Robocop reboot Trailer is here!

hawkwing43 · September 2013

I know there are tons of people who love the 1st Robocop movie, but this reboot looks interesting. Hey at least there isn't any stop-motion in this version.

Looks pretty decent - might have to check this one out

We agreed on total body prosthesis Now lose the arm

Really an explosion, the gundown scene was great they should have kept it....and he's just paralyzed, and not dead .

Still looks interesting.

Also why do Robocop people become Trek villains, or Starfleet Captains with a stick up their *%#*

Ill be seeing it...It looks pretty cool.

This is what it reminds me of...

"We can rebuild him. We have the technology. We have the capability to build the world's first bionic man. That man will be Better than he was before. Better, stronger, faster."

A more modern, futuristic, 6 Million Dollar Man movie.:)

ED 209, WHAT HAPPEN TO YOU???

(Also those tron-y things. I don't like them)

I didn't realize just how many large name actors they have in this movie...

Especially like that Miguel Ferrer is playing a role.

And anything Samuel L. Jackson is a crowd pleaser!

I wonder if he'll die again half-way through the movie, like in that shark movie "Deep Blue Sea"?

:eek:

The GF & I watched the trailer.

The overall story seems like it could be interesting, but I'm not 100% sure of it.

I do not care for the Robo-Cylon look for Robo. Silver and Black is Iconic for the Character. The ED-209 redesign isn't bad, though...

My GF is even more critical about a number of things seen in the Trailer. I doubt she will want to see it. I'm a bit more on the fence personally. It's a early-price showing no matter what.

Thank you for the time...

Consider that the Robocop villain became the UFP President.

scruffyvulcan · September 2013

My biggest concern is the fact that (I heard) it's going to be rated PG-13. Now, I'm not against PG-13 in general. There are some fantastic movies with that rating.

But Robocop is supposed to be visceral. It's supposed to pull no punches. The thought of another Robocop movie that had to tone itself down to meet a more kid-friendly rating makes me nervous.

Pg-13??? boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

or like in Jurassic Park

sander233 · September 2013

I am cautiously optimistic, mostly because of Jackie Earle Haley playing a villain. And if nothing else, I'll get to drool over Abbie Cornish.

To be fair, Kurtwood Smith also played Annorax - one of the better villains from Voyager.

Another reboot fail.

Seriously, Hollywood is on the verge of dying. And reboots are killing it faster.

Possibly the reason why in ST history, TV died out on the 2030's? Another Trek fact becoming real.

I don't go to tho the movies anymore, rent DVD's or even have a television. All thanks to garbage like this.

Yay another anti reboot poster! I hate them with a passion and have advocated banning reboots, maybe congress needs a law allowing IP to be condemned and seized to stop this rebooting and remaking nonsense and force originality out of Hollywood for their own good lol.

farmallm · September 2013

Some times reboots are good. Some times they just fail. I kinda like the trailer, and will watch the movie when it comes out. The changes are ok, however I wished they kept the old color theme on his suit. We will see how it fares.

This year was not a good year of movies. Many "Blockbusters" failed this year. Most didn't even make enough $ to cover the making of the movie.

Oh, you saw the movie already?

:rolleyes:

Also, the PG-13 vs R rating doesn't matter. Good story that's entertaining > Blood and guts.

So...

The Coen Bros. True Grit and The Ladykillers
The 3:10 to Yuma remake with Christian Bale and Russell Crowe
John Carpenter's The Thing
Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy
Ocean's Eleven remake with George Clooney
and Brian de la Palma's Scarface do nothing for you, huh?

Nope, I honestly haven't bothered watching any of them except for a few minutes of Oceans 11 by accident since I didn't know it was a remake, but it seemed boring so I didn't get to far into it. If I have to watch something thats already been done before I'll go watch Star Trek reruns on netflix before I bother with any of those.

Ok, I've had a question brewing for a while and this thread seems like a place to ask it.

Reboot haters, what's the difference between the hated reboot, and say, the 7 or so films and TV films of Hamlet? In the later, each interprets the story differently: Laurence Olivier's was a traditional appearance but was famous for emphasizing a modern psychological interpretation. Patrick Stewart's version had a very modern setting and costuming, etc.

I never hear boos regarding a new interpretation of a Shakespeare, Oscar Wilde, or other playwright's work, though I've seen some critics suggest one interpretation or another is not all it could be.

Then there's the Sherlock Holmes phenomena, where the familiar characters and scenarios have been reused many, many times, each significantly varying on the details. Right now, there are two TV versions and one movie version that are popular, each with wildly different interpretation on the core concept. (I like the fact that all three Holmes actors are know to each other and interact) How are cases like these not booed like the shows labeled "reboot"?

There is a difference between making a movie based on a play hundreds of years old like Hamlet, or making a movie based on a hundred something year old book series that had most of its previous movies done in black and white like Sherlock Holmes, and rebooting movies that just came out a a few years ago like Batman or Spiderman. Even 20 something years ago like Robocop is too much for me for me to be interested in considering watching it. I still remember seeing the first one in the theaters.

Disintegrating man vs car. That's not good cinema to you?

I agree. There are some great reboots out there and to just say "All reboots should be forbidden" would cheat us out of some great films.

Donner's original Superman was a reboot.
Casino Royale was a reboot.
Tim Burton's Batman was a reboot.
John Carpenter's "The Thing" (a horror classic) was a reboot of a movie from the 50's.
X-Men: First Class - while maintaining some continuity - was considered a reboot by the filmmakers.
Dredd - which was great - was a reboot.
Captain America was a reboot.

And the big one... the people who made Wrath of Khan said that movie was a reboot of the Trek franchise.

And what about movies that are great ideas but executed horribly (like Dredd)? So because someone made a bad movie it means nobody is ever allowed to try to make a better version?

I agree that most reboots are TRIBBLE.

But the fact is, most movies are TRIBBLE.

Go to Netflix, pull up any random genre, and look at all the original movies. You'll be lucky if 1 out of 50 aren't total TRIBBLE.

So instead of calling for no reboots, how about you just call for no crappy movies?

Robocop reboot Trailer is here!
