robocop

It’s only been four years since Sony’s attempt to reboot RoboCop with Joel Kinnaman as the cop-turned-crime-fighting-cyborg — though you’d be forgiven if you’ve already forgotten the bland remake of Paul Verhoeven’s satirical 1987 sci-fi classic. That might be an advantage for MGM, which is plotting a new RoboCop movie with District 9 and Chappie director Neill Blomkamp at the helm.

I’d buy that for a dollar!

It was Robocop Day this week in Detroit. To help celebrate the day Tuesday, the Detroit Tigers had RoboCop come to Comerica Park and throw out the ceremonial first pitch before their Major League Baseball game against the Toronto Blue Jays.

When 'RoboCop' got pushed from an August 2013 release date to February 2014, everyone assumed it would open stronger when far away from the busy summer months. If this is the better of the two options, then we can't even imagine how poorly it would have opened in the warmer months. The remake of the 1987 classic is definitely not a disaster, but it most certainly underperformed.

There are good days, there are bad days, and then there are days when you confuse Samuel L. Jackson with Laurence Fishburne and find yourself at the mercy of an actor whose voice can make even the strongest man whimper in terror. This sounds like a joke, but it actually happened on live television, and since this is the internet, it will never go away and the news anchor who made the tragic error

The original 'RoboCop' remains a classic for a number of reasons, and one of them is the film's wonderful cast of memorable character actors. Since the remake needs as much help as it can get to live up to the gold standard of the film it's rebooting, it has followed suit and jammed as many high-quality thespians into the production as humanly possible. A new gallery of images has premiered, and r

In a move that not only promotes the upcoming 'RoboCop' remake but also attempts to strike fear in the hearts of potential drunk drivers, Sony Pictures has partnered with the National Highway Safety Administration for a new PSA: "Drive sober or get pulled over" ... by RoboCop!

'The Killing' star Joel Kinnaman has become our rebooted RoboCop, and the newly dropped 'RoboCop' trailer previews the jarring transformation he must endure to become the new breed of soldier.

After days of teasing, the new 'RoboCop' trailer has hit the web, featuring stars Michael Keaton, Gary Oldman, Samuel L. Jackson and, of course, RoboCop himself, Joel Kinnaman.

It's always surprising when high-profile movies change their opening days with only months or weeks to spare. So break out your calendars and raise your eyebrows, movie fans, because a few major Sony releases have shifted. Two of them are fairly minor, but the third definitely sends up a red flag or two.

A PG-13 'Robocop' remake? That's what we're getting, and the first trailer plays up the familiar elements ("oh look, ED-209"), but also seems to put the focus on the role of free will in Alex Murphy (played by Joel Kinnaman), who becomes part man, part machine, and all cop.

While 'Sons of Anarchy' fans were already revved up to learn that season 6 would premiere with a 90-minute installment on September 10, it seems the FX biker drama had one more major casting coup in store. Having served behind the scenes directing a number of episodes, 'RoboCop' himself, Peter Weller will antagonize the SAMCRO boys with a role on 'Sons of Anarchy' season 6!
