First photo of new Robocop suit

Let's see. Confirmed cast for the RC remake consists of Michael Keaton, Gary Oldman and Samuel L. Jackson.
The director will be the guy who directed the Elite Squad movies and the writer is the one behind Gran Torino.


And then they give us this:

Where's Peter Weller?

Do not want!

I bet they ruin the franchise like the new Superman movie did.

Stop with the freaking remakes, they never ever do it right!

Why do we let Hollywood get away with not finding original content?

Oh yeah, humans are stupid by nature.

Bread and Circuses!

Look like someone was a fan of Mass Effect....

but yeah...it looks bad for Robocop
and Wtf is with the right arm...if it's a remake did they even watch the original!


it's the right that gets totally blown off not the other way around!



if you have to remake at least show us that you've seen the original and if you HAVE to redo the suit at least do it right or don't do it at all.

There's always the chance that photo's been flipped horizontally.

I do not dislike the form of the suit, probably if the colour of the suit was similar of the original one, it would be better. And the suit will not be digital/cgi altered?
More bad that the suit form, is the human hand...

actually I think with that kind of guys on board, this movie might not be what the original Robocop was, but it might be one hell of a movie. I'm actually looking forward to this.

I was looking forward to this. It's very hard to take it seriously with that THING
as Robocop.

THIS is robocop:


Bulky and stiff (shut up!).

If they work on it some more, give it a different color and just make it more
robotic instead of a full-body armor, I might bare with it.

Looks to me like they're taking the same route they took with the Batman costume, trying to make it look more masculine/macho....not that I think they needed to where Robocop was concerned.

Well, you'll get a hand-out flier when you go see the movie.
I'm told it says something like this........

Due to budget problems We had to use leftover parts from many movies for the suit.
Cause our imagination is shot to hell?

Use your imagination and pretend it's different from IronMan, BatMan, etc, and on and on..

Thank You.

Hey come on now, robotics technology has advanced significantly in the past 20 years. Bulky and Stiff is so 90s.

Even the Sony Aibo robot dog has smooth joints now.
