Robocop Reboot Viral Campaign

[The_King_of_Everything]

That image above is a shot of the redesigned ED-209 automated security sentry drone from OmniCorp — you may remember the original ED-209 as the roaring, bullet-spitting hulk that went haywire in a boardroom demonstration and lead to the funding of RoboCop. (The funding of the fictional project/character, that is, not the funding of the original film.)

This image and the video that lies below the jump were revealed today as part of the early viral marketing campaign for Jose Padilha‘s new RoboCop, which will star Joel Kinnaman, Gary Oldman, Samuel L. Jackson and Hugh Laurie. The film is set for August 9, 2013, but you can see the new ED, and seemingly a tease of RoboCop, below.

Those with a keen memory for the original film will note that the video below seems to position ED and RoboCop as complimentary technology, rather than competing interests. So that’s a bit different than what we saw in the Paul Verhoeven movie. Wonder how that factors in to the new take?

[CoolazzFemale]

My mind is still open to the reboot.

 

[Orbital-Fetus]

I need this level of violence.

i remember this. they had to have a scene in the sequel that was comparable to Murphy getting blasted up in the original.

 

[Optimus Prime]

lets hope Robocop can run this time around...

 

[Orbital-Fetus]

lets hope Robocop can run this time around...

nah. that would be kinda weird.
but on second thought, it could add a fresh spin on it

 

[Ayatollah Watts]

lets hope Robocop can run this time around...

I wouldn't be disappointed if robocop had enhanced athleticism.

 

[Sonny Corinthos]

I need this level of violence.

Isn't that the scene in the first when ED_209 malfunctions and blasts that poor prick? Scene was off the chain!

 

[Optimus Prime]

nah. that would be kinda weird.
but on second thought, it could add a fresh spin on it

if its still set in the "near future Detroit" his tech should allow for running. We got dudes in the Olympics running with 2 carbon fiber legs now
