First Look: 2014 'RoboCop' Reboot Has Its First Trailer

The first trailer for 2014's reboot of Robocop has arrived, and the new film promises a similar premise as director Paul Verhoeven’s 1987 sci-fi classic, but with lots of changes.

When police officer Alex Murphy (Joel Kinnaman in the reboot, Peter Weller in the original) is injured critically while in the line of duty, the corporation seizes the opportunity to creat a half-man/half-machine police officer. Of course, what the company doesn't know is that they're not totally in control of Murphy. Michael Keaton, Abbie Cornish, Jackie Earle Haley, Jennifer Ehle, Michael K. Williams, Marianne Jean-Baptiste,Jay Baruchel and, of course, Samuel L. Jackson also star. RoboCop opens in theaters February 7, 2014. Check out the trailer below...
