Dead or alive, this new international trailer for ROBOCOP is coming with you! Plus new images for the reboot!

Besides for his very human and potentially disastrous hand (seriously, it’s right there for anybody to shoot), there’s one other major difference between the new rebooted Robocop and the classic original. Okay, two major differences if you count the paint job. Other than that though, this Robocop also has the distinction of being fully aware of the fact that he’s been …

This new ROBOCOP trailer knows what it feels like to be human

As a self declared film geek and serious lover of Paul Verhoeven’s classic filmography, I know that every single time somebody mentions the new Robocop reboot, I should be hacking their internet connection, finding out where they live, and then pelting them with eggs and/or bricks as they exit their stronghold of bad taste. My street cred demands it. And yet, …

Let’s be frank: We haven’t exactly been kind to Jose Padilha’s Robocop remake around here. The combination of our love of Paul Verhoeven’s original film, and early script reports that sounded as if the folks involved had no idea what the original movie was about, meant that we as much patience for it as Darryn has with old ladies at the …

To say that people were a tiny bit riled up about the first set-pics showing off new Robocop, Joel Kinnaman, dressed in what appeared to be the drunk love child of Batman and Iron Man’s suits, would be a tad bit of an understatement. Puppies were kicked in the face. Now we have a new batch of set pics (courtesy …

Director Jose Padilha is in hell making ROBOCOP

I really am not going out of my way to trash Jose Padilha’s upcoming Robocop remake. Really, I’m not. But it’s becoming ever more difficult to write positive things about the production when all you’re getting is bad news. Yesterday’s blow was that Hugh Laurie was no longer attached, and before that was the script review which must have left some …

Hugh Laurie out as ROBOCOP's villain. Clive Owen to replace him?

So remember how excited everybody got about the fact that Hugh Laurie had been cast as the villain in director Jose Padilha’s Robocop reboot? Well firstly, those were still the halcyon days before the film’s script details were revealed and we lost all hope, and secondly, that actually never happened. Turns out that while the celebrated actor was looking at …
