‘Robocop’ Gets A Slick New Poster

Briefly: Following the impressive first trailer released last weeek, Columbia Pictures has just debuted a slick new poster for José Padilha’s Robocop remake.

It’s the same black suit that we saw in the trailer, but I’ll be damned if it doesn’t look gorgeously contrasted on that white background. Take a look at the image below, and let us know what you think!

I wasn’t really expecting too much from this remake, but seeing the first trailer definitely raises my hope for the picture. I didn’t think a new Robocop could be cool (it is 2013, after all), but Joel Kinnaman looks bad-ass in the role. Then again, the new Total Recall looked pretty fantastic too… and we all know how that one turned out (bad).

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.
