Review, Padilha refutes the claims that he is have a tough way to go on the film.
“I have a script I’m happy with and I got the cast I have picked. The director of photography is Lula Carvalho, my editor is Daniel Rezende. I was even consulted for the selection of the producers,” said Pahilha. He also went on to say that you deal with problems during per-production with coolness and familiarity. With these rumors floating around, and his dodge the question types answers it wouldn't seem to rule out that there has been trouble for him while working on the film. It could just be a classic example of one of your friends shooting off at the mouth with you doing damage control, only time will tell.
Robocop will star Joel Kinnaman, Gary Oldman, Samuel L. Jackson, Michael Kenneth Williams, Jennifer Ehle, Jay Baruchel, Abbie Cornish, Michael Keaton, and be released on August 9, 2013.
