CBN: Yesterday saw the release of the new Robocop trailer, which actually looked pretty darn good. It did it's job and got me excited.
Robocop. Part man. Part machine. All cop - except for how he eats baby food instead of doughnuts. We look back at the franchise.
Robocop, 35 Years Later A lot of people probably remember 1987’s RoboCop as a movie with pro-law and order politics.
"They'll fix you. They fix everything." While that line arrived courtesy of Peter Weller's Alex Murphy in Paul Verhoeven's "RoboCop," it was an ominous omen for the franchise, and accurately describes the attitude of Hollywood towards remakes. The 2014 "RoboCop" reboot starred Joel Kinnaman as the titular character, supported by the likes of Abbie Cornish, Michael Keaton, Gary Oldman, and Samuel L. Jackson in other pivotal roles. Unfortunately, the sci-fi action blockbuster didn't define its era like the original "RoboCop" did in the 1980s, feeling more like a cash-in than a reinvention for a modern age.
