Why can't I find the original Robocop thread? Someone mentioned the TV edit and the dubs made, I thought they would enjoy these clips from it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSfMq1apGXU

Trailer!
[EDIT] I think this is pretty spoilerific...

Well, it looks better than I feared, but it's still going to suffer the same problems as the Total Recall remake in that they've removed any humour (it was very black, but it was definitely there) and tweaked the story slightly so it feels like somebody telling a joke you've heard before - you know the punchline, so it loses its impact, and they way it's told is slightly different and you prefer it the way you first heard it...

Disappointing. Not sure if Murphy
retaining his memory was such a wise idea. One of the things I love about the original is the fact that his family are unaware of his resurrection and the journey that leads up to him getting his identity back.
Kinnaman is excellent in The Killing and he has the chops to portray a character as conflicted as Robocop but I worry that it's going to be tackled in the most shallow, clich? way possible. From the trailer,
it looks like they're going to have his thinking augmented by programming to give the illusion of free will. They may have tackled something similar to this with Directive 4 in the original but if the story in the remake basically consists of Murphy realising that he's not in control and trying to break his programming, I'll probably feel like I'm watching a big screen version of Kryten trying to lie about a banana inbetween explosions.
