‘RoboCop’ Viral Campaign Reveals the New ED-209
From slashfilm, That image above is a shot of the redesigned ED-209 automated security sentry drone from OmniCorp — you may remember the original ED-209 as the roaring, bullet-spitting hulk that went haywire in a boardroom demonstration and lead to the funding of RoboCop. (The funding of the fictional project/character, that is, not the funding of the original film.)
This image and the video that lies below the jump were revealed today as part of the early viral marketing campaign for Jose Padilha‘s new RoboCop, which will star Joel Kinnaman, Gary Oldman, Samuel L. Jackson and Hugh Laurie. The film is set for August 9, 2013, but you can see the new ED, and seemingly a tease of RoboCop, below.
Those with a keen memory for the original film will note that the video [above] seems to position ED and RoboCop as complimentary technology, rather than competing interests. So that’s a bit different than what we saw in the Paul Verhoeven movie. Wonder how that factors in to the new take?

Jeepers, Total Recall and now a Robocop remake? I suppose I shouldn't be surprised anymore that the sci-fi popcorn flicks of my teens are rich loam for new movies, but I am.
Is there a Terminator remake coming?
(Just went to look that up and got totally distracted.)
I don't really care about the Total Recall remake (aside from the fact that they had better keep the 3 boobed woman or they'll have a riot on their hands) but I fully welcome anything Robocop. I recently watched the Robocop TV series and it was better than expected.
Don't trust the ED-209 for one second!
