Like it or not, but brand new set photos from Jose Padilha‘s upcoming RoboCop remake have arrived! Straight from Vancouver Convention Centre come these new images with Joel Kinnaman aka Alex Murphy (aka part man – part machine) who is obviously more than ready to stem the tide of crime and corruption in Detroit. Head inside to take a look & let us know what you think!
We will once again remind you that Kinnaman stars as a critically injured cop who (after OmniCorp utilizes their remarkable science of robotics to save his life) returns to the street with amazing new abilities, but with issues a regular man has never had to face before.
Of course, in Padilha's upcoming remake the year is 2028 so everything is possible. Or, as director previously revealed:
The concept of ‘RoboCop' is brilliant, first because it lends itself to a lot of social criticism, but also because it poses a question, ‘To when do you lose you humanity?' The way it does that is by replacing body parts with machine parts, and that's very smart because guess what? It's going to happen!
Anyway, let's also add that the rest of RoboCop cast includes Gary Oldman, Michael Keaton, Samuel L. Jackson, Abbie Cornish, Jackie Earle Haley, Michael K. Williams, Jay Baruchel and Marianne Jean-Baptiste, and the movie is set to hit theaters on February 7th, 2014.

On all pictures we’ve seen, none of the actors or crewmembers doesn’t even look a little bit amused or excited over being part of this project….at all. What does this mean? Maybe the fact that the whole project is just all a pain in the ass to be part of. Because, in the end, everyone know that this is going to be the biggest crap movie we have ever seen.
No its called working on a film set, everyone takes their jobs seriously.
Doesn’t look at all like a cyborg, it looks like a man in body armor. What’s imposing or disturbing about that? Completely misses the point.
Why…. Why does he have a human right hand… the first robocop did not have that makes him look more like body armor then cyborg and looks silly as well as an easier target… Oh well.. lets hope the CGI (pfffft HAHAHAA) will fix it *snikers*
Well, apparently a human-hand moment is there to remind us that RoboCop is “still a man”.
“How do I greet you as a man? You shake his right hand. There’s a marketing reason for it [in the world]. There’s also a whole commentary on marketing. When they’re building RoboCop, they’re thinking like they would sell a computer from Apple or something. They run focus groups to find out how he looks.” [Padilha’s words]
i hate it. i dont even have to see the movie to tell you i hate it. that costume design is friggin terrible! it looks like a cross between tron and mass effect, he’s supposed to be a machine not a guy in a syfi space suit. this is what happens when producers want to meddle with artistic vision because they THINK they have a better vision (but really your just a check book!). whatever excuse you try to give, it’s still just looks BAD.
