ROBOCOP Set Pics Feature Abbie Cornish, Michael Keaton, Joel Kinnaman

I was hoping that the new Robocop look would grow on me when I saw him with the mask. Boy, was a I ever wrong. We’ve got some new pics for you from the Jose Padhilla directed reboot of Robocop starring Joel Kinnaman, Michael Keaton and Abbie Cornish.

The images are pretty interesting, but what stands out to me most is the new shots of Kinnaman in the Robocop costume. Am I the only one who is really disappointed by the new look? The all black robot costume just has no character. At least on the old style, you could tell he was a robot, not just a typical shock troop.

Official Synopsis:
In RoboCop, the year is 2029 and multinational conglomerate OmniCorp is at the center of robot technology. Their drones are winning American wars around the globe and now they want to bring this technology to the home front. Alex Murphy is a loving husband, father and good cop doing his best to stem the tide of crime and corruption in Detroit. After he is critically injured in the line of duty, OmniCorp utilizes their remarkable science of robotics to save Alex’s life. He returns to the streets of his beloved city with amazing new abilities, but with issues a regular man has never had to face before.

Director José Padilha (Elite Squad) reimagines the tale of part man, part machine, all cop starring Joel Kinnaman (The Killing) as the title character, Gary Oldman (The Dark Knight Rises) as the scientist who creates RoboCop, and Samuel L. Jackson (The Avengers) as media mogul Pat Novak. RoboCop is being produced by Strike Entertainment’s Marc Abraham and Eric Newman, with Eric Carraro as Executive Producer. The film is currently in pre-production and slated for a summer 2013 release.
