The legendary RoboCop statue — 11 feet tall, 3,500 pounds of bronze — is finally at home in Detroit’s Eastern Market. Fans, selfie-sticks at the ready.
It’s only been four years since Sony’s attempt to reboot RoboCop with Joel Kinnaman as the cop-turned-crime-fighting-cyborg — though you’d be forgiven if you’ve already forgotten the bland remake of Paul Verhoeven’s satirical 1987 sci-fi classic. That might be an advantage for MGM, which is plotting a new RoboCop movie with District 9 and Chappie director Neill Blomkamp at the helm.
Lovers of robots, cops, robot cops, and examinations of corporate America, we’ve got some good news for you: Thirty years (!) after its release in theaters, Paul Verhoeven’s sci-fi classic RoboCop is returning to the silver screen for its 30th anniversary.
The old saying, "There are no new ideas" was reinforced again this week as the 'RoboCop' reboot released it's first official trailer. I am almost sad to admit though, that it actually looks really good!
