The second trailer has been released for RoboCop, the upcoming remake of Paul Verhoeven’s 1987 classic. The second trailer gives us a better understanding of the world that this film is set in, there’s more footage from the film, as well as some terrible one liners (“Good Cop/RoboCop”, anyone?). We’re still unsure about this one. We want to give it the benefit of the doubt, but these trailers haven’t quite piqued our interest. Still, you never know.
Official synopsis and poster underneath the trailer.
Official synopsis for RoboCop:
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.
Starring Joel Kinnaman, Gary Oldman, Michael Keaton, Abbie Cornish, Jackie Earle Haley, Michael K. Williams, Jennifer Ehle, Jay Baruchel, Marianne Jean-Baptiste, and Samuel L. Jackson.
ETA: USA – 12 February, 2014.
