Gary Oldman. As if the guy can't get any more bad-ass with the roles he has chosen, the man is now going to be starring in the RoboCop remake as "Norton," the scientist responsible for RoboCop's creation.
The Hollywood Reporter says Norton "finds himself torn between the ideals of the machine trying to rediscover its humanity and the callous needs of a corporation." With Oldman's character, we're already seeing a bit of a departure from the original '80s film. The scientists responsible for the creation of RoboCop were mostly background characters, faceless - somewhat comedic - entities.

You got a fleeting glimpse at her at the end of The Walking Dead season 2 as a hooded stranger with two armless zombies in tow.
Today, everyone is getting their first look at Michonne (played by Danai Gurira), a character who was embraced by fans of the comic book and is making her series debut on AMC's third season of The Walking Dead.

“The essence of the character - her personality, her motives, everything that makes Michonne Michonne - remains intact from the comics,” series creator Robert Kirkman tells the outlet. “But like a lot of things on the show, there will be little tweaks and differences here and there.

In an interview with Vulture, Murphy - who is a showrunner on AHS - revealed the upcoming story arc will be set in the '60s and dished a bit more dirt on what is to come.
