New Pictures From the Set of the ROBOCOP Remake

A new batch of spy pictures from the set of the "RoboCop" remake give us an even better look at the robotic armor. At first I was a little shocked at how different from the original the new design was, but I think I'm starting to get used to it, and, to be fair, it's kind of cool. It remains to be seen if the film can put it to good use. We also get a look at Alex Murphy's/RoboCop's family. The wife is played by Abbie Cornish ("Limitless"). Standing next to the family is Michael Kenneth Williams ("The Wire"). "RoboCop" is a remake/reboot of Paul Verhoeven's classic sci-fi. The updated version is directed by Jose Padilha ("Elite Squad") and stars Joel Kinnaman ("The Killing") as RoboCop, Samuel L. Jackson, Gary Oldman, Jay Baruchel, Michael Keaton and Jennifer Ehle. The movie is scheduled for release on August 9, 2013. Here is the official synopsis :

"In RoboCop, the year is 2029 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 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.

Director José Padilha (Elite Squad) reimagines the tale of part man, part machine, all cop starring Joel Kinnaman (The Killing) as the title character, Gary Oldman (The Dark Knight Rises) as the scientist who creates RoboCop, and Samuel L. Jackson (The Avengers) as media mogul Pat Novak. RoboCop is being produced by Strike Entertainment’s Marc Abraham and Eric Newman, with Eric Carraro as Executive Producer. The film is currently in pre-production and slated for a summer 2013 release."
