Would a RvT work?

Soooooooorta... But Robocop decides too. The Terminator was programed too.

Greetings, Everyone.

This is my first post here in the forums.

Personally, I would LOVE to see a Terminator Versus Robocop movie. [I've usually heard it this way instead of RvT so this is how I'll refer to it.] I've been a Robocop fan since I first saw the original film in theaters in 1987.

Of course, I would want Robocop to win if he is fighting for the side of humanity. For the side of good.

I've read Frank Miller's TVR comic books (the 4-issue limited series). It's one of my classic favorites.

I think a TVR1 movie could TOTALLY work. If they use Frank Miller's story, great. I'd be open to an adaptation of it or maybe even a new TVR storyline as well.

Heck, if Aliens Versus Predator can have AT LEAST two movies, you just know we Robocop fans deserve a TVR movie. I'd even hope for 3 of them if they can get them right.

I wonder if there is a way to campaign for a TVR movie.

The TVR movies on YouTube (fan made) are great.

Kudos to RoboSean as well!

Best wishes,

P.S. In my humble opinion, it HAS TO be live-action! I wouldn't want it any other way!

Eh, that fits in the "pointless remake" category (like Underdog or Garfield) more than "furry cg animals having wacky adventures!" thing, IMHO.

And I'm fairly certain that movie's gonna tank. At least I hope it does. What the hell made them think there was a market for that???

Alvin and The Chipmunks didn't tank... it made $44million in it's opening weekend, coming in second behind Will Smith's I Am Legend which made $75million and is now the highest grossing December release of all time.

RoboTrap20xx,

Thanks for bringing that to my attention! Holy crap! Shows you how skewed my perception is.

I think this happened because my friends & I talked about the great AMDS fan films on YouTube in the months past and that altered my memory of the other titles.

I stand corrected.

I'm interested to know, though, which version of the title people prefer now that both of them are out there. Somehow, Terminator versus Robocop rolls off the tongue a bit easier. Sounds better. Even if I say "Terminator" first, I still root for Robocop. Same for the Alien Vs. Predator movies. I root for the Preds.

Best wishes,

Oh yeah, I know that animation is a wonderful medium that can carry a lot of detail both visually and thematically, but I simply don't trust American animation to handle it with maturity. I've got Cowboy Bebop and The Animatrix on my shelf right next to Metalocalypse and South Park. I love animation, but I don't think an American production would really deliver what we want.

A co-financed American/Japanese project, however, could possibly work, similar to Afro Samurai or even (as an extreme example for examples' sake) PowerPuff Girls Z.

I'd love to see Weller come in to do Robo's voice, though. That'd be wicked.

If it was drawn like it was originally and they got Weller in to do the voice it could work...

I don't think budget is an excuse for not using live action. Look at the new Transformers. $150 million, and look at those machines! The effects shots would have to be CGI, though. Effects such as ED-209, and the Terminators. The third terminator movie had a bigger budget than Transformers, and it managed to do pretty well with its special effects. They weren't too bad, but good for its time. I'm sure Johnathan Mostow burned right through a majority of the budget on the future war sequences at the beginning of the movie.

FYI, Terminator 3 sucked because it wasn't kept in the same style as T1 or T2. By that, I mean T1 and 2 took place AT NIGHT!!! T3 took place in the daytime because it was cheaper to shoot in day than night. Not the way to do things. I know James Cameron would fork over his own money to fund the movie to do things the way he wanted if the studio opposed. (as was done for Aliens and some elements of T2)

The point of this babble is to show that it's not the effects, but how well you handle the budget. Michael Bay made a deal with the studio that allowed him to keep shooting Transformers in LA instead of Canada, in exchange for a lower pay rate.

Anything is possible with a given budget. You just have to manage it well.

As for a CGI movie, it would have to be done by the same studio that produced TMNT. Nothing else would be acceptable. I'm not too keen on the idea of anime, but I don't want to start any flame wars.

I think the movie would kick ass, it would be hard to pick a winner though
