Columbia Pictures has released the first theatrical trailer for their upcoming sci-fi action film RoboCop. The film is directed by José Padilha and stars Joel Kinnaman, Douglas Urbanski, Abbie Cornish, Michael Keaton, Gary Oldman, Jay Baruchel, Samuel L. Jackson, and Jackie Earle Haley. RoboCop is scheduled to hit theaters on February 7, 2014.
In RoboCop, the year is 2028 and multinational conglomerate OmniCorp is at the center of robot technology. Overseas, their drones have been used by the military for years — and it’s meant billions for OmniCorp’s bottom line. Now OmniCorp wants to bring their controversial technology to the home front, and they see a golden opportunity to do it. When Alex Murphy (Joel Kinnaman) — a loving husband, father and good cop doing his best to stem the tide of crime and corruption in Detroit — is critically injured in the line of duty, OmniCorp sees their chance for a part-man, part-robot police officer. OmniCorp envisions a RoboCop in every city and even more billions for their shareholders, but they never counted on one thing: there is still a man inside the machine pursuing justice.
RoboCop is a remake of the 1987 film which was directed by Paul Verhoeven and starred Peter Weller, Nancy Allen, Ronny Cox, and Kurtwood Smith.
