----------------------------------- beer Wed Mar 28, 2012 1:02 pm Whole ROBOCOP Design is Terminated in remake! ----------------------------------- "Film makers gone insane? According to the new RoboCop actor Joel Kinnaman, our cyborg hero will look nothing like he did in the classic Verhoeven movie. See-through visor, no robotic movements and a "suit" that looks like human skin. Check the link for more of this depressing news." SOURCE: http://www.hitfix.com/blogs/the-fien-print/posts/killing-star-joel-kinnaman-explains-what-drew-him-to-robocop *Post edited for news forum ------------------------------------------------------------------ Kinnaman is stepping into Peter Weller's metallic shoes and presumably his metallic helmet, but one thing he's emphasizing is that this RoboCop will look and move differently. When I asked how much of him we were actually going to be able to see, Kinnaman didn't hesitate. "We'll see me," he promises. "The visor's gonna be see-through. It's going to be much more of a human performance. There's not going to be any twitchy robot Our vision of how a robot is going to be in 2046, it's going to be a very human skin, it's gonna look very human. I'm going to be able to put my signature on the body language, too. The first 'RoboCop' movie is one of my favorite movies. I've seen that movie probably 15 or 20 times. But from an acting standpoint, walking around just moving your jaw, it's not so interesting. So this is going to be an opportunity to really bring a full performance to it." "The Killing" is still in production -- Kinnaman swears he still doesn't know who killed Rosie Larsen -- so it'll be a while before "RoboCop" begins shooting. ------------------------------------------------------------ Fuck you Padilha,MGM,Spyglass,Sony,Kinneman. You raped my childhood. The ROBOCOP franchise is now officially DEAD. There´s more ROBOCOP releated news in the article, read it for your self. My beer consumption will go up by 1000% for today and maybe the rest of the week.

Wed Mar 28, 2012 2:36 pm ----------------------------------- With the news we had earlier about the "eyes" and "visor", i baecame very disheartened about the prospects of this movie. Now with this news I'm just full on fucking depressed. Might get a little heat for this but I hope they cancel the whole thing before it even gets to production. ----------------------------------- vegasrobo Wed Mar 28, 2012 3:59 pm ----------------------------------- I rest my case...... ----------------------------------- POCOBOR Wed Mar 28, 2012 5:00 pm ----------------------------------- As a fan of RoboCop, I hate this with every fiber of my being and I wish they'd call it something besides RoboCop. As a fan of film, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't interested in seeing how this turns out. But in the end my hate as a RoboCop fan outweighs my interest as a film fan. So I'm (almost) wholeheartedly against this movie being made. ----------------------------------- vegasrobo Wed Mar 28, 2012 5:04 pm ----------------------------------- Yup.. ----------------------------------- Johan Wed Mar 28, 2012 5:16 pm ----------------------------------- Urghh. Why do they want to do a RoboCop movie when they obviously hate the core things that makes and defines the character. No robotic movements, more human. A suit that isn't a suit but some kind of skin. It is like the new Turtles movie where they are now aliens. It all just blows my mind. Sure, I want to see a picture of the new "suit" before i hang myself in the attic but as of now I'm really disappointed. ----------------------------------- Philip17 Wed Mar 28, 2012 5:34 pm ----------------------------------- Urghh.

But this goes against what the whole point and essence is all about. If Murphy is shot down and put into something that looks and operates as if it was human and there's no significant difference then what is the point for him or us. It creates a disconnect because we cannot see him suffer and be unidentifyiably human. I remember a key moment in the (not good) tv show at the beginning when we see him looking at himself in the mirror - a great moment and highlight of the whole show. Extremely Dissapointed by this news when before I was excited at the idea of seeing the construction in detail. ----------------------------------- ChAnOoD Wed Mar 28, 2012 5:48 pm ----------------------------------- I think that´s the whole point: making him move fast, do cartwheels and even "breakdance", as I told before. Sadly, it´d look as "cool" as hundreds of modern sci-fi flicks: CGI robots which doesn´t look robotic at all. Unreal maybe, but not robotic. RoboCop has his own look and characteristics. I found cool that he doesn´t need to run. Why when you can shoot someone with his targeting system? ----------------------------------- Helldogg Wed Mar 28, 2012 5:52 pm ----------------------------------- To me sounds like they're making another 6 million dollar man and calling it "Robocop" ----------------------------------- Johan Wed Mar 28, 2012 5:55 pm ----------------------------------- Robo is supposed to be this slow battle tank. Not a speedy jet fighter. RoboCop is SUPPOSED to be bulky and robotic. Making him slim and more human like is not what the character is about. It is a story about a freak creation. A monster story. I have no idea how the director and actor can say they LOVE the Verhoeven movie and then just shit on the whole idea, design and concept that makes RoboCop what he is. Urghhh...Looks like we won't get that new RoboCop movie after all. Just a "I-robot" movie with the RoboCop name on it. ----------------------------------- ForeverChris Wed Mar 28, 2012 5:57 pm ----------------------------------- Robo is supposed to be this slow battle tank.

He's going to look fucking stupid and this is just awful. ----------------------------------- Josh Wed Mar 28, 2012 7:49 pm ----------------------------------- Vegas, I owe you an apology. I expected change but I also expected RoboCop. Kinnaman cannot be a fan of the film as he would want it to resemble Robo. Sure he's a fan, just like he'd be a fan of sticking a pencil up his japs eye if he were paid enough. I did have hopes for this. I like Elite Squad but this is simply attaching a recognisable name to a random film. Fuck it, I can't be arsed to type anymore. ----------------------------------- vegasrobo Wed Mar 28, 2012 8:06 pm ----------------------------------- Josh,Sh*t we're cool you don't owe me an apology at all... ----------------------------------- Paddy Wed Mar 28, 2012 8:56 pm ----------------------------------- How I feel about this news cannot be expressed in words.

He and Moni Yakim had envisioned Robocop moving in a snake like fashion but the suit would not allow it. Moni then informed him that it would be best to slow down his movements so that he could gain the ability to move in the costume. Production was then halted for 3 days in order for Yakin, Verhoeven, and Weller to discuss the new approach. Tempers flew and arguments started over this decision, but in the end, Verhoeven stated that he was happy with this and that it gave Weller deserved the right to express his opinions and go forth with this decision. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093870/trivia Neither the movements of the original Robocop were supposed to be like we know and love. But I'm sure that it would have been a great movie, in the same way. I won't judge the new style till I see armor and trailer. :b ----------------------------------- vegasrobo Wed Mar 28, 2012 11:24 pm ----------------------------------- Birthday Suit Armor.... ----------------------------------- RoboPimp Wed Mar 28, 2012 11:25 pm ----------------------------------- DISGUSTING!!! I mean, I was expecting the remake to fuck with the original but I wasn't expecting them to hold it down and gang rape it. Robocop is OBVIOUSLY NOT one of Kinnaman's favorite movies or he'd realize how fucking ididic he sounds...basically that'd be like saying "I love Robocop but don't like what he looks like and I have desire whatsoever to portray the character authentically and want to reinvent it from the ground up with no regard for one of my favorite characters of all time" BULLSHIT!!! ----------------------------------- vegasrobo Wed Mar 28, 2012 11:35 pm ----------------------------------- Tellin ya is see a Butterscotch pudding Terminator flick in Jose's future! ----------------------------------- Officer Igor Antunes Thu Mar 29, 2012 12:27 am ----------------------------------- GOD. They just.......... fucked... with the wrong guy. I feel so disgusted for all of this shit. I had the most higher hopes on this remake. I really tought that they would mess with the suit, we are in 2012 afterall and much of technlogy has evolved. But, i was confident that they would keep the bulky design, more suplier, more streamlined, darker if you want to. I hoped that the actor would RESPECT the original at least. But god damn MGM with your big ass fucking heads can't see shit about this, about what we support and wanted for fucking 25 years. Years after years seeing bullshit series, cartoons, comics, games, toys, pen sets, whatsoever, years after years of pure rape over the brilliant masterpiece that Verhoeven and Orion gave us. And them, what? A chance to redo this thing from the zero, give a new start to clean up the mess. And with no single frame shot, we got this Kinnaman hot-shot trying to convince us about "much better acting piece"? I say, no thanks. I've seen more than you'll ever do with 2 words - PETER WELLER. I'm so upset. Sorry but i think i'm reflecting the overall morale of this board of true fans. These m'fuckers can't kill this one tought. LONG LIVE ROBO1. True classic, movie of my life. http://cinemacomrapadura.com.br/filmes/imgs/robocop_1987_poster.jpg ----------------------------------- robohell Thu Mar 29, 2012 2:10 pm ----------------------------------- :ohdear: ....My heart is breaking.

I have the same feelings Justin. :( This is a new start for the character ? With every one such new they are killing him. When I read this I cannot relieve of feeling that this brings really end for the old good RoboCop ! .. and I really dont think anyone come with a better and revolution design as the old good Robocop has. More human ? oh and why ? The RoboCop/Murphy had human character enough, but the production killed it all in the R2 oh and R3. Robocop without the his legendary helmet, cool black visor and the shining armour is not the RoboCop ! If they will bring something what they are writting about, they will also bring death for the legend with name and RoboCop and it will also break the RoboCop fan-base to two sides. :? ----------------------------------- JohnBoyAdvance Thu Mar 29, 2012 6:09 pm ----------------------------------- Hmmm... I smell a swerve. I can understand they dont want to have a bulky robot suit. But they know if they genuinely go with "lol robot under human skin" everyone will just say "Well you've got Terminator and you've turned him into a cop". And they've kinda already done that. It was called Terminator 2. Small movie I think. Thats why I'm saying "Swerve." Hell I'm probably wrong. But hey not going to judge it till I see it. /denial isn't just a river in Egypt ----------------------------------- vegasrobo Thu Mar 29, 2012 6:39 pm ----------------------------------- I've had that thought myself...But if it is a "swerve" why go so far out of your way too piss off a fan base..Its just not that "smart"..Plus if they wanted too be secretive or misleading why even come out and announce Robocop too begin with?..I've considered almost every angle even the fact that MGM's own 2010 promo material for the "new" Robocop used a fairly classic Robo image as its selling point..What works against all this being a swerve is what seem's too be a general lack of knowledge about the character on the part of the creative team..Statements like this time we're gonna see his eye's,or we're gonna have a more human Robocop,Or this is gonna be more of an actors piece,Seem insensitive too all that came before and out of touch with the core story elements..On it's surface the "fiasco" begun by Jose and crew would appear too be solely based on Robo's appearance..But Robo's appearance play's deeply into the characters story of loss and rediscovery!..If these assclowns don't get that then how can they deliver an end product that is Robocop?..Think about it.. ----------------------------------- Selma Thu Mar 29, 2012 7:22 pm ----------------------------------- My first thought was: When you wane go this way, than do it, but don't call it Robocop! There is a clear definition about 'Robocop'. I don't want a second Steve Austin too. That's something complete different. That's a little bit like the reboot of Star Trek... I hate the new one... Great effects, but the characters... ----------------------------------- JohnBoyAdvance Thu Mar 29, 2012 7:31 pm ----------------------------------- Well, I mean (stick with me) in Transformers a lot of the fans complained that Optimus Prime wasn't voiced by some guy in the cartoon. I mean, I doubt it would piss off the average person but there will be a lot of "Why isn't Robocop a man in a suit and why is he a Terminator?" comments everywhere. I mean we haven't seen it yet. But, already we've heard that the visor is see thru and there is artificial skin and stuff like that. But thats only words. And words are a lot cheaper than art and adverts. I wouldn't be surprised that in a half a year's time that they go "We listened to the response of "Meh" to the Robocop with the visor and skin and have created a more traditional Robocop that modernises and looks into the near future for inspiration." At the same time they could come out with concept art tomorrow and get a more passionate response and ignore it. They could be just plain testing the waters for Robocop in general. Basically what I think I'm trying to say- cheap heat=money somehow. ----------------------------------- Paddy Thu Mar 29, 2012 9:51 pm ----------------------------------- The small fanbase is nothing in comparison to the potential casual movie-goers who are going to be lured in to see this. And it is this large group who MGM want to target to make back their money. (If the budget is supposed to be really big, what are they gonna spend it on exactly?!) I honestly feel like shit since I read that article. This is simply... awful. ----------------------------------- RoboPimp Fri Mar 30, 2012 12:15 am ----------------------------------- The small fanbase is nothing in comparison to the potential casual movie-goers who are going to be lured in to see this.

MGM isn't trying to build a new franchise around Robocop. They're not trying to make a brand that will sell countless action figures and spin off into TV series and cartoons and comics....maybe they'll make a sequel if it does really well, but it seems for the most part they're just trying to get in, make a bunch of money and be done with it. Which sucks because Robo has shown he definitely has legs in the industry, even if most of the things he's been attached to in the past two decades has been subpar... ----------------------------------- thechief01 Fri Mar 30, 2012 8:14 am ----------------------------------- Well..... can’t say I’m surprised always had the feeling they would fuck this up, the suit is such an integral part of the movie and character to change it will make it a different movie with the same name. The problem is Robocop is an 80s movie with 80s styling, story, characters etc and no way a remake was going to capture that plus they will make it 15 or 12A certificate, cut the violence so kids can watch it. Come release day, if it ever does come, pop in your original Robocop, sit down and enjoy, come to think of it why don’t they just release Robocop in the cinemas, save a lot of hassle and I know which one I would rather see :D ----------------------------------- DoktorNo Fri Mar 30, 2012 11:59 am ----------------------------------- I didn't saw any concept art, so I won't say anything about new RoboCop design.

Plenty of time to ensure a solid script written and put into production from its writers?? MGM say's NO!! New story is too weak and lack lustre for the iconic film group to even put it's name to the project. Hollywood is doing what it does best. It's taking an iconic classic in the sci-fi genre and playing the joker remake card into a F.U.B.A.R production!!! And to make matters worse they want to make RoboCop more human!!! Apparently, gone is his visor and more of his face is visable!!! And less metal and more skin with no robotic movements??? Joel Kinnaman, even though a fan of the original has, in a round-a-bout way criticised P.W's iconic performance and his ability to portray the humanity of a man and the robotics of a machine in a recent news post!! He felt that only seeing Weller's mouth as his original human form and his robotic characterisation in movement was questionable and insignificant!! P.W's performance, in all aspects of the original is faultless. A role he should be extremely proud of for the sheer talent, depth, realism portrayed and true profession to his craft. He encapsulated the character visually, vocally and made us believe he was solid as a rock!!! Why remake a movie that does not need to be remade??? MONEY, MONEY and MONEY!!!! So, I say, go ahead Hollywood!!! Do what you do best. Rely on the C.G.I!! And script, director, lead role etc, etc, etc all go bye bye!!! 25 years have passed since the original and now a remake!! Must be desperate times in HW as they want to embark on a journey that needs not to be travelled!! As a true fan of the original I know I stand with the many and the masses far and wide upon this topic. If it ain't broke, don't fix it!!! And this one ain't broke!!! ----------------------------------- RoboThreat Sat Mar 31, 2012 5:50 am ----------------------------------- i am not pleased at all, i am pissed as hell. ----------------------------------- Mindchamber Mon Apr 02, 2012 2:26 am ----------------------------------- what a bummer. even with all this new movie technology, story-writers and directors of today are still so lapsed in imagination, that they cant be creative enough to bring what brought these franchises alive back to the screen. welcome one and all, to my Transformers hell. We have the technology, we have the ability. but it seems that has made todays directors lazy. No one wants a challenge these days. ----------------------------------- Johan Tue Apr 03, 2012 9:07 pm ----------------------------------- Making a robot look more human is essentially an easy way to save time and money. It is like that recent movie "darkest hour" where the alien invaders where invisible. Genius! ----------------------------------- Robo_1 Wed Apr 04, 2012 7:42 am ----------------------------------- So here's your new Robocop folks: http://cdn.gamerant.com/wp-content/uploads/Adam-Jensen-Deus-Ex-Costume.jpg I'm not ruling the film out yet. It could be great, but they can get to fuck using the Robocop name on it. It pisses me off how little grasp of the franchise appeal either MGM or the swing gate directors and producers have. Why is Robocop constantly viewed as the poor relation in the film world. They wouldn't get away with dropping the iconic look of Terminator, Batman, Superman, Spiderman, and hell, even Universal Soldier constantly features the eye cover design. Why then does every director or producer think they can just treat the staples of the Robocop franchise as disposable fluff? What is the point of rebooting the franchise if the main character is going to be unrecognisable from the first films. I mean just look at the Robocop 1 cover. Robocop looks boss, that's where any reboot script should begin. We knew the suit would need to be modernised in some areas, but 'synthetic skin' in place of that hulking titanium shell... go eat a bucket of shit. If they want to make Deus Ex the movie, then great, I'm all in. But don't call it Robocop, when it's clear you couldn't give half a shit about the franchise legacy. I'll doubtless go and see the film on release, and who knows, maybe if we can make enough noise about it we can get them to make the final design more reflective of the original, but this constant belittlement of the franchise as just a name which directors, producers and actors can earn their 'oh look, I can handle big action films too' badge with, is really pissing me off. Either show the franchise staples some respect or go produce an original film, which doesn't carry with it a set of perfectly reasonable expectations from long time fans. ----------------------------------- beer Wed Apr 04, 2012 8:06 am ----------------------------------- Good text above me. The funny thing is that irvin kershner had the same plans in mind for ROBOCOP 2, completely make a different suit (i forgot what he said about that, any dudes here who can remember his talk about the suit changes in ROBOCOP 2 he wanted to do? There's also something odd going on with the name:Padilha said in an interview that his name Stays Alex Murphy he won't change that but the iconic suit is gone. i don't get it. read this text below it's very interesting!!!!! http://www.filmschoolrejects.com/news/jose-padilha-darren-aronofsky-script-robocop-remake-nadam.php Ever since Brazilian director Jose Padilha was confirmed to direct MGM’s long-gestating Robocop reboot, there has been the lingering question as to what would happen to all of the work the original director, Darren Aronofsky, put into the project. Aronofsky was all set to take on Robocop, and had even written a script, but some looming bankruptcy problems with MGM and an otherwise full schedule for Aronofsky put the kibosh on all of that. Well, Crave recently sat down with Padilha to talk about his upcoming Elite Squad 2, and eventually steered the conversation toward the subject of Robocop. When asked about the Aronofsky script, Padilha said, “I haven’t read Aronofsky’s script. Aronofsky is a great director. I love his films. I am very proud because I saw Pi in the opening Sundance screening and I loved it. So Aronofsky’s great. I have my own take on Robocop. I know what his take was and it’s totally different. It’s a different thing, different kind of film, even different period in time so I haven’t read his previous work.” On one hand, that’s kind of disappointing, I would have loved to have seen what a major director like Aronofsky envisioned for this project. On the other hand, I’m much happier about a filmmaker who is enthusiastic about his own vision taking over Robocop rather than having a utility player come in, just pick up the pieces, and do whatever the studio wants. As Padilha went on to talk about his approach to Robocop a bit more, even I started to get kind of excited for what he has planned. For one thing, when asked whether or not his Robocop would still be Alex Murphy, Padilha replied, “Alex Murphy is Alex Murphy, man. You can’t call Batman some other name. Bruce Wayne is Bruce Wayne, Clark Kent is Clark Kent, Alex Murphy is Alex Murphy.” It’s nice to see that he has some strong feelings about the property and is going to try to do the original justice. Also, when asked about what he’s going to do now that he has a big Hollywood budget to work with he replied, “Spend it. ----------------------------------- Josh Wed Apr 04, 2012 8:37 am ----------------------------------- That picture of Jensen might just be a good estimate. He'll be more human though... ----------------------------------- directive4 Fri Apr 06, 2012 5:01 pm ----------------------------------- In 1927, Fritz Lang gave us Metropolis. An Sci-Fi masterpiece which depicted a future metropolis with flying cars, Sky Scrapers that touched space and a Cybernetic robot called Rachel. In 1987, sixty years after Metropolis, P.V. gave us RoboCop. Again, an icon movie and one where the writers of RoboCop had not only been inspired by Lang's creation but they loosely followed his visions of the future. Rob Bottin who created the RoboCop suit drew subtle similarities and ideas from Rachels robotic design. I guess it would be fair to say that Bottin's creation is ultra modern and super sleek. A product of the future. So, in 2013 RoboCop shall return and be set in a future dated 2047. 2047? Even though we are not told what time period the original was set in, we know it is one possible future. My point is that sixty years after Metropolis in 1927 came RoboCop. Now the remake will be set sixty years after the 1987 original release!!! Maybe coincidence?? Or maybe not?? In the 2013 remake, their have been rumours that RoboCop's design will be totally different from the original. In fact, gone is the visor, armour and any robotic movement. In it's place is a more human looking cyborg with no visual metallic structure. Skin over a metal endo skeleton!! No need to explain further as you I'm sure know where I am going. Maybe HollyWood is not only remaking RoboCop but aspects of Ridley Scott's 1981 classic Blade Runner?? Firstly, B.R. should never be remade or replicated but we, as the viewers believed Replicant's were cyborgs that looked human in every way. Cyber machines under human skin. But that was back in 1981. Now in 2012 the genera has been well and truly been covered. Even their are strong links to Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. To finish, RoboCop (original) will and always stand high and proud as a true Sci-Fi masterpiece. HollyWood will do what is does best with remakes. Fuck them up royally. All they think about is the money. The true talent came long ago and it's this talent and genius that laid the movie foundations to stand the test of time. ----------------------------------- Selma Sat Apr 07, 2012 3:21 pm ----------------------------------- Wow, when I saw the Picture my first thougt was: a late april fool? And then: Oh, Vash the Stampede, from the Anime-Series 'Trigun'. most of the Cloths, near the original. when i see correct: Arm changing into a gun... Vash too... the left arm Robo runs on batterys, Vash is a running powerplant. Thats a movie that needs a new name, not 'Robocop'. Maybe 'Trigun meets Seven of Nine RL'? ;P MFG Selma ----------------------------------- RoboSteve Mon Apr 09, 2012 5:32 pm ----------------------------------- Personally, I'm going to echo the general consensus of disappointment with the decision. The decision is either very brave, or very stupid. You can line up 100 people of different gender, backgrounds and interests/lifestyles and show them the Robocop suit; the majority will know who it is. You can still call the movie Robocop, but without that iconic suit, you may as well start with a fresh name as well. I understand wanting to give the movie a fresh appeal, and a certain distance from the original and sequels, but there are better ways to achieve that goal. I would prefer a slight alteration to suit, but a completely different design seems a step too far. I know it isn't as successful a franchise as other heroes with costumes, but would the next Batman movie benefit from a suit design that was completely different to anything seen before on TV, film or comic? An interesting train of thought would be if anyone knew of any series/character revamps which involved a complete redesign of the look of the main character where the newer design achieved a greater level of success than the original? ----------------------------------- Selma Tue Apr 10, 2012 5:37 am ----------------------------------- An interesting train of thought would be if anyone knew of any series/character revamps which involved a complete redesign of the look of the main character where the newer design achieved a greater level of success than the original?

The only thing that I can think of where things actually went well (AND A BIG SUPRISE TO ME) were the CYLONS in the new BSG Series. I honestly didn't like the "human-cylons"...but the public likes it...whatever....sigh... ----------------------------------- Dirty80s Fri Apr 13, 2012 4:19 pm New member long time reader ----------------------------------- Hi im a new member but been reading actively on/off since year 2000. Born 1987 and saw Robocop for the first time in 1990 from a VHS recording my father had made. I watched Robocop all day out over and over during the summers from the time i woke up to the time i got to bed. Then i saw Robocop 2 and loved it. I loved how the made the intro. And then when Robocop 3 came i was in robo heaven. He was my big idol. I dont get it. Why does people say Robocop 3 sucked? It was awsome. At the time when i was a kid i didnt care much about details but god damn it is well done. Robert Burke made a fantastic job in that suit. Robocop 3 had all the typical robocop elements, the music, the mod and feeling, settings etc. As for the flight pack, it was awsome and well made. They introduced it early in the movie but Robocop only used it once in a desperate situation. In my opinion everything about Robocop 3 where awsome and had true Robocop feeling. It even had a bum Leon bugging sgt Reed at the police station. Today i still watch sequences from the original Robocop from my ipad every day to boost my Robocop need. I registered here after all these years just to say that i am fking dissapointed about this new human like look. I get it that the old slow bulky robocop probably wouldnt get many hits in the big cinema. I was really looking forward to this as i really liked kinnamans look for Robocop and my friend laughed at me when Robocop reboot was cancelled for for a while. I dont own any collectibles but believe me i am a number 1 fan/ fanboy / fanatic/ lunatic- whatever. I love everything that has ANYTHING to do with Robocop. But this is just dissapointing. Im still gonna watch it, i still hope they make it. I look forward to it. But was hoping more for a semi CG type updated version of Robocop suitable for modern theaters. Thats my two cents about that. I know this is wrong forum, Im probably not gonna write here any more as i enjoy reading. But i just want to give creds to the guy who sculpts that fantastic absolutly AMAZING Robocop suit. HANDS DOWN that is the most jaw dropping-mind blowing thing ive seen since the original movie. I cant even magine how hard that must be. Do you even have plans or prints from the original suit? The level of detail and precision looks better than in the movies. You are the KING. Keep it up and hope you get to finish all parts. Stay out of trouble! ----------------------------------- Duke Serkol Fri Apr 13, 2012 5:01 pm ----------------------------------- Mh... this seems familiar. Why does it seem so darn familiar? Oh, yes [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUwkqeI7XWk]this is why. I guess the only hope we have of getting anything more of some worth out of this franchise now is the [url=http://spiritsnodeal.canalblog.com/]contiuation/conclusion of the Robocop VS Terminator mesh ups from AMDS. ...that or [url=http://www.parkproductions.btinternet.co.uk/]more games made by Park :) ----------------------------------- Johan Fri Apr 13, 2012 7:50 pm ----------------------------------- Hey Dirty80s. Glad you decided to post your thoughts. :) RoboCop3 is a big topic for sure, and if you want to delve into it more and know our opinions on it, check out this topic: As for the Superman reborn story. Crazy tale. Love it for it's absurdity, and Kevin Smith rocks. And yes, the whole "no suit for Superman" and "I don't want to see him fly" feels pretty close to the current RoboCop situation. :( Since they are starting fresh chances are nothing of what we consider synonymous with the character, such as the gun, leg holster and the suit in general, will appear in the reboot. It won't be RoboCop at all which is just madness. I mean we can laugh at the "Superman reborn" story NOW, but back then it was dead serious. And stuff like this is still going on with the now ALIEN turtles and our beloved now HUMAN RoboCop. ----------------------------------- Mindchamber Mon Apr 16, 2012 1:40 am ----------------------------------- As for the Superman reborn story.

And yes, the whole "no suit for Superman" and "I don't want to see him fly" feels pretty close to the current RoboCop situation. :( . thing is I wouldn't have been completely against the idea of superman not being able to fly since in the original comics he couldn't. But at least its based on something from the lore. So I wouldn't mind if the reboot of robocop had changes we aren't accustomed to as long as its based on possibly an original draft or something connecting to the orginal story that we might have seen created before. but these changes out of the blue just seem like changes just for the sake of putting their stink on it. ----------------------------------- Lexington Wed Apr 18, 2012 10:12 am ----------------------------------- http://i.qkme.me/3524wc.jpg ----------------------------------- Diesel_85 Tue Apr 24, 2012 10:15 am ----------------------------------- right now the REAL Robocop is crying at the thought of this remake ----------------------------------- Colek Tue Apr 24, 2012 3:33 pm ----------------------------------- I'd want to see Peter Weller sharing his thoughts about the remake. ----------------------------------- beer Tue Apr 24, 2012 8:32 pm ----------------------------------- I'd want to see Peter Weller sharing his thoughts about the remake. http://www.robocoparchive.com/board/viewtopic.php?t=2843&start=28 The Q&A session ended with a question about the upcoming remake of Robocop, which is currently in preproduction, will be directed by Brazilian director Jose Padilha and will star Joel Kinnaman (“The Killing”) as RoboCop. “Foreign filmmakers look at American culture from an anthropological perspective, so it could be good,” Miner said. But Weller disagreed, saying he didn’t think a remake could ever measure up to the original. “Can they get the human story that this film had? I don’t think so.” Will the "RoboCop" remake rule?: "I don't think so." ----------------------------------- vegasrobo Wed Apr 25, 2012 6:05 pm ----------------------------------- Alright Ole' Pete's laying it down! ----------------------------------- Officer Harvey Fri Apr 27, 2012 5:56 am ----------------------------------- I can totally relate to how Toho took that '98 Godzilla movie now....and let me tell you it doesn't feel good. ----------------------------------- beer Sun Apr 29, 2012 8:37 pm ----------------------------------- New interview with Joel Kinnaman. http://www.assignmentx.com/2012/the-killings-joel-kinnaman-says-the-viewer-will-be-rewarded-in-season-2-in-part-2-of-this-exclusive-interview/ AX: You’re about to start filming as the lead in the remake of ROBOCOP. Do you have any concerns about trying to get your performance to read from inside the Robocop costume? KINNAMAN: Well, we haven’t gotten into any of that yet, but I think from an acting standpoint, the new version is a lot more interesting than the old one. It’s much more of a demanding acting piece than the first one was. The costume is different. I think the visor is going to be see-through. You’ll see my eyes. :ohdear: ----------------------------------- RoboPimp Sun Apr 29, 2012 10:23 pm ----------------------------------- It’s much more of a demanding acting piece than the first one was.

Anyone can walk like Robo and I bet 90% of us on here do every now and then (along with spinning our keys like a certain badass firearm), but to walk like Robo with a heavy suit on with restricted hearing and sight, while following exact directions, melting away due to immense heat all the while doing the same scene for the twentieth time I can imagine takes something. I know I sound like a massive fanboy but I'm not sucking on Weller's shaft here, but I bet you it's demanding as hell. ----------------------------------- Paddy Mon Apr 30, 2012 10:40 am ----------------------------------- I was alright with Kinnaman I really was, but then he starts this crap about how the remake will be a better showcase for acting skills.

IS. RIDICULOUS! like others have said, I,Robot with him being a cop. oh,yu damn well know now he'll be doing shit like climbing up the side of buildings,swimming underwater,probably reintroduce the flight-pack. sadly, i could ALMOST see this working if it was something other than RoboCop. i can picture a compelling sci-fi/horror/ drama with a guy who gets killed,is rebuilt but looks the same as before. he escapes before he's fully programmed,and goes back to his family,and tries to carry on his old life,unknown to him that he's considered dead,and that his "body" is actually a machine. dealing with the psychological issues of someone back from the dead,who's whole life has moved on without him,but CANNOT just plug himself back into that life cause he's not "human" anymore. so on a suicide/revenge trip, he goes after those that killed him in the first place, using his new abilities to overwhelm the criminals. ----------------------------------- Josh Mon Apr 30, 2012 11:20 pm ----------------------------------- THIS.

I have all the movies, the series, the prime directives, the animated series (less the second version, Alpha Commando) But I really think it would be cool to see an Iron Man like Robocop, more faster and if possible with the same flying capablities. It would be the ultimate Robot Cop! hahahahah :lol: By the way, there is a line from Robocop 2 where Mr. Johnson says: "I never met a person who would like to be a robot" when they are discussing the details of RoboCop 2 program with the Faxx, the OCP excutive and the Old Man Well, I don't remember the line originally and I'm still too lazy to put the DVD here and watch it again... but if somebody give me the option to be a robot I would want a lot. It would be awesome to be a powerful robot like RoboCain, in fact since I watched this movie when I was a kid (I'm 30 years old now) I always want to be like RoboCain. See ya! ----------------------------------- Josh Mon May 07, 2012 10:20 pm ----------------------------------- But I really think it would be cool to see an Iron Man like Robocop, more faster and if possible with the same flying capablities. It happened. It was called RoboCop 3 and I think there are two people in the world who like the jetpack and by the looks of it you're one of them. Robo ain't meant to be fast. You send him in as a last resort and he cleans up. Think of him like a really sexy tank, he doesn't need to be fast but he sure is devastating as hell. If you make him speedy, make him fly, and give him other shit he really doesn't need it becomes less "authentic". If you go watch Iron Man you accept it because it is adapted from a comic book wheras Robo isn't. Robo is a bit more adult than that and I can't see many people who want him to fuck around in the air. ----------------------------------- RoboPimp Mon May 07, 2012 10:29 pm ----------------------------------- But I really think it would be cool to see an Iron Man like Robocop, more faster and if possible with the same flying capablities.

I won't lie. As cliché as it is I like the creator who on one hand wants to do the bidding of the company that signs his pay cheque but also feels bad about trapping a man and taking control from him and using said man as a product. Because of this I could see that Norton (:roll:) will be Robo's human connection. Either that or they're just recasting Lewis. It fits with Padilha's idea of taking a free will away from someone. ----------------------------------- RoboCop825 Fri Jun 01, 2012 11:09 pm ----------------------------------- I too am a pretty big fan of this Idea merely cuz if you cant cast a strong enough Anne Lewis just come up with something new. I rather see a new character than see a weak Lewis which Nancy Allen played so well. And Gary Oldman being the guy to play off of isnt a bad thing for Joel Kinneman. I dont know if anyone has seen the killing but hes a really strong actor and with someone like Oldman im sure hell come off stronger. My main concern with the movie is costume design. The who eyes showing hmm not big on the idea. I remember reading here someone taking a statement by Kinneman out of context where he said Robocops armor will be more skin like and the person on the blog say what Robocop has armor like skin. Which Kinneman then said what he meant was that Robocop will be less bulky and the armor will seem more natural to him not that it was skin. Either way thats not my beef my beef is seeing Robos eyes with the helmet on seems wrong. ----------------------------------- Serpico Fri Jul 27, 2012 7:44 pm ----------------------------------- I'm betting on a CGI robocop for the most part of the movie.

I believe it was by ILM who are the go-to guys when it comes to CGI, but what people forget is that CGI can be helpful especially when dealing with a practical suit. If you look at the behind the scenes features of Iron Man the suit looks bollocks. That's because they fill in parts with CGI which allows the actor to be more comfortable in the suit (remember how much Weller ended up hating the RoboCop suit?). And don't worry about the fucking language man. ----------------------------------- Serpico Sat Jul 28, 2012 1:12 am ----------------------------------- I must admit iron man was a cgi triumph. He looked pretty solid in both build and performance. However, Spidey and the Lizard were two soft (focus) looking. Always ruins it for me. Maybe there going to go for a kind of Schwartzy T850 look. And when he finally gets bashed up his true endoskeleton will be displayed in his face! Great site by the way.
