The streets of Hamilton are in for some tough justice this September.

RoboCop, a re-imagining of the 1987 Paul Verhoeven cult classic, is scheduled to begin shooting on James Street North next month.

The film stars Michael Keaton, Joel Kinnaman, Gary Oldman and Samuel L. Jackson and is directed by José Padilha.

Film crews are set to shoot on James Street North from Sept. 24 until Oct. 1.

“They're going to transform the street to look like Detroit,” said Julia Davis, from the Hamilton Film and Television office.

Builders constructing the set at 265 James Street North say they're setting up the space to look like a restaurant for a chase scene in the film.

Then when it's finished, they'll tear it all down again.

Michael Keaton was a late addition to the film's star-studded cast. On Wednesday, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures and Columbia Pictures announced he's set to play Raymond Sellars, the CEO of the corporation that builds RoboCop.

“Michael is the final addition to the amazing cast we have assembled for this film and it is so great to have the last puzzle piece in place,” Padilha said. “It is thrilling that everything has come together to bring this innovative new vision of RoboCop to life. We've got a great script, a great cast, some killer ED-209's and I can't wait to get Alex Murphy back on the streets.”

RoboCop is considered a sci-fi classic, and tells the story of Alex Murphy, a Detroit cop who is killed on duty but resurrected as a hulking cyborg.

The original was heralded by critics for its smart satire of American culture. Some called it the best film of 1987.

The RoboCop reboot is slated for an August 2013 release.

I watched a cheesy made-for-TV last night called Pegasus Vs. Chimera (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1700443/). One of the big, poorly-choreographed, sword fight scenes took place in front of one of our waterfalls!

^Is this dude a known quantity outside Hamilton? I'm not familiar with his work or his genre.

[ihateittoo]

I believe he is known within hip-hop circles in the GTHA, he is also a producer. I don't believe he receives much radio play or anything like that. He just happens to be Drakes childhood friend, he was there when he accepted the grammy (for best rap album) and has appeared in many of his videos.

^Word booty.

Manhattan Undying filmed around John and King William earlier in the week and they'll be filming next week at Moulin Rouge Thursday and Friday, plus some exterior shots on John and Gore Park.

It's a Canadian indy vampire movie.
