It's a rather uninspired, if not lazy, update of the look made famous by the iconic clunky suit worn by Peter Weller in the 1987 original. And it's not a stretch to say there aren't a few pages borrowed from Nolan's Batman costume or the battle armor worn by Channing Tatum, Marlon Wayans, and the Joes in G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra.
While I didn't feel as negative towards this summer's reboot of Total Recall as many others did, it was still a completely unnecessary remake. RoboCop is already suffering from negative online buzz, and maintaining a firm stature as another pointless modern day redux. Coincidentally, both the original Total Recall and RoboCop were directed by Paul Verhoeven, whose penchant for dark humor was a signature of the twisted appeal of both films. This first look at the new design is not going to win over a lot of fans.
Offical Synopsis:
In RoboCop, the year is 2028 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 (Kinnaman) 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.
The film, directed by Jose Padilha for MGM and Columbia Pictures, also stars Michael Keaton Gary Oldman, Samuel L. Jackson, Abbie Cornish, Jackie Earle Haley, Jay Baruchel, and Marianne Jean-Baptiste.
RoboCop is set to clean the crime-ridden streets of Detroit on August 9th, 2013.
