Joel Kinnaman: RoboCop is a re-imagination of the original

The actor claimed that the newer version will be more realistic and a lot more human. He insisted that the remake will be inspired from the 1987 original but it will be a re-imagination of it.

Robocop was a Sci-Fi action movie in the late 80s and was a famous movie of its time. The first part, made on a $13 million budget, grossed an impressive $53 million lifetime business. There were two more parts released in the next six years but they were not as successful as the first one.

Kinnaman insisted that he is a huge fan of the original Paul Verhoeven version and admitted that he has watched the movie several times. The actor added that the story of the newer version has been inspired by the 1987 film and there are many things retained in the remake.

“The first movie is one of my favourite movies. I love it. Of course, Verhoeven has that very special tone, and it’s not going to have that tone. It’s a re-imagination of it. There’s a lot of stuff from the original. There are some details and throwbacks, but this version is a much better acting piece, for Alex Murphy and especially when he is RoboCop. It’s much more challenging,” he was quoted as saying in an interview.

On the other hand, the American artist revealed that there is still work going on for the suit and how the character would look.

“It’s not going to be jaw action. They’re still working on the suit and how it’s going to look, but the visor is going to be see-through. You’re going to see his eyes,” he concluded.

RoboCop is slated to release on August 9, 2013.
