First Look at a Suit from the 'RoboCop' Reboot

With production underway in Toronto on Joe Padhila's RoboCop, ComingSoon nabbed a few photos of Joel Kinnaman as the title character in a suit from the film. Whether it's the finalized new suit is up to debate, though it certainly has the sleek polish of one. RoboCop also stars Gary Oldman, Michael Keaton, and Samuel L. Jackson and opens August 9, 2013. Synopsis and photos after the jump.

In RoboCop, the year is 2029 and multinational conglomerate OmniCorp is at the center of robot technology. Their drones are winning American wars around the globe and now they want to bring this technology to the home front. Alex Murphy is a loving husband, father and good cop doing his best to stem the tide of crime and corruption in Detroit. After he is critically injured in the line of duty, OmniCorp utilizes their remarkable science of robotics to save Alex’s life. He returns to the streets of his beloved city with amazing new abilities, but with issues a regular man has never had to face before.

Director José Padilha (Elite Squad) reimagines the tale of part man, part machine, all cop starring Joel Kinnaman (The Killing) as the title character, Gary Oldman (The Dark Knight Rises) as the scientist who creates RoboCop, and Samuel L. Jackson (The Avengers) as media mogul Pat Novak. RoboCop is being produced by Strike Entertainment’s Marc Abraham and Eric Newman, with Eric Carraro as Executive Producer. The film is currently in pre-production and slated for a summer 2013 release.
