New Robocop...

I think the new suit alone definitely falls into the "what is this, I don't even" territory.

Is that the new robocop suit? Omg this movie is gonna fail

the new suit looks like the uniform for the faceless soldiers in FF8.

Why do people keep making such madness?!?!?!

Maybe it's so they can make vast improvements to the plot? /sarcasm

I prefered the old suit.

Also, Hollywood has officially run out of all creativity. They've lowered themselves to remaking old 80s B movie series.

The new suit looks like a mass production model of the original. I understand they are gunning for a sleeker version, but something got lost along the way.

The original may have the look and feel of a B-Grade. But at it's heart was a tale of labour exploritation and Corporate Greed, which is still relevant today. The remake will work provided they know what drives the original and update it to the modern day context.

i say it's... refreshing

and Jose Padila will make sure of it!




Interview with Coming Soon, new RoboCop director Jose Padilha speaks to what ground his take on the American action classic will cover. Though many find the idea of remaking RoboCop borderline sacrilege, in the interview, he shares that he is tackling an aspect that many fans might not have a problem with. At least, I don’t.

Rather than follow Murphy as RoboCop after the whole OCP debacle, or run this installment off in some parallel universe, Padilha has said that the film will focus on a very particular area that the first film glossed over:

In the first RoboCop when Alex Murphy is shot, gunned down, then you see some hospitals and stuff and then you cut to him as RoboCop. My movie is between those two cuts. How do you make RoboCop? How do you slowly bring a guy to be a robot? How do you actually take humanity out of someone and how do you program a brain, so to speak, and how does that affect an individual?”

God another remake!?

And is that Robotbat I see? It seriously looks similar to the new batman suit.:heh:

That. It's like they just changed the mask to a helmet. Need more silver.

I don't see much Bats in there. What I saw was :-

There is nothing B-rated about ED-209.

I like the helm... thats it... the rest looks like a power suit, not a actual robot body.

What will probably happen is that this new Robocop will probably be CG augmented to show enhancements and additional affects. But the old Robocop does and did not need such augmentations. Part of this goes into my like of practical special effects vs the over use of CGI found in today's movies (as mentioned in the Captain America Thread).

Will if the robot body replaces most of his regular body, that it wouldn't need to be as bulky as it was originally...less fleshy parts to go over.

I'm with you on practical effects. Even if some older effects look a bit dated they still look more "real" than the cgi effects seen today, where I know I'm looking at something not real/computerized.

WTF are they going to turn Robocop into a ninja?

I know they remake it so the suit would fall into the design of "future"
But somehow i cannot accept its new design. I feel that it has no originality. It just like another mass produced robot soldier...

So the 3rd movie of Robocop isnt going to be the crappiest one of them and the new suit suck bad it needs to be shinny

I saw the film artwork of it, this is the stripped down core body without the armor.
Normally he has silver armor over this black part.

Basically, this is a picture of a naked Robocop. :heh:

^Wasn't the Robocop supposed to be the first of a line of super cops? Also, isn't this simply the basic suit without armor? Whatever the case, I do not mind the design...except for the one real hand. Why would someone design a suit that has one "real" hand? Or, even worse, something that lacks symmetry?

Edit: ninjad by aoihige

You have to reveal weak points for the badguys(tm) to shoot at. Namely the chin and that hand!

There might be a CG weaponry on the right hand, or missing entirely with usage of CG.

I heard that the movie may show the new Robocop have upgrades.

Don't know what that means.

I have no problem with the new look since this is version of Robocop has to look like it was made during this era not the 1980's.

Since the director is the man who made the Brazilian "The Elite Squad" movies, i expect lots of action and cops vs criminals fights.

Lol, I didn't even know that there's gonna be a new robocop movie. :D

What I heard through the grapevine (or at least how I understood the rumors) is that Robocop might receive upgrades during the movie (yes, power-ups, if you will) - which means that the recently released/leaked picture might not be showing the final armor, but a prototype/intermediary model.

...
Or just read aohige's previous posts above.

In the first movie his whole body was replaced. Only his brain was left.

Actually, Robocop was fighting ninja robots in Robocop 3 :heh:

Yeah I don't get that hand either. How is the natural hand supposed to handle the power in his robot arm? What f he needs to grapple with another robot or something?

It doesn't look "iconic" sure, but as a design it doesn't really look bad, and in fact I like how sleek it looks. I just think it needs more shiny chrome.

its probably related to his injuries, which arm did he lost again? my memory's a little fuzzy..... also the exposed chin doesn't count cuz it is shown in the original movies that he had a Terminator-esque robotic skull, so to the genius villians out there who targeted that part, sorry he ain't gonna feel a thing!! :heh:

didn't somebody already pointed out that the black suit just his naked base body without the trademark shiny titanium armor? he probably only wears them during his missions

Looks more like a suit than his body being replaced, still, I've yet to see the thing in its entireity so I'll hold judgement on weather I like the new look or not.

Someone has already mentioned this but...Batman, yeah. :heh:

Sounds like this guy saw one to many Borg episodes of Star Trek!

You might call me blasphemers for this, but I do prefer Robocop than Ironman. To me, Robo is a cooler character than Ironman. Despite being unable to fly (that jetpack in the 3rd movie doesn't count) and quite slow, the moment he pulls that gun out of his leg, all hells break loose! Robocop and his gun is the very definition of badass! :D

Like some wise posters before me said, that thing on the photo is clearly not the finished look of Robo. Thus, I’ll reserve my judgement until the real thing shows up.

This is bad....

Robocop is one of the best movies ever made. I used to love watching this movie late at night when I was kid.

Robocop was one of the movies I grew up to and is perfect as it is. I will definitely make sure my little boy watches the original before this crap that's for sure.

Same with, Predator, Alien, The Thing, and Clash of the Titans to name but a few. Classics movies which may be overlooked by our future generations due to these crappy 'money making' re-makes!

If it isn’t broke, don't fix it!

Sorry, but that is how I feel.

He can ride a bike now. That proves this will be a more agile and flexible model compare to his predecessor. Opening will be on August 9th, 2013.

Shay, Robocop (as a franchise) is indeed broken though. The 2nd movie is a commercial failure & the 3rd movie is simply terrible (Just like pre-Nolan Batman franchise).

I adore the original just like you, but I'm willing to give this remake/reboot a chance. ;)

I somehow recall that in the creatio scenes one of the scientists/doctors said they could save one of his hands. He got a weird look form the project team lead if I recall. Of course that was also the sequence that had him wake up during their Christmas party with the drunk staffers.

They've come close enough...

Interestingly, Robocop is probably the only movie I know of that is set in Detroit.
