The Second Robocop Remake Trailer Has Got Me On Board... How About You?

I have been back and forth for the last few months anticipating the coming Robocop remake that will hit theaters this February. It has an unbelievable cast (Gary Oldman, Samuel L Jackson, Michael Keaton, Michael K Williams, and starring The Killings Joel Kinnaman) and the effects look spectacular. Spectacular. Yet I was unsure that the remake was necessary. The Total Recall remake left me with a bad taste in my mouth... not that it was overly bad, but it did NOTHING to add to the mythos of the original film. It wasn't flashy enough to justify a whole new film. It was just blah. But with the second trailer being released for the Robocop remake, we might be seeing something totatlly different. This is what you expect to see in a remake... progress! It has me wanting more, and I never thought I would want more from the Robocop franchise ever again. This trailer gives our characters a bit more depth. Shiesty business man Michael Keaton? Love it. Sam Jackson pontificating in another ridiculous hairpiece? Ok... that is fantastic. Oldman as the creator, Kinnaman as the experiment? Amazing. And the action... wow, I know this is only a trailer but my hopes are raised. Plus they made some improvements, while not completely changing things. The suit is a bit different, but looks similar enough to call back to the original film. As does the ED-209, and the other robots. Plus we get an Omar sighting... yeah Chalky, get them movie checks! Check out the new trailer after the jump...

'Robocop' Remake Gets A Trailer... And I Am OK With It!

When they announced that there was a Robocop remake in the pipes, I sort of had mixed feelings about the whole thing. On one hand, this is EXACTLY the kind of movie I want to see remade because I feel like the technology/CGI that exists today will serve its Sci Fi/Robotic pieces of the story well. On the other hand, it hurt because they were going to be touching a movie from my childhood and making all types of unnecessary changes to muck it up. I was definitely leaning more towards number 2 after the first footage started appearing on the 'Net of our favorite cyber cop in a black armor suit. Why fuck with the classic chrome look? It's iconic... But now that we actually have a trailer, I am starting to lean back towards #1. The footage looks great, the suit looks practical and flows well, and they even clarify on the trailer on why its black! Add in a solid cast (Michael Keaton, the very sexy Abbie Cornish, and a nutty hairpiece wearing Samuel L...Yes!) and slick looks and I might just be sold on this one. The trailer definitely did a lot to sway me on the side of approval. We shall see. The movie comes out Feb 7th, 2014. Check out the full trailer after the jump...
