Never doubt the power of the internet and a firestorm of terrible PR for a film to get someone’s attention and maybe reconsider doing things different. About two months ago the first photos for the RoboCop remake, directed by Jose Padilha, surfaced and fans were not happy. The new suit which was worn by the new Murphy, Joel Kinnaman, looked terrible and couldn’t have been further from what RoboCop should look like. In fact let me just go ahead and remind everyone of what the suit looked
Now as you can see there are some huge differences between the 80’s version and the current version. You can probably also tell why fans were pretty pissed when they saw these photos. I mean come on, this looks like a mix between a Mass Effect outfit and that supersuit they wore in the first G.I. Joe film.
Granted we don’t know if there were plans all along to have the suits “evolve” but this isn’t Iron Man we are talking about here who has a new suit for everyday of the week, it’s Robocop! Anyways, it seems like we are getting a new suit for the film or maybe this is a modified version of the one above that will appear later in the movie. Either way, I am much more excited for this suit compared to the prior one.
The pic should be considered a bit spoilerish so you have been warned. Thanks to CBM for the picture.
There was also a tweet attached with the photo from the guy who took the picture.
@thealexlynch97the whole film he will wear that one… that’s the new slick design..

I do want to reiterate that this could all be part of the plan for the film and there could be multiple suits for Murphy. However, I like to believe in the power of the people and chalk this one up to you, the fans! Good Job!
