Comic-Con: RoboCop Returns
Sony Pictures gave fans at today’s San Diego Comic-Con their first look at their upcoming RoboCop reboot. Stars Joel Kinnaman, Abbie Cornish, Samuel L. Jackson, Michael Keaton and director Jose Padilha were all on hand to screen some footage from the 2014 release.
The first sequence shown was a TV news set-piece following OmniCorp’s deployment of battle droids and ED-209s during the American occupation of Iran during “Operation Freedom.” The TV reporter embedded with the robot military unit is touting their success at keeping the peace — which we see is the pure intimidation of unarmed citizens — when an explosion rocks the street and the OmniCorp droids turn lethal. This entire TV news segment is hosted by Pat Novak, a firebrand pundit on a Fox News-style network. (Jackson described his character as “Rush Sharpton” in a nod to the outspoken duo of Rush Limbaugh and Al Sharpton.)
