'RoboCop' International TV Spot
Want a new look at RoboCop, from director José Padilha and starting Joel Kinnaman, Gary Oldman, Michael Keaton, Abbie Cornish, Jackie Earle Haley, and Samuel L. Jackson?
A Japanese TV spot is now online, featuring a few minor bits of footage that most of you probably haven't seen yet.
After this year's crop of remakes (particularly Carrie and Oldboy) it's difficult to think that a film like this has anything to offer. But what we've seen of RoboCop so far makes the film appear to have some ideas of its own, and some specific concepts that make a modern retelling (potentially) appropriate.
RoboCop opens on 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.
