So far, not a huge amount has been said about the forthcoming Robocop film. There’s still a good few months until the movie hits cinemas, but you’d have thought we’d of heard a bit more about it by now, right? Well, finally a decent trailer has been released and, I have to say, it’s fricken badass! There’s guns, there’s TONS of robotos, there’s action, there’s CGI… I know trailers are sometimes more impressive than the movie (and there are even times you could argue that you’d have been better of staying at home), but it certainly looks promising!
Here’s the blurb followed by the trailer:
In RoboCop, the year is 2029 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 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.
Director José Padilha (Elite Squad) reimagines the tale of part man, part machine, all cop starring Joel Kinnaman (The Killing) as the title character, Gary Oldman (The Dark Knight Rises) as the scientist who creates RoboCop, and Samuel L. Jackson (The Avengers) as media mogul Pat Novak. RoboCop is being produced by Strike Entertainment’s Marc Abraham and Eric Newman.
