Columbia Pictures bring us gritty, futuristic action aplenty in their new production next Spring.Columbia Pictures and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer have today released the second full theatrical trailer (below) for their upcoming action film RoboCop. A remake of the titular 1987 classic, the film stars Gary Oldman, Michael Keaton and Samuel L. Jackson, with newcomer Joel Kinnaman taking on its lead role.
On first impressions, RoboCop has the potential to at least shine in the box office. This isn't a flick which will likely bother any Film of the Year 2014 awards shortlists, but it should entice the fans of the original and perhaps even introduce a whole new generation of viewers into the series' beloved mythology. Releasing in the early months of the year should in addition enable it to avoid the major Spring and Summer blockbusters, which in turn will allow us to determine fully whether the franchise has any real right to return...
RoboCop blasts into cinemas worldwide on February 12th, 2014.
