First Trailer for José Padilha’s ‘Robocop’ Remake Starring Joel Kinnaman (With HD Stills)
Sony has released the first trailer for José Padilha’s Robocop remake starring Joel Kinnaman, Abbie Cornish, & Gary Oldman. A “reimagining” of Paul Verhoeven’s 1987 classic, the film centers on a fatally wounded cop who returns to the force as a powerful cyborg with submerged memories haunting him. Abbie Cornish, Gary Oldman, Michael Keaton, Samuel L. Jackson, Jackie Earle Haley, Michael K. Williams, Jay Baruchel, Jennifer Ehle, and Marianne Jean-Baptiste also star. The film is scheduled to hit theaters February 7, 2014.
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.
