Fassbender linked with 'Robocop' reboot

Kerry-raised actor Michael Fassbender is director Jose Padilha's first choice to play 'RoboCop' in his upcoming remake.

The director is currently working on a script for the movie - which features police officer Alex Murphy who is brutally murdered and subsequently re-created as a super-human cyborg - which he hopes to begin shooting next year and while there are a number of possibilities for the lead role, Jose hopes the 'X-Men: First Class' star will take part.
