RoboCop is a 2014 American 3D science fiction action film directed by José Padilha. It is a remake of the 1987 film of the same name and reboot of the RoboCop franchise. The film stars Joel Kinnaman in the title role, with Gary Oldman,Michael Keaton, Samuel L. Jackson, Abbie Cornish and Jackie Earle Haley in supporting roles.
Screen Gems first announced a remake in 2005, but it was halted one year later. Darren Aronofsky and David Selfwere originally assigned to direct and write the film, respectively, for a tentative 2010 release. The film was delayed numerous times, and Padilha signed on in 2011. In March 2012, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (successor company to Orion Pictures until September 11, 2014, the studio that released the original film) announced an August 2013 release, but that was then changed to February 2014. The principal characters were cast from March to July 2012. Principal photography began in September 2012 in Toronto[7] and Vancouver in Canada,[8] with additional locations in Hamilton, Ontario, and Detroit in the United States.
The film first premiered in Malaysia, Singapore and Taiwan on January 30, 2014. It was later released in the United States on February 12, 2014. The film received mixed reviews, with praise towards the performances, updates, style and political/media satire, but criticism for the comparisons to the original film, such as lack of violence, social satire and character development. RoboCop grossed $242 million at the box office worldwide, making it the highest grossing film in the RoboCop franchise.
