As someone whose only firsthand experience with the Star Trek franchise comes by virtue of J.J. Abrams' two Trek films, I know I'm in over my head when the topic presents itself. When you mention Trek, you're referencing (either directly or indirectly) a rich legacy filled with peaks and valleys, genre-defining characters and moments, and an international fanbase that rivals any of pop-culture's most enduring titles. And yet here I am, with two films under my belt (both of which I enjoyed), talking about it. Obviously, I have nothing at stake with regards to Star Trek Into Darkness. Whether you like it or dislike it is of no consequence to me. My only aim today is to extend a humble word of caution to the Trek fans who have years of equity built-up in their beloved franchise: be careful not to dismiss or begrudge it solely because it's trying to appeal to the largest possible audience. Abrams' Trek films aren't above reproach, but they also aren't void of redeeming qualities. Try to at least acknowledge some of those qualities when tearing into them or risk coming off as someone whose real issue is that a bunch of people now enjoy this thing that you once considered yourself unique for liking.
All preachiness aside, this week's Top 5 includes several interviews from Star Trek Into Darkness, rumors surrounding Christopher Nolan being approached to direct James Bond 24, the first trailers for Marvel's new ABC series Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., a new trailer for ...]]></description>

It's been a while since we've heard anything on Jose Padilha's remake of RoboCop.  The film was originally scheduled to open in August, but was pushed back to next February.  The last time we saw anything from the movie was in November, but now some new set photos and video have surfaced.  These images show off the costume in greater detail, and while there's been some inevitable grumbling, I like the new look.  The original outfit is iconic, and this isn't a radical departure, but it has enough of its own flavor to pay homage while still finding away to stand apart.  As for the video, fast motorcycles are fast.

Hit the jump to check out the set photos and video.  The film stars Joel Kinnaman, Gary Oldman, Samuel L. Jackson, Michael Keaton, Abbie Cornish, Jay Baruchel and Jackie Earle Haley. RoboCop opens February 7th, 2014.

Yes, gallery shows are still coming fast and furious in 2013, and this week brings us another new one:  Bottleneck Gallery’s Gizmos and Gadgets opens this Friday, and—from the looks of the preview images sent over by our buddy Joe at the Gallery’s NYC location—it looks to be just as impressive as the work we saw from that Gallery throughout 2012.  Wanna see some amazing new artwork from Godmachine, Cuyler Smith, and Dave Perillo?  Find out when you can plan on getting a crack at purchasing some of this stuff online?  Meet me after the jump, folks.

For the past few weeks, your humble Limited Paper scribe has been knee-deep in a few non-Limited-Paper-related projects, both of which have been keeping me a little more occupied than usual.  So, before we get into today’s amazing preview of Bottleneck Gallery’s forthcoming Gizmos and Gadgets show, I just wanted to offer up a brief mea culpa:  planning a wedding and interviewing for a dream job have been keeping me pretty busy as of late, but we’re doing our best to balance everything out.

This week at Limited Paper, we’re going to have (fingers crossed) the third of our “Welcome to 2013” giveaways to announce, and next week we’re going to be offering up some exclusive photos and video from Mondo’s In Progress show at the Mondo Gallery.  All of this, of course, is in addition to our normal drop-to-drop coverage, so hopefully that’ll keep all of you steeped in the kind of reading material ...]]></description>

The indie drama The Girl features Australian actress Abbie Cornish in a tragic, heartfelt and ultimately hopeful performance as Ashley Colton, a single mother in Texas who is struggling with the loss of her son to Social Services.  When her path collides with a young girl from Mexico, she finds herself in the middle of a life-changing journey that forces her to confront and deal with the cycle of her past.

During this recent exclusive phone interview with Collider, Abbie Cornish talked about how she came to be a part of this film, how easy she found this character to relate to, learning to speak with a Texas accent and in fluent Spanish (for which she had three months of lessons), how quickly she bonded with the young actress who plays Rosa (Maritza Santiago Hernandez), how intense the entire experience was, and the way she thinks things might have turned out for her character.  She also talked about how fun the experience of making the RoboCop remake was, told a funny story about co-star Gary Oldman in the airport, what it was like to work with paparazzi trying to get photos, how she hopes to shoot Fellini Black and White (about Federico Fellini) next, and what her dream role would be.  Check out what she had to say after the jump.

How did this role come about for you?

Fans of RoboCop are interested to see how director Jose Padilha's remake is going to differ from the 1987 original. It seems a new featurette has been released that goes a long way in answering that question. Featuring concept art for multiple generations of RoboCop's suit, a re-imagined ED-209, unmmanned drones and futuristic weaponry, the video also includes commentary from star Joel Kinnaman and director Padilha, along with producer Eric Newman, VFX Supervisor Jamie Price and Production Designer Martin Whist.

RoboCop, also starring Samuel L. Jackson, Michael Keaton, Gary Oldman, Abbie Cornish, Jay Baruchel and Jackie Earle Haley, opens in theaters February 7th, 2014. Hit the jump to check it out, along with some new images of both concept art and a new suit.

Check out the featurette below (via CBM) followed by some new images of concept art and from the RoboCop set (via Omelete). If the commentary and concept art are to be believed, the image of the new suit may not be RoboCop's at all, but one of the mass-produced models from OmniCorp. Here are some highlights from the featurette:

	Padilha implicitly contrasts the motivation for Kinnaman's Alex Murphy to become RoboCop to that of Iron Man's Tony Stark.
	RoboCop will explore this technology in a global setting on both military and law enforcement levels.
	Since OmniCorp is a business, RoboCop will show the R&#38;D process of the RoboCop models, with the first version being similar to the original suit and the newer version being the sleek black one seen in recent images.
	RoboCop is also meant to be a product, one that can be ...]]></description>

New images from the set of director Jose Padilha's RoboCop remake show off more looks at the film's futuristic vehicles. We've seen glimpses of the cop car and taxi before, and the motorcycle popped up recently, but now we have much more extensive looks at all of them. With all these vehicles to wash and wax, it's no wonder the film was recently bumped to 2014.  As a bonus, we finally know the answer to why Alex Murphy (Joel Kinnaman) retains one human hand as the cyborg-cop: bunny fingers.

RoboCop stars Joel Kinnaman, Gary Oldman, Samuel L. Jackson, Michael Keaton, Abbie Cornish, Jay Baruchel and Jackie Earle Haley. RoboCop opens February 7th, 2014.  Hit the jump to see the images.


Here's a video we were sent from a Toronto reader named Mike:

Here’s the official synopsis for RoboCop:
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.

Let's all do the release date shuffle, courtesy of Sony!

	RoboCop, the Jose Padilha-directed remake starring Joel Kinnaman, has been bumped from its August 9th, 2013 spot to February 7th, 2014.
	Taking over the former RoboCop spot will be Neill Blomkamp's Elysium, starring Matt Damon.  The picture moves from March 1st, 2013 to August 9th, 2013. (Fun fact: Blomkamp's District 9 was released that same week in 2009.)
	Cloudy 2: Revenge of the Leftovers will move up from its previous spot of February 7th, 2014 to September 27th, 2013.  The animated feature will land on roughly the same weekend as this year's hit, Hotel Transylvania.
	Pixels, the Happy Madison production based on an 8-bit French short, is listed as "in development" and won't make a 2014 release, though it was previously pegged for May 17, 2013.

Hit the jump for more on each of these pictures.

New photos have leaked from the set of Jose Padilha's RoboCop remake, and they show that the cyborg police officer has a new set of wheels.  The motorcycle in the images looks nifty and futuristic.  It's also nice when heroes can get their vehicles to resemble their outfit.  Imagine a future where everyone's car was a reflection of their daily attire.  In the comments section, please tell me the automobile-equivalent of a t-shirt and jeans.

Hit the jump to check out the set photos.  The film stars Joel Kinnaman, Gary Oldman, Samuel L. Jackson, Michael Keaton, Abbie Cornish, Jay Baruchel, and Jackie Earle Haley.   RoboCop opens August 9, 2013.

We've only been able to get glimpses of director Jose Padilha's RoboCop reboot via a bunch of set photos and today's no different.  What is different is that this batch of photos show off Michael Keaton as the OmniCorp CEO Raymond Sellars, Michael Kenneth Williams as Alex Murphy's (Joel Kinnaman) partner Officer Jack Lewis and Abbie Cornish as Murphy's wife, Ellen. Oh and some more shots of Kinnaman in his cyborg attire. The picture also seem to confirm that Kinnaman's Murphy will retain a human right hand: a corporate attempt to show the supercop's human side or an Achilles' heel of sorts?

RoboCop opens August 9th 2013 and also stars Gary Oldman, Jay Baruchel and Jackie Earle Haley.  Hit the jump to see the new set photos.

We previously brought you the first looks at Joel Kinnaman (The Killing) in a new version of his RoboCop suit, but now we have a few more looks at Kinnaman as the 100% human Alex Murphy.  Speaking of superhumans, director Jeff Wadlow recently tweeted a number of photos of the Kick-Ass 2 cast in costume.  Though none are as awesome as the first look at Jim Carrey as Colonel Stars, these set photos do have that "official" ring to them.

Director Jose Padilha's RoboCop also stars Abbie Cornish, Gary Oldman, Samuel L. Jackson, Michael Keaton and Jackie Earle Haley and opens August 9th, 2013.  Kick-Ass 2, starring Aaron Johnson, Chloe Grace Moretz and Christopher Mintz-Plasse, opens June 28th of next year.  Hit the jump to see the new images. 

The RoboCop photos come courtesy of CBM while the Kick-Ass 2 images are from Wadlow's Twitter account.  Enjoy!

Last night, I managed to squeeze in a double feature of Dredd 3D and The Master. While I wasn't thrilled with the prospect of not having a 2D showing available to choose from, I have to admit that director Pete Travis' film provided me with my first 3D screening since 2010's Piranha 3D that actually felt worth the extra dimension and additional ticket price. As for The Master, it's probably unfair to judge something so heavy after a single viewing. That said, my initial reaction is that I can't remember watching a film where its individual parts so far exceed the sum the first time around. From top to bottom the pic's technicality is superb. And yet, I don't see myself in any hurry to revisit Paul Thomas Anderson's latest world.
Moving forward to the reason we're all here, in this week's episode of the Top 5, The Hobbit celebrates Tolkien Week in a big way with a new trailer and images, we get our first looks at a new suit from director Jose Padilha's Robocop reboot, Steve sits down to talk End of Watch with Jake Gyllenhaal, Anna Kendrick, and more, Kick-Ass 2 set images continue to roll out while Aaron Johnson talks about the film at TIFF, and Fantastic Fest 2012 kicks off. Continue reading for a brief recap and link to each.

The internets were thrown for a loop this past weekend when the first set images of Joel Kinnaman in full costume for director Jose Padilha’s upcoming Robocop remake landed online on the very first day of production.  The suit design is quite different from the one seen in Paul Verhoeven’s original, and fans felt pretty strongly about the redesign.  Now even more images from the Toronto set have surfaced, giving us a closer look at Kinnaman’s headpiece (he’s wearing a robe to hide the rest of the suit) as well as co-star Abbie Cornish and some of the film’s futuristic modes of transportation.  I’m with Matt in that I’m reserving an opinion until some official images hit the web since there may be multiple suits in the film and it’s a tad unfair to judge the costume out of context.

Hit the jump to check out the images, and be sure to check out the teaser banner that landed online earlier today.  The film also stars Gary Oldman, Samuel L. Jackson, Michael Keaton, Jay Baruchel, and Jackie Earle Haley.  RoboCop opens on August 9th, 2013.

Here’s the official synopsis for RoboCop:
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 ...]]></description>

Back in June, we saw a teaser banner for Jose Padilha's upcoming RoboCop remake at a 2012 License Expo.  Today, a high-quality version of the licensing banner has gone online.  I think the image is a close-up of the suit, but I have no idea where on the suit the logo is meant to be.  If I had to guess, I'd say top of the thigh, maybe?  Possibly?  It would be better if the teaser poster gave a better sense of the suit's contours, although maybe keeping the suit under wraps might be a good idea considering the negative reaction to the leaked set photos.  Personally, I don't have an opinion on set photo of the suit since A) it may only be one of multiple suits Murphy wears in the movie, B) it's out of context, and C) it may be altered in post-production.

Hit the jump to check out the licensing banner.  The film stars Joel Kinnaman, Gary Oldman, Samuel L. Jackson, Michael Keaton, Abbie Cornish, Jay Baruchel, and Jackie Earle Haley.  RoboCop opens August 9, 2013.

Well, that didn't take long. Filming on director Jose Padilha's Robocop reboot began in Toronto today and already the first images of Joel Kinnaman as the part man/part machine in his new coat of armor have surfaced online. As a diehard fan of Paul Verhoeven's original, it's likely that no design for RoboCop's new suit would have been able to escape my scorn. In an attempt to remain as civil as possible, though, I'll say the sleek, trimmed down design looks to give Murphy a more lightweight approach than the original. In terms of contemporary design comparisons, I'm thinking Dredd 3D meets Pacific Rim. Check out both images of Kinnaman and his new suit after the jump.
Currently slated to hit theaters on August 9th, 2013, Padilha's Robocop reboot also stars Gary Oldman, Samuel L. Jackson, Michael Keaton, Abbie Cornish, Jay Baruchel, and Jackie Earle Haley. [Update: Click here to check out the new hi-res teaser banner for the film]

I have a confession to make: I've dropped too much cash on sweet, sweet movie poster prints and frames the last month or so. In addition to my Mondo/Jock The Dark Knight Rises print (which was secured for me by my friend and fellow Collider teammate, Bill Graham), I've also picked up Mondo/Phantom City Creative's The Cabin in the Woods and this little Drive gem by artist Louis Fernando Cruz all in a matter of a few weeks. While I couldn't be any happier with my purchases (well, I could have stood to pay a little less for The Cabin in the Woods), the truth remains that I'm quickly running out of wall space and disposable income. With all of this in mind, I do have to give a big "thank you" to my wife for tolerating my plans to adorn our house with movie posters. I've promised her that my buying flurry will now subside. Unless, of course, someone out there has a Gallery 1988/Rhys Cooper Robocop print they want to part with on the cheap, in which case, I think I have just enough wall space and unaccounted for monies to make one last purchase.
Poster hunting aside, in this week's edition of the Top 5, I've compiled for your reading pleasure our Lawless interviews with Shia LaBeouf, screenwriter/composer Nick Cave, and more, a week filled with rumors surrounding Warner Bros.' Justice League pic, For a Good Time, Call... video interviews with Ari Graynor, Lauren Miller, and more, a well ...]]></description>

While things haven't exactly been going smoothly for director Jose Padilha's RoboCop reboot lately, the acquisition of Michael Keaton (Batman) as the villain will surely go a long way to remedy that.  Hugh Laurie (House, M.D.) was previously attached to play the antagonist but talks recently broke down.  Keaton would be playing Raymond Sellars, the CEO of Omnicorp, the corporation that builds RoboCop.  The reboot of Paul Verhoeven's 1987 cult classic stars Joel Kinnaman in the title role.  Hit the jump for more on the remake and to read what Padilha had to say about Keaton coming on board. 

Deadline reports that Keaton will star in RoboCop as the villain, a role that was previously thought to go to Clive Owen after Laurie had passed.  Here's what the director had to say about the veteran actor joining his production:
“Michael is the final addition to the amazing cast we have assembled for this film and it is so great to have the last puzzle piece in place. It is thrilling that everything has come together to bring this innovative new vision of RoboCop to life. We’ve got a great script, a great cast, some killer ED-209’s and I can’t wait to get Alex Murphy back on the streets."
Some of that cast Padilha mentioned includes Samuel L. Jackson, Gary Oldman and Abbie Cornish.  The picture is set to start production next month with a release date scheduled for August 9th, 2013.  Be sure to keep up with our continuing coverage of the RoboCop remake as production moves along.

Though production has yet to beging, things aren’t exactly looking up for MGM’s RoboCop remake.  Earlier this month, HitFix’s Drew McWheeny got his hands on a copy of the script and gave it a rather scathing review, and just last week we learned that talks with Hugh Laurie to play the film’s villain broke down.  Now word comes that director Jose Padilha isn’t exactly having an easy time getting his vision across.  He’s apparently having to fight for every idea he has, and most of what he wants is being turned down by the studio.  Hit the jump for more.

The quotes actually come not from Padilha, but from his good friend Fernando Meirelles (City of God).  Here’s what he had to say to Cinemacom Rapadura (via ScreenCrush):
"I talked to José Padilha for a week by phone. He will begin filming Robocop. He is saying that it is the worst experience. For every 10 ideas he has, 9 are cut. Whatever he wants, he has to fight… 'This is hell here,' he told me. 'The film will be good, but I never suffered so much and do not want to do it again.' He is bitter, but it’s a fighter."
The wording’s a little rough because it’s been through Google Translator, but the gist is there.  This is Padilha’s first major feature film (he previously directed Elite Squad), so it’s not exactly surprising that MGM is keeping a close watch on the property.  That said, it sounds like the studio is really ...]]></description>

The script for the RoboCop remake may have gotten panned, but the movie still has an incredibly strong cast: Joel Kinnaman, Samuel L. Jackson, Gary Oldman, Jay Baruchel, Abbie Cornish, Michael K. Williams, and Jackie Earle Haley.  We previously reported that Hugh Laurie was in negotiations to play the film's villain, but now Variety's Jeff Sneider is tweeting that Laurie won't be squaring off against the cyborg police officer.  According to Sneider, Laurie was never really "in" since he was still in negotiations for the part, and those talks have now fallen apart.  It's a bit of a bummer since I'd like to see more Laurie especially now that House, M.D. is over, but hopefully he'll land another big role soon.

RoboCop is set to open on August 9, 2013. [Update: Deadline reports that MGM is now looking at a small group of actors to fill the villain role, and one of them includes Clive Owen.] ]]></description>

I tend to stay away from script reviews.  Scripts go through multiple revisions, the movie can then undergo changes while filming, and then it can be further revised in the editing room.  The script is rarely a bible where every sentence and plot beat has to be followed to the letter.  That being said, I trust the word of HitFix's Drew McWeeny.  He's covered this business for well over a decade, and he's also worked as a screenwriter.  So when he went on Twitter yesterday and took apart the script for the RoboCop remake, it's worth our attention.  To put it as lightly as humanly possible, Mr. McWeeny did not care for the screenplay.

Hit the jump for what he had to tweet about the script.  The film, directed by Jose Padilha (The Elite Squad) stars Joel Kinnaman, Hugh Laurie, Samuel L. Jackson, Gary Oldman, Jay Baruchel, Abbie Cornish, Michael K. Williams, and Jackie Earle Haley.  RoboCop opens August 9, 2013.

Here are McWeeny's tweets about the script for the Robocop remake:
I tried to read the “Robocop” remake, but 20 pages in my nose started bleeding and I forgot my name. #nobueno #reallynobueno

I’ll share this one detail. In the film, when Murphy is turned into Robocop 1.0, it’s described “a high-tech version of the ’80s suit.” Then they show a focus group scene where criminals laugh at the design. “He looks like a toy from the ’80s!” So they redesign him to look “meaner” as Robocop 2.0, who passes focus group approval. ...]]></description>
