A lot of classics would be grilled now and a lot of 'bad' movies would be worshiped back then. I sincerely believe this.

Someone needs to shoop this on the helmet:


Unrelated to me or my avatar, by the way.



Seriously, to those asking "What is the big deal?" after countless remakes and relaunches of movies and shows that more or less just piss all over the source material just for the sake of changing shit is the big deal. Robocop SHOULD NOT look like he's rocking a full Chinese Stealth Suit from Fallout 3/NV. Robocop SHOULD NOT look like Grey Fox and/or Raiden. Robocop should look like fucking Robocop. Updating it is fine, but making it look 100%

Robocop's uniform is iconic. It's established. And then, someone goes "let's change it up and make it look *cool* just because we can!" Yes, there's a chance it will be cgi'd in the end and that it's a placeholder, but more likely, that's the on screen end result, just sans any lighting effects like blinking leds or even the blue-tinged-silver finish... but people thought that about The Tumbler from all the Batman movies, that it were just some placeholder for a cg Batmobille, and they just left it looking like the monsterous love child of a Humvee and one of those multi-angled Rubix's cubes. Just from this one glance, it totally looks like they took a dump on the source material.

And given that, if they didn't even bother trying to make the damn suit look remotely similar to the obvious audience- those who will want to hope to see with nostalgic eyes- that usually speaks volumes about what will be bad writing/bad plot. Who cares about the audience liking it, reccommending it to their friends, or possibly seeing it repeadedly (like people did with a film like Avengers) and eventually also buying it on Blu-Ray? Opening weekend is the be-all end-all. Well, guess what? Getting the suit right is one thing that could have HELPED put butts in seats.

Not to be troll or anything but people need to calm the fuck down. Maybe it is a soulless cash in; so what? The Robocop trilogy is on DVD, rock it.

And this:

...Makes no damn sense. You want it updated or you want a rerun? The Amazing Spider-Man I understand, but this is a long time between movies. Surely changes were going to happen.

So does the visor flip up solely for the benefit if the actor? The Coming Soon leak was of two pictures, one with the visor up.

I'm getting sick of having my posts implode and having to re-form my ideas from scratch...

This is my 3rd time writing this response. Each time, it gets less concise because once I write it, the idea is out of my head. I kind of remember the gist, but... ugh.

Firstly "but making it look 100%" was a sentence fragment. Thus, it didn't make sense. It was supposed to be more like "... but making it look 100% different from the original, established source doesn't make a whole lot of sense."

The impression is kind of like someone going:

"Hey, we're making a new "Raiders" movie... but we're casting Terry Crewes as Indy, giving him a modern set of weapons in place of his pistol and whip even though it's the 1940's, and nixing the fedora and jacket." That sounds like a decent movie (like, as "The Expendables"), as Indiana Jones however, that same visual is suddenly horrible.

It's like my theory on the debackle that was Square Pictures. One simple solution to avoiding disaster was simply not throwing "Final Fantasy" in the name of "The Spirits Within". It was a decent story, the animation was top notch, and all in all it wasn't a bad movie. However, by adding "Final Fantasy" to try to ride their success off years of making the games, they ushered in a whole slew of expectations on what exactly the movie should be instead of letting it be it's own thing. I think you shouldn't call it a Robocop movie if Robocop doesn't look like Robocop, as the idea isn't really pulled out of thin air. I mean, could you imagine the shitstorm if that same photo were supposed to be of, say, Batman?


@KK - It won't intially impact attendance, no. The idea of "blockbuster" is to recoup the budget AND make an inisane profit on the opening weekend. The problem I was referring to here is that it's like nobody looks past that. If the movie isn't that good, word gets around. You'll make a quick buck, but it'll get forgotten and you won't make nearly as much as "ZOMG, DID YOU SEE ___?! YOU NEED TO!" movies in the long run.

Hey, it might turn out to be a decent flick. I realize one pic isn't really enough to doom the entire project to failure. However, that one pic already looks to be a step in the wrong direction.

That sounds like a decent movie (like, as "The Expendables"), as Indiana Jones however, that same visual is suddenly horrible.
Except they're setting it in the future, an amorphous entity whose vision changes with time. Can't speak to the concept of the actor being changed, because I don't know any of the things this dude's been in except Dragon Tattoo, which I haven't seen. There's no evidence they're nixing the old style of weapons yet, and so on.

I think the comparison falls apart if you look at it. But the crucial point of the armour is that it was designed that way in the 80s because that's largely what future stuff looked like in the 80s. This is a different era. Visions of the future are now different. I imagine the T-800 could probably use an overhaul, too.

I'm still curious about the visor flipping up. The other leaked picture shows it up. I'm wondering if this is for the benefit of the actor, or is this really not the Robocop suit per se. But that's just speculation and I'm probably wrong.

Still.

It's like my theory on the debackle that was Square Pictures. One simple solution to avoiding disaster was simply not throwing "Final Fantasy" in the name of "The Spirits Within". It was a decent story, the animation was top notch, and all in all it wasn't a bad movie. However, by adding "Final Fantasy" to try to ride their success off years of making the games, they ushered in a whole slew of expectations on what exactly the movie should be instead of letting it be it's own thing.
You mean people would have stopped calling the animation "shit," nitpicking the hair movement, and caring about the plot holes if they had either thrown in Chocobos or dropped the Final Fantasy tag? I don't buy it.

Quote:
I think you shouldn't call it a Robocop movie if Robocop doesn't look like Robocop, as the idea isn't really pulled out of thin air. I mean, could you imagine the shitstorm if that same photo were supposed to be of, say, Batman?
You mean if they turned Batman into a cyborg? Technically yes, but that's more Highlander 2 territory than anything we have to go with here.

But did you see all the changes when they rebooted Batman? Weren't those Nolan films just awful because of it?

Quote:
@KK - It won't intially impact attendance, no. The idea of "blockbuster" is to recoup the budget AND make an inisane profit on the opening weekend. The problem I was referring to here is that it's like nobody looks past that. If the movie isn't that good, word gets around. You'll make a quick buck, but it'll get forgotten and you won't make nearly as much as "ZOMG, DID YOU SEE ___?! YOU NEED TO!" movies in the long run.
I don't think that's necessarily the case.

Again, I direct you to Nolan's Batman. Star Wars: Episodes 4-6. Indiana Jones. Spider-Man (I think Raimi is shit and so are these movies, but whatever).

The definition of Blockbuster has some variation, but the above are pretty commonly agreed upon.

Quote:
Hey, it might turn out to be a decent flick. I realize one pic isn't really enough to doom the entire project to failure. However, that one pic already looks to be a step in the wrong direction.
But again, the emphasis is on "looks to be," rather than is. There's no guarantee they're killing the franchise with this based on aesthetics. Hell, if what Kalyx is saying is right, they're locking on to an even more important element of the original: a satirical take on modern society set in the future.

Yeah, imo the important thing about robocop isn't so much about the costume, as it is the satire, and the atmosphere of it.

As Kalyx says, they seem to get it.

also, that ED-209 is badass.

Costume and helmet looks more like a generic version of the Judge Dredd reboot costume.

The ED-209 robot does look really nice though.

Hrm.

So in Robocop '87 this guy who brought Murphy back from the dead, basically his ¨savior¨, was just an arrogant Yuppie asshole whose only investment in the hero was as a ploy to get himself up the corporate ladder. His attitude was ¨An organic arm isn't in the blueprints. Fuck his humanity, cut it off.¨ Maybe this still is a sign that Remake Bob Morton is going to be a more predictable ally / mentor / friend character, like Dr. Eskine in Captain America?

Or maybe Robo took the glove off for a minute between takes.

Or they could be spoofing the first movie.

But then, he probably was texting updates to Twitter.
