Hi,

Just finish the translation, that's what they said about Robocop during the interview: (starts at 3:20 and goes up to 8:21)


Interviewer:

So, you're here just for the Miami film festival ??

Padilha:

No, actually i got some meetings here, about other movies

Interviewer:

Oh really ? How are the Robocop negotiations ?

Padilha:

It is about doing a new movie, and we're working on it at the moment.

Interviewer:

Really ? We received that news only on March 1st but it seems like you've been talking about it for some time, is that correct ?

Padilha:

Yes, we're already working on the screenplay and everything

Interviewer:

I have to say it's a great thing to all brazilians to have someone like you directing Robocop because we know you earned that and you deserve it.

Interviewer:

Robocop has a brazilian director, what you thing about it ? To have that door opened ?

Andre Matias (actor):

It means a lot because it shows other people they can do it so.

Juilo Coutinho (actor):

It's of course an opened door to other brazilian actors and directors..

Alberto Danuzio (actor) :

Being so well succeeded in both Brazil and the USA is something heart-touching..

Interviewer:

I believe its one of your greatest achievements to have such recognition and opportunity, am i right ?

Padilha:

I like to make movies that people like to see and movies that can reach its viewers.
When things start to work it's easier to work, raise money and then comes the recognigtion. I mean, if you love cinema
and want to be a film-maker and make aliving out of it you have to strive because it's not easy.

Interviwer:

This (the movie) is something that can work out really well or... i mean, because there'a a lot of expectations around this, How are your expectations ?

Padilha: I have no concerns about it. I only work on movies when it feels right, when i add something of my own way of portraing things.
I make movies for myself and just look forward to keep its integrity and directing it the best way i can, all the rest doesn't concerns me.

Interviewer: MGM was looking for a global appealing director. Why do you think they chose you ?

Padilha: I don't know. I think they saw my movies and felt there was something there that could bring to the present days this controversal,
yet different, violent and ironic movie which is RoboCop without misrepresenting it. But i'm also doing other projects in Brazil which i love and care as much.

Interviewer:

So, when can we expect RoboCop to come out ?

Padilha:

It's a project i'm developing from the very beginning togheter with Josh Zetumer which is the screenwritter and there's no deadline really. When the screenplay turns out good enough, then will start shooting.

Thank you for the translation

But i've an odd feeling about this project, again i feel a sort kind of Darren Arnofsky's move, strategy, because of these word below.

btw i think it's also overkil for his career he already made three police movies. and even no Deadline.

i hope i'm wrong

So guys what do you think can we really expect a ROBOCOP movie by jose Padilha or is this again a sort kind of Aronosky's strategic move to promote his own name for his own independent movies from Jose.


These days we can't trust a single studio or Director any longer.

Thanks for the translation Saasouza!


Overall think it sounds promising. While Aronofsky always had arrogance oozing out of his ears whenever he made comments about RoboCop, Jose seems pretty down to earth.

As for the "no deadline", it appears to me that as soon as they have the script ready they can begin shooting the movie, which sounds good to me.

After Padilha was announced as the director of RoboCop i started looking for more info about him and i was surprised by how intelligent and eloquent this guy actually is. I just saw him in "Roda Viva", which is a very respected TV show in brazilian TV and i have no doubts he is more than capable of making a great movie.

Also, Padilha said two things that drawn my attention: First he described Robocop as a different movie, which is something really good to hear because not everyone look at RoboCop like this. Also he said he will not misrepresent the movie, which also very good since it shows he respect the source material.

That was just incredible. Thanks again Detective Nash.

As a brazilian, i feel very excited about this new RoboCop approach. I'm a fan since my early years, and i never expected the franchise being rebooted by someone of my country. I wish i could dive into the production and experience it every bit.

Padilha is, as Archive said, much more accessible, and a simplier guy, who understands how cult the film is, and he'll try he's best to stick with the origins.

I really look foward the success of this project, and live it in all esplendor.

I think, that there is an aspect, that not everyone is aware of in this case: Brazilian director could really spice up "Robocop"'s remake with more relevant social satire, because dystopian elements in this movie are, well, everyday reality in Latin America.

I watched "The Elite Squad", first part (go to "Post everything you watched" thread for my impressions).

Guys, that would be awesome. This director could give Robo a real edge.

Because social satire made "Robocop" great!

It's this bit that gives me a lot of hope:

'I make movies for myself and just look forward to keep its integrity and directing it the best way i can, all the rest doesn't concerns me. '

I'm hoping that when he talks about 'keeping it's integrity' he's talking about the franchise as much as his own.

I have a good feeling about this, and it's a feeling which wasn't quite there with Aronofsky.

For all the trepidation I have about seeing any new film come out bearing the Robocop name, I actually think this could preserve the raw, violent and satirical nature of the first film.

I wonder if we'll ever get to see the script that David Self was working on. His stance on it sounded a lot more promising than Darren's - stuff the prequels - vibe.
