Movie trailer round-up: ‘RoboCop’, ‘Neighbors’ & ‘Gravity’

Paul Verhoeven’s 1987 sci-fi classic is getting an action-packed and explosive remake. Brazilian director José Padilha helms the new RoboCop with The Killing‘s Joel Kinnaman as police officer turned cyborg Alex Murphy. Gary Oldman, Michael Keaton, Abbie Cornish, Jackie Earle Haley, Michael K. Williams, Jennifer Ehle, Jay Baruchel, Marianne Jean-Baptiste, and Samuel L. Jackson round out this surprisingly star-studded cast. The new RoboCop looks like good fun, but I’m not so sure it will capture the same satiric essence that the original did. If the trailer is any indication, this will be your run-of-the-mill popcorn flick set in a dystopian future; been there, done that. Padilha, surprise me. It’s out February 7, 2014. Synopsis below:

In RoboCop, the year is 2028 and multinational conglomerate OmniCorp is at the center of robot technology. Overseas, their drones have been used by the military for years – and it’s meant billions for OmniCorp’s bottom line. Now OmniCorp wants to bring their controversial technology to the home front, and they see a golden opportunity to do it. When Alex Murphy (Joel Kinnaman) – a loving husband, father and good cop doing his best to stem the tide of crime and corruption in Detroit – is critically injured in the line of duty, OmniCorp sees their chance for a part-man, part-robot police officer. OmniCorp envisions a RoboCop in every city and even more billions for their shareholders, but they never counted on one thing: there is still a man inside the machine pursuing justice.

Sandra Bullock and George Clooney star in the Alfonso Cuaron-directed space pic Gravity. It’s bring described as a “heart-pounding thriller that pulls you into the infinite and unforgiving realm of deep space.” Bullock and Clooney play astronauts who get stranded beyond Earth when their spacewalk goes awry; they have limited oxygen and zero communication with our planet and therefore they must work together to survive. Following major conventions like CinemaCon and Comic Con, there is much buzz surrounding Gravity; you can experience what Con-goers saw right here. Above is the initial teaser trailer that released earlier in May; after the break you’ll discover a trio of teasers that expand on just how intimate and thrilling this movie promises to be. In particular the seemingly “one-shot” teaser titled “Detached” will have you reeling when you witness Bullock’s character losing control and aimlessly float into the dark pit that is space. Chills, I tell you! Gravity opens in 3D and IMAX October 4.
