"Brazilian director Jos\u00C3\u00A9 Padhila has suggested that Michael Fassbender would be perfect for the lead role in his reboot of RoboCop. While speaking on Brazilian TV channel Globo 1, the Elite Squad director said that he plans on talking to the critically-acclaimed Shame actor once casting gets underway. &amp;quot;I can&amp;#039;t talk yet, it&amp;#039;s too early to speak, but there are some actors I like,&amp;quot; Padhila revealed, as translated by Bleeding Cool. &amp;quot;I really like [Michael] Fassbender. I&amp;#039;d like to talk to him - I&amp;#039;ll take to him. &amp;quot;There&amp;#039;s a possibility, and there&amp;#039;s a lot of other great actors that would play RoboCop.&amp;quot; The director recently insisted that now was the right time to remake Paul Verhoeven&amp;#039;s 1987 sci-fi original. Padhila also confirmed that filming on the project will commence in Detroit, Michigan in early 2012.
