A Grim Reminder That Robocop Is Getting Needlessly Remade
Gizmodo found this teaser poster for the MGM-announced flick. No other details have been announced. Giz wonders if the red Robocop eyes means there could be an evil Robocop planned (what the hell would that be? Robothief? Robofelon?) for the flick, but I think the moviemakers are just trading in on all the BSG/Cylon goodwiil. Frankly, I think this is more of a taunting poster than a teaser poster.
