RoboCop (2014)

	In 2028 Detroit, when Alex Murphy (Joel Kinnaman) - a loving husband, father and good cop - is critically injured in the line of duty, the multinational conglomerate OmniCorp sees their chance for a part-man, part-robot police officer. Director: José Padilha Stars: Joel Kinnaman, Gary Oldman, Michael Keaton, Abbie Cornish

The Buzz: For his English-language debut, Elite Squad (2007) director Jose Padilha has the dubious honor of handling this long-in-development remake that had trouble holding onto its stars before filming began. Even with this enviable cast, in the post-Total Recall (2012), post-Dredd (2012) era, the studio and most everyone involved with this project must be a bit nervous. Trying to reboot a classic sci-fi film is as difficult as it is to launch the next Twilight.
