Via ChicagoTribune: “I’m smiling ear to ear right now,” said Aimee Garcia, who attended Fenwick High School and Northwestern University, over the phone from Los Angeles Wednesday. “Almost all my scenes are with Gary Oldman.
It’s a dream come true.” In addition to Oldman, the reboot co-stars Samuel L. Jackson, Michael Keaton, Clive Owen, Michael Kenneth Williams (aka Omar from “The Wire”) and Joel Kinnaman as Robocop himself.
“I play Kim,” Garcia said. “She's a scientist and her and Gary Oldman help bring Robocop to life. … She has a Ph.D from MIT and is at the forefront of robotic chemistry and physics. This takes place in 2028. She’s a prodigy handpicked by Gary Oldman’s character to work on this first of its kind experiment.
“I’ve watched more tech talks than I ever have in my life. I’ve learned so much about the brain. The technical things this girl has to say, I want to make sure I understand what each and everything is. She might be a little bit of a punk too.”
Aimee said that she will begin shooting Robocop, tomorrow Saturday in Toronto.
