  • Interview: 'RoboCop' Director José Padilha Fights For Smarter Stories In Hollywood

    When I sat down with director Jose Padilha at Comic Con to talk about his upcoming Robocop reboot, I expected to have a very superficial conversation about his first Hollywood blockbuster.

    Most of the Robocop marketing so far has focused on, well, Robocop (Joel Kinnaman). But before he was Robocop, he was a plain old human known as Alex Murphy -- and as the latest international trailer reminds us, Alex is lurking inside of him still.

    There was no small amount of derision fired towards the RoboCop remake directed by Jose Padilha for the suit design sported by the main character, played by Joel Kinnaman.
