New Robocop (2013) Reboot Movie Photos


So yeah. Put on your Bad Idea Jeans, we’re about to delve right back into the world of the “Robocop” remake. With a summer '13 release date slotted, the film is currently shooting in Toronto, and with it comes the very first on-set pics of a sexy, sleek, futuristic robot cop formerly identified as Officer Alex Murphy.

As seen here at Coming Soon, the pics from the first day of shooting showcase a much more streamlined design, less bulky and accommodating for casual body movement. The second pic looks like that visor will be removed, and we’ll have a greater chance to see star Joel Kinnaman’s adorable punum than we did Peter Weller’s in the Paul Verhoeven original from 1987. Curious to see what the nerd reaction will be. We're expecting a lot of "Look, it's the Guyver!" but we wouldn't be surprised at most people rolling their eyes and sighing. Black is the new black.

Of course, spy pics rarely look good, and in fact the Robocop suit could possibly undergo a radical post-production CGI revision. These might even be preliminary suits -- who's to say Robocop won't have a mid-film tech upgrade? Though the suit would look good under a Hawaiian shirt. Photosoppers, get on that.

"Robocop," nonetheless, has a sterling cast that includes Kinnaman, Gary Oldman, Michael Keaton, Samuel L. Jackson, Abbie Cornish, Jackie Earle Haley and Michael K. Williams. You'll buy that for a dollar, in 3D, August 9th, 2013.

NEW RoboCop Movie Details from Director Joe Padilha [ INTERVIEW ]


Q: How are the RoboCop negotiations?
Joe Padilha: It is about doing a new movie, and we're working on it at the moment, and the negotiations are closed already.

Q: It is already closed?
Padilha: It has been a while!

Q: Really? We received that news only on March 1st, but it seems like you've been talking about it for some time, is that correct?
Padilha: Yes, we're already working on the screenplay and everything...

Q: This is something that can work out really well or... I mean, because there's a lot of expectations around this, how are your expectations?
Padilha: I have no concerns about it. I only work on movies when it feels right, when I add something of my own way of portraying things. I make movies for myself and I don't feel nervous, I have no problem with expectations, and if the movie is going to work or not. I just look forward to keep its integrity and directing it the best way I can, all the rest doesn't concern me.

Q: MGM was looking for a globally appealing director. Why do you think they chose you?
Padilha: I don't know. I think they saw my movies and felt there was something there that could bring to the present day this controversial, yet different, violent movie which is RoboCop without misrepresenting it.

Q: So when can we expect RoboCop to come out?
Padilha: It's a project I'm developing from the very beginning together with Josh Zetumer, which is the screenwriter, and there's no deadline really. When the screenplay turns out good enough, then we will start shooting.

"DROP-IT!" ...LOL

Robocop reboot has to be a strong Rated-R or it's garbage.

Mayor Bing: "Detroit won't build RoboCop statue" .. LMAO.. awwwww


Sci-fi fans won't take no for an answer: A statue of RoboCop must be erected in Detroit.
What started as a single suggestion for the statue on Mayor Dave Bing's Twitter account Monday ballooned into an international cyberspace debate Tuesday about the merits of immortalizing the 1987 science-fiction classic based on the city with a statue. Local supporters are planning petitions and protests.
"There are not any plans to erect a statue of RoboCop," Bing wrote on his Twitter account. "Thank you for your suggestion."





That statement unleashed a wave of responses from sci-fi fans and others amused by the debate.
Supporters of the statue, saying it will spur tourism and positive attention for the city, created a Facebook page called, "Build a statue of Robocop in Detroit," which encourages Bing to change his mind.
A few Facebook users are taking the matter into their own hands.




Victoria Bielecki of Phoenix pledged to buy the statue herself and "haul it all the way up there in my 1992 Suburban."

"Do you know how freaking awesome it would be for my 7-year-old to look up at a 10-foot statue of RoboCop?" the 27-year-old told the Free Press. "The city also needs something that represents security because of the crime rate there."

Others scoffed at the idea.
"Sorry, I think this idea is horrid," Carl Henry of Plymouth said on the Facebook page. "If you wanna build a statue, build one to represent an unemployed autoworker, homeless person or something deserving of recognition."

It's not a statue that Detroit needs, one poster said on Facebook.

"Detroit needs real RoboCops!" Jay Zerbel of Ferndale said.

A survey at freep.com showed 55% of 643 readers supporting the statue Tuesday evening.
While "RoboCop" remains a sci-fi classic, many Detroit boosters denounce its depiction of the city as a wasteland of crime and blight.
