Oscar nominee, Marianne Jean-Baptiste has snagged a role in director Jose Padilha’s RoboCop remake.

According to Variety:

“Jean-Baptiste will portray the character of Detroit Police Chief, Karen Dean.”

The remake of Paul Verhoeven's 1987 film, which stars Joel Kinnaman, Samuel L. Jackson, Gary Oldman and maybe Clive Owen, starts shooting in Toronto next month.

This has a good cast, but will it be able to match the original? Doubtful, although I may give it a pass if someone asks, “Can you fly Bobby?”.
