We've got a healthy batch of pics from the set of Jose Padilha's ROBOCOP reboot (on top of the ones we posted this morning), featuring Joel Kinneman decked out in the new "stealth" Robocop armor as well as Michael Keaton at a press junket of some type with a group of people protesting, well, what else? robots. Ah, the problems of the future...
The black-clad Robocop armor can be seen in full detailed view here, along with the red visor and red lights on the back of the helmet. We also have our first look at Robocop's gun, which looks reminiscent of the original hand-held automatic pistol. A lot of folks have made the comparison to IRON MAN's armor, but really, is that going to be the case every time someone shows up in a film wearing robotic armor? I'm not crazy about the "stealth" ROBOCOP, but I'm not against it either. Ultimately, the moving images will convince me. Well, that and the rating. However, given the recent shitty box office of DREDD 3D, which is a similarly-themed "futuristic armored cop with a robotic voice" with a hard-R rating, it's not likely we'll see ROBOCOP go that route.
Your move, creep:
SYNOPSIS TIME:
In RoboCop, the year is 2028 and multinational conglomerate OmniCorp is at the center of robot technology. Their drones are winning American wars around the globe and now they want to bring this technology to the home front. Alex Murphy (Kinnaman) is a loving husband, father and good cop doing his best to stem the tide of crime and corruption in Detroit. After he is critically injured in the line of duty, OmniCorp utilizes their remarkable science of robotics to save Alex's life. He returns to the streets of his beloved city with amazing new abilities, but with issues a regular man has never had to face before.
ROBOCOP is set to bring justice to theaters on August 9, 2013.
