Gary Oldman's Manager Douglas Urbanski Joins The Cast Of ROBOCOP
It's not clear just how big or small his role in Jose Padilha's RoboCop remake will be, but talent agent and manager Douglas Urbanski has joined the cast as the mayor of Detroit. Read on for details!
The Hollywood Reporter reveals that Douglas Urbanski (who as well as being the manager of stars like Gary Oldman, has also produced films such as Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy and Motor City) has joined the cast of MGM's RoboCop remake. You may remember him as 'Larry Summers', the president of Harvard in David Fincher's The Social Network, and sources reportedly say that he was offered the role as the mayor of Detroit in this film directly by director Jose Padhila. "I think every agent, every manager should do this to see what the other side is like," he said of being offered the role. "This way, they will never think a client is crazy when they get a call from the set with crazy demands." Urbanski will star opposite Joel Kinnaman, Samuel L. Jackson, Gary Oldman, Abbie Cornish and Michael Keaton. RoboCop is currently expected to be released on August 9th, 2013.
