I hope they still have Murphy keep his gun in the holster in his leg.

[–]ChainsawSam 54 points55 points ago

THIS.

It was the most iconic part of RoboCop. I will accept nothing less than concealed robo-thigh-holster.

[–]Icouldbeanyone 15 points16 points ago

If they don't, I will not spend my time watching the movie. That was one of the best things about Robocop.

    The original Robocop looked like a robot, this one looks like a guy in a suit.

    [–]thehalo1pistol 467 points468 points ago

    Good point. I had no doubt that the original Robocop was just a dude's face and torso stuck inside a machine. This one just looks like he's wearing armor.

      The original robocop had some clearly visible robotic parts like wires, coils, visible joint connections, and the angles were rigid/edgier.

      I think the new one looks like a suit exactly because it's so sleek and smooth, as if it's custom tailored to hug the body of the person wearing it.

      Admittedly robots are and are depicted as more sleek and smooth nowdays, but IMO they should try to preserve some of the vintage rigid robot look. Hopefully they'll fix it with CGI.

          This is a shot from production without effects added. Who knows what's its going to look like when it's actually done. Don't critique an artist in the process.

          [–]confuzzledfather 64 points65 points ago

          The new poster suggests that it's likely to be quite similar to this, with matte black dominating, and red and chrome detailing. I would be surprised if the final version looks any less batman like.

          [–]tattertech 113 points114 points ago

          That poster looks like it might as well say N7 and be a Mass Effect poster.

              There are no tracking markers on the suit, which at a good estimation means this is it.

              [–]omegatronalpha 163 points164 points ago

              There are no tracking markers on the suit, in this picture, where the actor could just be off set walking like the human that he is.

              [–]BassheadPanda 178 points179 points ago

              Considering the lack of a glove, this is a possibility.

              In other news, everyone freaked the fuck out when Heath Ledger was chosen to play the Joker. I really think everyone just needs to calm down and wait for the trailer before getting their panties in a bunch.

              [–]lilmookie 247 points248 points ago

              Ya. It's the excellent acting that really brought the first robocop together.

              [–]MeltedSnowCone 34 points35 points ago

              Well it is hard to have lines like "Bitches, leave!" and pull them off without good acting.

              [–]b0w3n 40 points41 points ago

              [–]RupertDurden 6 points7 points ago

              That is one of those lines that I do not think anyone else could have said with me not immediately laughing at them. It's right up there with this line from Ice-T in New Jack City.

                [–]feistyKarma 17 points18 points ago

                Apparently even Halle Berry is disappointed she played Catwoman.

                [–]lethal_weapon_five 31 points32 points ago

                The lack of glove signifies they kept the arm. Which was a plot point in the first movie. They decided to cut it of demonstrating the dehumanization Murphy had to go through. It makes his struggle to regain his humanity even more poignant.

                If this version keeps the arm it would hurt the character development.

                [–]thatoneguy889 7 points8 points ago

                I saw something in leaks from the screenplay that said that some of the armor retracts or transforms or something to make him seem more human and personable in public appearances. There's even a part where they have his wife and son take him back at a press conference, but in reality she never wanted him back, OCP never intended to let him stay with her anyway, and he doesn't care either way because he's a robot.

                [–]Clevername3000 1 point2 points ago

                That sounds like some really great stuff. I hope it turns out well.

                    the lack of glove is the extremely 'subtle' reminder that they couldn't save one of his hands (leading to the (in)famous attachments)

                    You can bet your arse this film has been focus grouped to shit, this is just another example.

                    don't take my word for it, read the script if you can find it.

                    [–]warballs 28 points29 points ago

                    I watched the old one not to long ago, I remember a scene where one of the medics says they managed to save one of his arms and the corporate guy tells them to chop it off.

                    [–]slighted 10 points11 points ago

                    yeah bob tells them to get rid of it, but this is a blatant reference to that.

                    [–]warballs 2 points3 points ago

                    Does this mean the movie is more mellow maybe? The original was pretty hardcore on the blood and gore, so much so that I doubt the new one would be well received by people setting ratings and parent lobbyist groups if they even try to get close.

                    [–]Madmartigan1 9 points10 points ago

                    What? I thought we agreed on total body prosthesis, now lose the arm okay!

                    [–]Jaumpasama 3 points4 points ago

                    I'm not going to read the script, buy do tell: does the movie retain the original's sharp social commentary? Or did they go for all-out action? I'm getting real worried about this one.

                              Good call. In the Iron Man movies, the entirety of the actual Iron Man costume was just the helmet, the rest was CGI. We'll see, I suppose.

                                Cheap body armor. I'm starting to get real worried about this one.

                                [–]Robofetus-5000 1 point2 points ago

                                Here is the major issue as I see it. The original Robocop lost his humanity and became this 2 ton lumbering, cumbersome machine. I loved the movie as a kid, but I don't think there was ever a point I actually wanted to BE Robocop. Sure, he was practically indestructible, but he was kind of unwieldy as well. There really wasn't anything glamorous about him. This new version looks like a ninja. I'd bet money he doing back flips, catching bullets, and moving lightning fast. He probably has lasers hidden all over his body and I'd again be willing to bet money that the helmet we see in the new photo is some kind of glass dome with 360 degree vision. It's going to be hard to convey having your humanity taken away when you turn into the grey fox from Metal Gear (although his psychosis wasn't so appealing either, maybe Rayden is a better example). Hopefully there is still a grotesque element to what is under all of that armor.

                                        I actually like the new look. I love the old movies but you if you are going to remake a film why just do the exact same thing as the original. Assuming the film is set in the more distant future it seems logical that cyborgs would be made to be relatively the same size a a human. It would make him more maneuverable, and it would make it easier for him to use a wider variety of existing arms and vehicles. Furthermore, Robocop was never invincible so to make his armor out of a super shinny metal was just poor design, the back is far more tactical. As a side note this may be the nerdiest paragraph I have ever written.

                                          it seems silly to have millions of dollars in armor and leave your mouth exposed.

                                          i know why his right hand is exposed though... that's a good idea.

                                          It is to retain what little humanity he had left. Plus a total robot can't make out with hot chicks like RoboCop can.

                                            From what I understand, behind his skin over his mouth is more steel, his skin is basically stretched over a robotic skull.

                                            You are correct. I just hope that the remake at least attempts to do something like this. Watching him be dehumanized and then seeing him give in to spare the heart of the woman he loved was something that made Robocop a complete character for me.

                                              Or maybe it has retractable feature that can raise and lower it or close completely. The mouth would need to be exposed when he's speaking otherwise he'd be muffled. It's also better to see someone's lips when they speak instead of using just a speaker.

                                                  100% agreed. Sure, the suit is a pretty big change from nostalgia, but being super agile is a bigger concern for me.

                                                  I'm pretty sure he's going to fight like he's in the Matrix.

                                                  I think he is going to walk around real robotic, doing normal things, like stopping rape and shooting perfectly, but then towards the end he will pull some slightly unbelievable stunt that will smell of progression in the action/CG genre.

                                                  Lifting a car just isn't impressive anymore.

                                                  He got a terrible jetpack in the 3rd terrible installment. I watched it 20 times.

                                                  Robocop was in two movies. Third one was a spin-off.

                                                  But it was still robocop right?

                                                  Only in first two. In third one it was his cousin CopoRob.

                                                        They better watch out before they get a sue for him being exactly like Iron Man.

                                                        But a tiny helicopter on his head instead of jet powered hands/feet would stop that.

                                                          Well that's what happens to good influential action flicks. Watch scarface, if you've never seen it before, you might not like it because it comes of as one huge cliche. Only, at the time it wasn't a cliche, it was the beginning of so many styalisms/conventions etc that are normal in action movies now. Just how it goes and all that.

In RoboCop's first scene, he races to the top of a parking garage only so he can drive his car off the top level. After he lands, he removes his normal hand, straps on his machine gun hand, then, instead of opening the door to his squad car, used his machine gun to cut out a circle in the roof to pop out of.

I can live with the new suit - it fits with a modern film (although I do feel it borrows heavily from other recent super hero films). But he better have that same voice (and really, there isn't really a reason to change that too much). Robocop's voice is just as big a part of his character as his costume.

                                                                                    In the case of Batman, back in 1988, when I attended San Diego Comicon, there was major nerd rage about having Keaton as Batman and Jack Nicholson as the Joker. Everyone was "FUCK NO!!!" about it. 1 year later, it came out, and it was like watching Nostalgia Critic's Bum Review, "Oh my god, this is the best movie ever!!!".

                                                                                    It established Batman for 10 frigging years (cartoon version, after Batman Returns it kinda lost its luster).

                                                                                    But yeah, people were basing their views on a few set photos and in the case of SDCC, they took pictures of Keaton and Nicholson and scribbled on them with magic markers and then said "What, no Adam West?!? Nahhhhhh!"

                                                                                    [–]thebenolivas 5 points6 points ago

It's not surprising that many people (including myself) might find themselves up in arms with any perceived threat to nostalgia. Ultimately, only the release of the new film will determine whether or not the new suit was a good or bad decision. The new suit looks like a logical update - my only qualm is with his shoulders, and how it looks less robotic (and I still am not in a great position to judge - I may very well enjoy it in the film).

                                                                                    As a side note, the new ED-209 from the film's website looks amazing. In any case, we'll just have to wait and see.

When they finally watch the original Robocop they will say it sucks balls and that the remake is 100% better.

Surely someone, somewhere said "that just isn't robocop" now I get that it's meant to be on this modern movie trend where everything needs to be 'dark' and 'cool', essentially trying to copy what Batman did I suppose but that just looks crap, even in keeping things in that style, it still looks crap and it looks to well built to be any sort of prototype, I reckon that's the actual suit. I just hope at some point in the film robocop says he wants some chrome added to it.
