New UK Trailer For Jose Padilha’s ‘RoboCop’ Reboot

THE ELITE SQUAD director Jose Padilha offers a very unique spin on Paul Verhoeven’s classic futuristic sci-fi thriller ROBOCOP. Rather than giving us a whole rehash of the previous film, Padilha wants to tell a new story which looks at corporate greed and where the “future of law enforcement” actually isn’t as far away as you think…

In RoboCop, the year is 2028 and multinational conglomerate OmniCorp is at the center of robot technology. Overseas, their drones have been used by the military for years — and it’s meant billions for OmniCorp’s bottom line. Now OmniCorp wants to bring their controversial technology to the home front, and they see a golden opportunity to do it. When Alex Murphy (Joel Kinnaman) — a loving husband, father and good cop doing his best to stem the tide of crime and corruption in Detroit — is critically injured in the line of duty, OmniCorp sees their chance for a part-man, part-robot police officer. OmniCorp envisions a RoboCop in every city and even more billions for their shareholders, but they never counted on one thing: there is still a man inside the machine pursuing justice.

We have a brand new UK trailer for the all-star upgrade of super cop Alex Murphy, which is slated for cinemas from the 7th February 2014.

ROBOCOP stars Joel Kinnamen, Abbie Cornish, Samuel. L. Jackson, Michael Keaton, Jay Baruchel, Jackie Earl Haley, Jennifer Ehle, Michael K. Williams and Gary Oldman.
