Robocop - Remake - Official Trailer

Robocop - Remake - Official Trailer

Columbia Pictures and Sony have been trying to get a remake of Robocop off the ground for years. But only recently have they been able to move the project forward, with The Killing's Joel Kinnaman filling Peter Weller's role as the iconic half-man/half-machine/all-cop.

This first official trailer for the remake shows Kinnaman in action as Det. Alex Murphy, who is placed in the suit after an incident in which criminals rig his car to explode (a change from the original film, in which Murphy is riddled with bullets in spectacularly gruesome fashion). While the trailer doesn't seem to suggest that the film retains the tongue-in-cheek spirit of the original, it boasts an all-star cast including Samuel L. Jackson, Gary Oldman, Michael Keaton, Michael K. Williams, Abbie Cornish, Jay Baruchel and Oscar nominee Jackie Earle Haley. Check out the full trailer below via CBMTrailers:
