ROBOCOP Sizzle Reel and Cool Concept Art
I think I'm one of the few people actually looking forward to seeing Jose Padilha's Robocop remake. A lot of people were turned off by the suit designs, but I freakin' embraced that shit. I think it looks great, and I'm excited to see it in action!
There's a very cool promotional sizzle reel that been released for the movie featuring some of the films concept art and CG designs, as well as interviews with the Padilha and Joel Kinnaman sharing their thoughts on the movie and the franchise. One of the designs shown looks more like the original suit that we've all come to know and respect. I think it's ok for change though. We don't live in the 80s anymore, and that's a good thing.
The video gives us a great look at the tone and feel this movie is going to have, and if you're still not sold on it, maybe this will help you change your mind. If it doesn't, then just wait for the trailer before you completely write off the movie. If you've seen Padilha's previous movies like the Elite Squad films, then you know he's going to do a great job bringing Robocop back to life.
Watch the video and let us know if it's sparked any kind of excitement in you!
The movie also stars Gary Oldman, Michael Keaton, and Samuel L. Jackson, as well as Abbie Cornish, Jackie Earle Haley, Michael K. Williams , Jay Baruchel, Jennifer Ehle, and Marianne Jean-Baptiste.
