ROBOCOP - First Trailer!
"Dead or alive, you're coming with me!"
Sony and Columbia Pictures have released the first trailer of 1987's ROBOCOP and will hit theaters in February.
This film stars Joel Kinnaman (The Killing) as Alex Murphy/Robocop, Gary Oldman, Michael Keaton, Samuel L. Jackson, Abbie Cornish, and Jackie Earle Haley. The upcoming reboot was directed by Jose Padilha who also directed 2007's Elite Squad and its sequel Elite Squad: The Enemy Within.
In RoboCop, the year is 2028 and multinational conglomerate OmniCorp is at the center of robot technology. Overseas, their drones have been used by the military for years – and it’s meant billions for OmniCorp’s bottom line. Now OmniCorp wants to bring their controversial technology to the home front, and they see a golden opportunity to do it. When Alex Murphy (Joel Kinnaman) – a loving husband, father and good cop doing his best to stem the tide of crime and corruption in Detroit – is critically injured in the line of duty, OmniCorp sees their chance for a part-man, part-robot police officer. OmniCorp envisions a RoboCop in every city and even more billions for their shareholders, but they never counted on one thing: there is still a man inside the machine pursuing justice.
This film is rated PG-13 and will hit theaters February 7th, 2013.
If you're a fan of the original movie or a completest and you've watched all 3 movies + the TV series + the tv movies + cartoons + read the comic books, you can see several differences in characters and plot:
- Murphy's partner is now Jack Lewis rather than Anne Lewis
- Murphy was blown up rather than obliterated by bullets
- Murphy's family knows he's Robocop
- No mention of hologram chick, Diana Powers
Let's see how much the reboot is to Paul Verhoeven's American Jesus metaphor. No. Not kidding. He considers his 1987 movie a Jesus metaphor.
