THR reports Gary Oldman has signed on to star alongside Joel Kinnaman in MGM's remake of RoboCop, which will likely start filming in Toronto this Fall.

Swedish actor Joel Kinnaman spoke to MTV about the José Padilha reboot of RoboCop, in which Kinnaman is starring as Alex Murphy.

If you've been keeping track of our RoboCop On A Unicorn tag, you already know both Chris Pine and Russell Crowe were rumored to be who José Padilha and MGM wanted to play RoboCop (although Crowe denied it).

Based on a true story.
