So there you go, just as director
Jose Padilha explained a few months ago:
…the environment nowadays is different than the environment in the 80's and the way to explore the concept is different.
You bet it is! From the voice to that
hand moment. After all, they want to remind us that RoboCop is… well, only a human.
Josh Zetumer and
Nick Schenk stand behind the script which revolves around a fatally wounded cop, played by Kinnaman, who returns to the force as a powerful cyborg with submerged memories haunting him. For those who may have missed it: here are the first set pics with
Alex in action.
In case you forgot, in
RoboCop, the year is 2028, multinational conglomerate OmniCorp is at the center of robot technology and they want to bring this technology (check out their
products to see what we're talking about!) to the home front.
The rest of the official plot goes like this:
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…
But, as Padilha revealed, they go a little
further with Alex Murphy this time. Read: we get to spend more time with Alex at work as an undercover cop and as a family man.
That's the question: is he now a property? Is he owned by OmniCorp? He needs to be plugged in, he is dependant. The corporation has made him very powerful but at the same time very vulnerable. There's continuous interaction with his family after he becomes RoboCop, and that's not easy when you try to embrace your son and your wife when you just have a robotic body and you can't feel them. So it's about how it feels to be a robot as opposed to being a human.
