Sony has revealed the teaser trailer for the sci-fi remake of RoboCop [ROBOC] on Apple. The original 1987 film is considered a sci-fi classic with its timely socio-political allegories as well as numerous quotables. Fanboys dismayed by the rubbery look initial black suit should be happy that the gleaming silver suit has been retained. "I'd buy that for a dollar!"
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 [JKINN]) – 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 hits the streets next year on February 7th.
