Hoptimus Posted September 13, 2013 Posted September 13, 2013 For me the original did not need to be remade. Especially not as a PG-13 and after the trailer I have no interest at all. Quote
CoryHolmes Posted September 14, 2013 Posted September 14, 2013 I didn't pay a whole lot of attention but it appears that this time Murphy keeps most of his body, so a guy in a suit is - in fact - just what he is. I thought the trailer said: Murphy: What kind of suit is this?! Lab Guy: Not a suit. It's... you. However, guy-in-a-suit will be a major strike against this film for me. Quote
EXO Posted September 14, 2013 Posted September 14, 2013 For me the original did not need to be remade. Especially not as a PG-13 and after the trailer I have no interest at all. Dit - to da -toe. Plus that close up movie poster shows that the suit is super rubbery... that's why it looks so much like a guy in suit. Quote
lechuck Posted September 14, 2013 Posted September 14, 2013 (edited) If he stays in the black armor, then it should at least be that his visor changes to blue, white or green when human part takes over. The black and red combo make him look too evil and unsympathetic for one to identify with. Edited September 14, 2013 by lechuck Quote
Black Valkyrie Posted September 14, 2013 Posted September 14, 2013 Guys did you watch Elite Squad 1&2 ? Quote
Lobizon Posted September 14, 2013 Posted September 14, 2013 Guys did you watch Elite Squad 1&2 ? That, you can find it on YouTube with full English subtitles, just use " Elite Squad " - Full (English Subtitles) as search criteria and for the sequel use,Tropa de Elite 2 - O Inimigo Agora É Outro (2010) - Full (English Subtitlles). Hope that helps Quote
BeyondTheGrave Posted September 15, 2013 Posted September 15, 2013 Yeah, I think that black suit is the source of fan discomfort. It feels too much like a guy-in-suit a less like robot while the "classic"-look feels more mechanical. I'm just gonna leave this here... Quote
azrael Posted September 15, 2013 Posted September 15, 2013 I'm just gonna leave this here... Not quite what I mean, but OK.... Quote
areaseven Posted September 15, 2013 Posted September 15, 2013 (edited) A lot of people have forgotten the art of being RoboCop. Here's Peter Weller to tell you more. Edited September 15, 2013 by areaseven Quote
Lobizon Posted September 15, 2013 Posted September 15, 2013 WTF is that? A fan film? RoboCop: Prime Directives (2000) (TV Mini-Series) Quote
Duke Togo Posted September 15, 2013 Posted September 15, 2013 RoboCop: Prime Directives (2000) (TV Mini-Series) Oh geezus, that looks horrid. Quote
electric indigo Posted September 15, 2013 Posted September 15, 2013 Wasn't there some in-movie logic in making him look more "human" (= man in suit) than the mechanized cylons we see patroling with the ED-209 in the trailer? Quote
Knight26 Posted September 15, 2013 Posted September 15, 2013 Oh geezus, that looks horrid. It was horrid, the guy they had to replace weller moved like freaking Kryten from Red Dwarf Quote
badboy00z Posted September 15, 2013 Posted September 15, 2013 RoboCop: Prime Directives (2000) (TV Mini-Series) I was a bit confused about the clip because I have seen all 3 films and don't remember such scene in any of them. I was beginning to doubt myself. lol I hope the new RoboCop moves like the original did because that was one of the things that made it memorable for me. Quote
CoryHolmes Posted September 15, 2013 Posted September 15, 2013 I agree. The robotic nature of the character will be made or broken by how the actor moves. If he does a good job with the mimes and dance instructors to get the movements fluid, then I'll believe. If not... Quote
areaseven Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 (edited) No more baby food for Robo this time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1JbEFRzpYI Edited September 16, 2013 by areaseven Quote
Dynaman Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 The old robocop moved the way he did since he was a robot, at first. The new one, since he is still "Murphy" underneath the suit does not have a reason to act robotic. Quote

BeyondTheGrave Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 (edited) WTF is that? A fan film? Nope There's also a TV series: Oh and the Prime Directives mini-series had this line in it.. Link Also lightsabers Edited September 16, 2013 by BeyondTheGrave Quote

The creators of RoboCop once said they were heavily influenced by Toei's Space Sheriff series (Gavan, Sharivan, Shaider) from the early '80s. Jiban was Toei's counter-nod to RoboCop. Quote
Gakken85 Posted September 21, 2013 Posted September 21, 2013 (edited) http://www.cracked.com/blog/5-signs-new-robocop-movie-might-be-terrible/ Putting a human hand on the end of a robot arm is like putting one of the gunners outside a tank: After the first fight, they're going to need to hose that pink smear off the bulletproof armor. The original Alex's face was pinned over the machinery, a human face stretched over the corporate machine to make it more acceptable. The new face looks like someone wearing a face-forming helmet, because Iron Man really made a lot of money and Hollywood really is that blatant Edited September 21, 2013 by Gakken85 Quote

renegadeleader1 Posted September 25, 2013 Posted September 25, 2013 I'm almost certain a WWE cross promo is in the works to if anything make fun of WCW. Well it can't get worse than Sheamus beng related to Beaker the muppet! Quote

Well it can't get worse than Sheamus beng related to Beaker the muppet! What are you talking about? on RAW was awesome, and so was 's guest appearance. If anything, not-RoboCop saving John Cena from The Shield will be better than The Three Stooges on RAW. Quote

areaseven Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 http://www.jadatoysinc.com/index.php Jada Toys RoboCop 2014 Action Figure First Official Photo EPIC FAIL. Jada Toys makes crappy diecast cars (just look at their Initial D line from a few years back). They have absolutely no expertise on action figures. So what makes them think they can pull this off? Judging by the photos, it looks like the figures are gonna be as abysmal as Hasbro's Iron Man 3 and Mattel's Man of Steel figures. MGM/Sony should've given the toy license to NECA like the original RoboCop. Quote
GU-11 Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 MGM/Sony should've given the toy license to NECA like the original RoboCop. That's exactly what I was expecting, too. Never even heard of this Jada before. Honestly, the first thing that comes to mind when I see that name is Will Smith's wife. To be fair, the 4" toys themselves don't look too bad, except for the "diaper crotch" syndrome the one on the right. Articulation remains to be seen. Quote

As I mentioned earlier, Jada Toys' business is mainly diecast cars targeted to ricers, lowriders and people with a chrome fetish. The not-RoboCop figures will be just like the Iron Man 3 figures: swivel joints in the neck, shoulders and hips only. That's it. Quote
ShadowerV2 Posted October 12, 2013 Posted October 12, 2013 Agreed, Square Enix does a good job w their armor based figures from the Play Arts Kai line. Well looks like it's happening. http://www.figures.com/forums/news/41131-nycc13-new-robocop-movie-gets-play-arts-kai.html Quote
