First photo of new Robocop suit

I am pretty sure that the suit will look much better if they use the red light fx they show on the trailer pic:



Those lioghts, placed into the junctions of Robocop's body armor, would make him look pretty badass.
Let's see what CG effects they'll add in the post production. The pics we've seen so far look more paparazzi pics than official production images - could also be just smart marketing

They've got 20 seconds to comply.

They replaced the shooting with an explosion?

Looks pretty decent... but I haven't seen the original.

Not overly impressed but will probably watch it.

In original officer Murphy was very essentially shot into pieces - several guys spraying him with bullets. The scene was quite brutal actually - atleast for little kid as I was when watching it first time .

Based on trailer alone I'm not impressed. Hopefully future trailers paint a bit better picture...

I agree with Dowly. Robo-Cop the original looks correct. Half human and robot. Not a suit that makes the actor look muscular more than a robot.

Looks like they took away all the tragic elements surrounding Murphy in this new POS.

In the original, Murphy's death was pretty horrible. He was all alone, with a bunch
of known cop-killers laughing at him and about to kill him, and he knew it.

His family thought he was dead, Murphy started to remember at some point,
and tried to make contact with them, but failed. He was still "alive", but again alone.
In this new POS they go and change that too.

**** YOUR ******* BLACK!

If they truly left out the tragic elements of Murphy's situation and the flash back memories without building the rest of the story on that all is lost for this movie. Heroes usually have a tragic past. If this is not the case what good is making a sequel?

Looking at the trailer, Murphy seems to wounded (doesn't look like he died) in a
car bombing. Also, in the trailer, you see his wife speaking to him and later
on you see Robo with his son.

Something is screwy here. In the original there was the struggle between man and machine as one. Directive, etc. This remake seems to have that as noted in the trailer. However, as you pointed out, Murphy's wife is told he has died in the line of duty in the original. Murphy started having flashbacks. Reconnecting with his wife in the original never occurred that I recall. This movie he does? Speaks with his son? I don't know, perhaps this is how they wish to finish the story. It does lose that tragic life aspect IMO.
