Joel Kinnaman was spotted in Vancouver last night, shooting scenes for the upcoming reboot of the 80's classic film, Robocop. Here we have some new photos of the star of The Killing, the actor was seen riding on a bike that looks very similar to Robocop's actual costume. Could this be another gift from Omnicorp? The film was shot at the Vancouver Olympic Cauldron, tonight however the film will be moving location to the Vancouver Convention Centre for another late night shoot.

































RoboCop is an upcoming 2014 American science fiction action film directed by José Padilha. It is a remake of the 1987 film of the same name, portraying the character's development into an officer transformed into a cyborg. The film stars Joel Kinnaman in the title role, with Gary Oldman as Dr. Robert Norton, Michael Keaton as Raymond Sellars, Samuel L. Jackson as Pat Novak, Abbie Cornish as Ellen Murphy, and Jackie Earle Haley as Maddox.

In 2028, multinational conglomerate OmniCorp is at the center of robot technology. Their drones are winning wars around the globe and now they want to bring this technology to the home front. Alex Murphy is a loving husband, father and good cop doing his best to fight crime and corruption in Detroit. After he is critically injured while on duty, OmniCorp utilize their knowledge in robotics to save Murphy's life. Murphy thus returns to the streets of his city with new abilities, but also with issues a regular man has never had to face before.

A couple of weeks ago I watched the original Robocop on Netflix, and boy is that a gruesome violent, hard R-rated movie... and I loved every second of it.

There's no way this thing isn't a watered down PG-13 remake. This saddens me.

This movie looks like its going to a sleeper. I think its going to reinvigorate the Robocop character and make him popular again. Maybe we'll see cartoons for him, comic books etc. I think this we'll be a kind of semi-epic film. The cast is great. They've surrounded Kinnaman with grade A casting. It reminds me of how Nolan said he wanted to cast his Batman films like Donner. Richard Donner surrounded his Reeve with a great and tenured cast. Nolan surrounded Bale with the same. Robocop looks to be doing the same.

Jobin is totally right. If this is not a hard R then it going to suck.

That why Robocop was so awesome and still is awesome to this day. Does anyone know if this will be R rated.

If they decided to say well we want kids to go see it then [frick] the studio.

The original maybe a fun cult favorite but this new version looks visually superior already. I'm all for the stealth suit instead of the cheesy chrome (spot you a mile away) original. As long as he doesn't walk like a child's wind up toy then I can see this movie eclipsing the original by a mile. Naturally fanboys will moan about their childhood being raped as usual because they're always the only ones who never grow up and move on from their childhood things. The rest of the world audience that matters will probably make this a sleeper hit.

@PeterDarker: A Guy built like a tank would also be incredibly pointless, since he can't chase perps and you can't always fire a missile at an escaping target.
He should move like Captain America, the perfect fusion of man and machine.

@ceejay & getsuga - you're kidding, right? uh, the whole point of the way he looked and moved is that he's supposed to be a BAD IDEA. he wasn't designed to be effective, he was created to be a flashy, shiny commercial for omni. it was set in detroit for a reason... he's supposed to remind you of a CAR.

this was a paul verhoeven film, man... we were supposed to HATE what they did to murphy, and the fact that he was ultimately victorious was supposed to be sadly ironic in that corporate commercialism and big industry succeeded in making us want what they wanted instead of what we knew was right.

@AlternateNo4: which is EXACTLY why this is a reboot.
It's a chance to show that he's become the perfect fusion of man and machine, the ultimate success of Corporate America, that humans are now obsolete. Machines can do better.
It's not 100% like the original. You're right, the original DOES bring up all those points you've mentioned, but as i said, this is a reboot, a chance to explore somethign different or (as i've just pointed out) the same in a different manner. All in all, i want to see what WETA can deliver.

I'm guessing that this will let us down just like the Total Recall remake did. When was the last time that an 80's reboot was successful?

Ya I agree with the points about how he's built like a tank and therefore moves like one. He wasn't made to be a commercial, OCP made him to help privatize policing in their effort to take control of Detroit. He was an urban assault weapon against crime. Anyone that says he can't chase down perps has never seen Robocop because he's chased down plenty of perps across 3 movies. He's all about bein a super durable urban pacification cyborg. He's not a dude in a robot suit with ninja agility. I could see some bad guys designed like that, kinda like the asian robot in 3. Robo need's the big chest, massive feet with thundering steps and an overall robotic feel. He is a robot after all.

This will do just as well as the Total Recall remake.

I doubt this will have the balls to even be as satirical as Shane Black's Iron Man 3, what with its American Vets as suicide bombers, Osama Bin Laden as a theatrical patsy, the President crucified while wearing his empty patriotic gesture of a defense, and the military industrial complex happily managing a conflict that need never end and cut into their bottom line. Hell, simply painting the War Machine armor Red, White and Blue and market testing the name "Iron Patriot" with focus groups shows more satirical edge than that Robobatman design up there.

And make no mistake... Iron Man 3 was way more watered down as satire than the original Robocop.

RPD: you saw the original 1987 Robocop when it came out, and yet you seem to think it was a cult hit that is only cool to like now?

I'm not usually this guy, but does your mom know that you're using the Internet?
