It’s thrilling. Okay so no it isn’t, but people eat this Robocop stuff up, so take a look at the new Alex Murphy riding a bike through the city.
The film has a great cast that includes Joel Kinnaman, Abbie Cornish, Gary Oldman, Michael Keaton, Samuel L. Jackson, Jackie Earle Haley, Michael K. Williams, Jay Baruchel, Jennifer Ehle, and Marianne Jean-Baptiste, and is directed by Jose Padilha. After a bunch of negative fanfare, the film has been pretty quiet for awhile now. It’s heading for a February 7th, 2014 release. »

Every single image we see of the new RoboCop suit makes us cringe. We keep telling ourselves, "It will look better in motion. Jose Padilha can make this work!" This latest crop though? Damn. See for yourself.

With Phase 3 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe getting ready to debut for 2015 with the release of Ant-Man, we are going to have a character that is completely new to the comic book movie universe. I am excited for this film as I absolutely love Edgar Wright’s work, from Shaun of The Dead to Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, and I was over the moon when I found out he was directing Ant-Man for Marvel Studios. In order to make sure this doesn’t become the next Green Lantern, however, he should cast an actor who is perfect for the role in the same way Robert Downey Jr. was perfect for Tony Stark. Let’s get on with it.
This guy just screams superhero to me; he is set to appear as Alex Murphy/Robocop in the upcoming 2014 remake of the classic film, and he was on the »

When it comes to remakes the reaction of most film fans appears to be a very negative one, and who could blame them? Hollywood ran out of ideas some years ago, so they often try to appeal to newer audiences remaking cult classics. However no remake has a bigger share of hate than Jose Padilha’s Robocop. Why?
After seeing how people are reacting about the Evil Dead remake and the Carrie remake it’s quite confusing to me to see that they’re giving them a chance but not to this one.
So, in order to prove my point, here are the five reasons of why you should be excited about Jose Padilha’s Robocop.
5. The Approach To The Plot
As usual when there’s a reboot or a remake of a classic movie or series there has to be some changes: Christopher Nolan’s Batman is a prime example, »

Actor Joel Kinnaman is in negotiations to reunite with director Daniel Espinosa for the upcoming thriller Child 44. The two have worked together on the international hit Easy Money (a.k.a. Snabba Cash) and last year's action-thriller Safe House.
The story is set in 1950s Russia, centering on a Soviet military police officer (Tom Hardy) who becomes the target of his suspicious government while investigating a string of child murders. Joel Kinnaman will play the killer responsible for these brutal deaths. Noomi Rapace also stars as the wife of Tom Hardy's character.
Daniel Espinosa is directing from a screenplay by Richard Price, adapted from the Tom Rob Smith novel of the same name. Production will begin sometime this summer.
Joel Kinnaman will next be seen in the sci-fi reboot RoboCop as Alex Murphy, and he recently signed on to star in Run All Night alongside Liam Neeson. He »

I might be one of the few people left who is excited for director Jose Padilha's reboot of RoboCop. I love everything I've seen from the set photos in regards to the suit, and I like the direction that they plan on taking the film. I think it's going to be one of those movies that turns out a lot better than what people are expecting. One of the film's stars, Abbie Cornish, recently did an interview with VH1 and praised the film saying...
It's gonna be a massively kick-ass film. I actually have a voicemail message from Jose Padilha, the director. He says in the message, 'I don't think we've got a great movie. I think we've got a classic.'
I hope she's right, because that would be awesome. The movie comes out on February 7th, 2014, and stars Joel Kinnaman, Gary Oldman, Michael Keaton, Samuel L. Jackson, »

There are likely still many who have doubts about the upcoming RoboCop remake, starring Joel Kinnaman as Detroit cop Alex Murphy. Actress Abbie Cornish, who plays Alex's wife Ellen, recently praised director José Padilha's work, and believes the movie will become a "classic."
"It's gonna be a massively kick-ass film. I actually have a voicemail message from José Padilha, the director. He says in the message, 'I don't think we've got a great movie. I think we've got a classic.' It's pretty amazing. I was five when the movie came out, but I remember it like it was yesterday. I grew up with brothers, so we would replay that VHS over and over again. I think people are going to get a lot more than what they think they're going to the cinema for. It's not only entertaining, but it's got heart, and it's going to be a classic. »

The new horror anthology "The ABCs of Death" wants to give gorehounds what they want in alphabetical order by representing each of their 26 segments with a letter. That's fine with us, since we always have plenty of death scenes organized with the Dewey Decimal System, and here are 15 of the most memorable, bloody, and enjoyable ones in the bunch.
Oh yeah, um, spoilers.
Taketoki Washizu in 'Throne of Blood' (1957)
'A' is for 'Arrows'
In one of Akira Kurosawa's many samurai epics with star/badass supreme Toshiro Mifune, the two of them created the kind of arrow-related death that "Lord of the Rings" elf Legolas must dream about at night. By the time this Macbeth stand-in is done for he's got more wood in him than Jenna Jameson and resembles a stoned porcupine. Sayonara, sucker!

Update: It has just been brought to my attention that the following pic isn’t Combat Mode Robocop but Em-208 Humanoid Drone, which is part of OmniCorp’s product line. Oops. My bad.
Not for nothing, this looks Badass!
Check out the awesome image of a Robocop in I think his militarized combat mode. Probably the 3.0 version that invades an Al-Qaeda camp. He supposedly goes from “social mode” to “combat mode” and back. What do you guys think? Chime in below! Thanks to Dan for the pic!
MGM and Sony will drop the movie in theaters on August 9, 2013.

Peter Weller clearly likes being a part of legendary entertainment franchises.
Back on movie screens this summer in "Star Trek Into Darkness," the actor-director voices the title hero in Tuesday's (Jan. 29) home-video premiere of the animated "Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Part 2." He also updates a classic episode of the original "Hawaii Five-0" by playing the double-amputee nemesis in a remake of 1973's "Hookman" for the current CBS show on Feb. 4. He also directed the episode.
And then, there is arguably Weller's most famous role of all: RoboCop, the futuristic incarnation of Alex Murphy, a police officer wounded so badly by enemies that it takes making him a cyborg to keep him alive and active. Directed by Paul Verhoeven and released in 1987, "RoboCop" yielded two theatrical sequels and several television series, two of them animated.
The concept will get a fresh start with the new version Columbia Pictures and MGM plan to release next February. »
