Director José Padilha introduces the second trailer for the remake of RoboCop [ROBOC] starring Joel Kinnaman [JKINN], Samuel L. Jackson [SLJAC] and Michael Keaton [MKEAT]. Modern technology has nearly caught up to those depicted in the 1987 classic sci-fi film, which was ahead of its times in foreshadowing the use of robotic drones. RoboCop hits theaters beginning February 12th.
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 - 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 to build 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.
