Hugh Laurieis in negotiations to play the villain in Robocop, MGM and Sony’s remake of the classic 1987 sci-fi action movie.

Jose Padilha is directing the film, which sees Joel Kinnaman (The Killing) as the title hero, a cop named Alex Murphy who is brought back from the brink of death and turned into a cyborg police officer.

沪江娱乐快讯:根据《好莱坞报道》的消息,《豪斯医生》(House)的主演休·劳瑞 (Hugh Laurie) 正在与新版《机械战警》( Robocop)接洽,有望出演片中的大反派。这部由米高梅和索尼影业联合制作的新版《机械战警》是根据1987年的经典科幻电影改编而来。

该片将由何塞·帕迪里亚(Jose Padilha)执导。在电视剧《谋杀》(The Killing)中有精彩演出的乔尔·金纳曼( Joel Kinnaman)将饰演警官墨菲(Murphy),他在一次行动中不幸遇害,后被改造成了机器人。

Gary Oldman already has been cast as his scientist-creator and Samuel L. Jackson is playing a media mogul. Laurie will play the evil and ultra-rich CEO of Omnicorp, the company that makes Robocop.

The actor, repped by WME and Hamilton Hodell in the U.K., starred as the abrasively eccentric and brilliant title character of House M.D. for eight seasons, gaining five Emmy nominations in the process. He most recently appeared on the big screen inThe Oranges, anchoring the ensemble indie drama.

 在此之前, 加里·奥德曼 (Gary Oldman)和塞缪尔·杰克逊 (Samuel L. Jackson)都已经确定加盟本片。他们分别饰演一手打造了机械战警的科学家和一位媒体权威人士。休·劳瑞将饰演 Omnicorp 公司的CEO,正是这家工作制作了机械战警,但他却是个为富不仁的大坏蛋。

休·劳瑞可谓红得发紫。在过去的8年时间里,休·劳瑞主演的《豪斯医生》为他带来了一箩筐的表演类提名及奖项,而他最近一次出现在大银幕上是出演独立影片《橘子》(The Oranges )。

新版《机械战警》的主创阵容已愈发强大,让我们一起期待吧!

该片预计将于2013年上映。
