The House actor is in negotations to star in the MGM remake of the 1987 sci-fi action film, Robocop.
Gary Oldman, Samuel L. Jackson, and Joel Kinnaman are already set to star in the reboot. Kinnaman will portray the hero, who is a cop brought back to life after scarcely missing death, and is a “cyborg police officer.” Oldman will play Kinnaman’s creator, and Jackson will play a “media morgul.” If the negotiations go through, Laurie would play “the evil and ultra-rich CEO of Omnicorp, the company that makes Robocop,” according to THR.
Are you excited Laurie may be playing this role? Based upon his wonderfully sarcastic role as House, we could see him playing an evil CEO very well.
