sketchley Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 (edited) -That hand..... I still don't know what to think about that... It's so he can do things like: Edited October 9, 2012 by sketchley Quote

mechaninac Posted October 12, 2012 Posted October 12, 2012 The helmet is kind of okay, but the rest of the costume... just not feeling it; it looks like a Batman inspired power suit, or like the one in the GI-Joe movie, not a robot/android; and it's not the matte rubber look with glossy shoulder pauldrons and other bits, it's the whole aesthetics of the thing... on its own it fails miserably at visually conveying the very underlying theme of a dead cop grafted to a robot body.

PetarB Posted October 12, 2012 Posted October 12, 2012 Absolutely no PR photography or images ever go out without being severely photoshopped in many obvious and subtle ways. That does not look like an official photo though, the treatment looks way too amateurish. Quote
Reïvaj Posted October 12, 2012 Posted October 12, 2012 I wonder if the bare hand is for tactile ability, especially for gun-handling since the sensation of touch is still difficult to replicate with machines. Not to mention that it's still difficult to rebuild cops into machines! Quote
EXO Posted October 12, 2012 Posted October 12, 2012 That just looks soooooo Photoshop'd. Yeah, it's horrible. It's was Frankensteined together and then mirrored down the center. lol. Quote
renegadeleader1 Posted October 12, 2012 Posted October 12, 2012 Maybe keeping one real arm is a callback to the original movie where they joke about being able to save one of his arms while rebuilding Murphy into Robocop. They should do some freaky cyberpunk thing like that one episode of AD Police where a cyborg only has his original tongue and he needs to bite it to feel alive. That wasn't his arm they were talking about, it was his third leg Quote
azrael Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 So he's got a motorcycle... And an meh-looking thing at best. Quote
505thAirborne Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 If his motorcycle looked more like Yellows Blowsuperior Ride-Armor or from BGC the Highway Star I'd be more impressed. Quote
mikeszekely Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 So he's got a motorcycle... I actually like it. I think it's one of the better designs I've seen for the movie. Quote
GU-11 Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 Personally, I think bike looks like the designer's trying too hard to make it look cool and high-tech. Too much unnecessary detailing and panel lines, yet the overall form is that of a very generic current day racing bike. I know bikes haven't evolved much aesthetically through the decades, but this "robo-bike" has absolutely nothing to distinguish itself from all the others. Quote
electric indigo Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 ^ exactly! On the other hand, it fits well with the generic action-figure design of the suit. Quote
EXO Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 Street Hawk! ISn't more Knight Rider than anything? All black with the red line in the front? Quote
Greyryder Posted October 15, 2012 Posted October 15, 2012 Team Knight Rider!! I just want that cliffhanger ending resolved! Quote
azrael Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 Looks like we'll be seeing this later rather than sooner. 'Elysium' lands August 2013, 'RoboCop' to 2014 - Sony gives summer slot to Blomkamp's sci-fi pic while 'RoboCop' moves to Feb. 7 Take it how you will. Quote
azrael Posted October 22, 2012 Posted October 22, 2012 Some more set photos: ROBOCOP: Joel Kinnaman Takes His Turn On The Motorcycle; Close-Up Of A Perp Is that a holster on his thigh? Ya kidding me? A addon holster? His gun isn't in his thigh? Quote
CoryHolmes Posted October 22, 2012 Posted October 22, 2012 The more I see of this suit, the more I'm sold on it. Interest level is rising, though I maintain that my breaking point is the mime artist. Decent mime artist = I'll buy that for a dollar! Quote
Dynaman Posted October 22, 2012 Posted October 22, 2012 I'm the opposite, the more I see the less I like it (the movie that is, I could not be any less impressed with the suit then the first time I saw it) Quote
Black Valkyrie Posted October 22, 2012 Posted October 22, 2012 Man ! Michael Keaton is enough that he's in the movie. I'm Batman. Quote
Greyryder Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 Some more set photos: ROBOCOP: Joel Kinnaman Takes His Turn On The Motorcycle; Close-Up Of A Perp Is that a holster on his thigh? Ya kidding me? A addon holster? His gun isn't in his thigh? Might not actually be seen on camera. Might just be there so the actor can reach down and grab the gun. Then, they'll do the opening thigh thing in post production. At least, that's what I'm hoping. Quote
Gaijin Posted November 3, 2012 Posted November 3, 2012 Might not actually be seen on camera. Might just be there so the actor can reach down and grab the gun. Then, they'll do the opening thigh thing in post production. At least, that's what I'm hoping. It better be. It better be... Quote
GU-11 Posted November 17, 2012 Posted November 17, 2012 ED is an improvement from the first concept art we saw at the fake OCP site, but now it reminds me of a brown crab. Not bad, but not groundbreaking either. Quote
azrael Posted November 17, 2012 Posted November 17, 2012 Some more shots from that concept footage: New ROBOCOP Licensing Sizzle Reel Featuring Concept Art The concept looks a lot better than what they're filming right now.... Quote
Twoducks Posted November 17, 2012 Posted November 17, 2012 I like ED the Crab. Old suit with the metallic contrast looked a lot better than the all black version being filmed. Quote
Omegablue Posted November 17, 2012 Posted November 17, 2012 I thought the all black rubber suit was temporary, and later in the film he gets the metal additionals? Still deslike that bare hand. "Hey people, lets make a billion Dollar robot cop that is better than a human, but keep his fleshy hand, yes, the one he aims and shoots with. Well done engineers." Quote
Dobber Posted November 17, 2012 Posted November 17, 2012 I think it said he'll start with the metallic and black suit and then be upgraded to the all black one we've been seeing. I also think the mattalic one looks so much better. Chris Quote
CoryHolmes Posted November 17, 2012 Posted November 17, 2012 Sizzle real video is taken down already Quote
Omegablue Posted November 17, 2012 Posted November 17, 2012 I think it said he'll start with the metallic and black suit and then be upgraded to the all black one we've been seeing. I also think the mattalic one looks so much better. Oh, so they're going backwards... Quote
