Now that MGM's Robocop remake is in full effect, with an up 'n coming tandem in director Jose Padilha(Elite Squad) and Joel Kinnaman(The Killing) to star as Lt. Alex Murphy, the dude in the cyborg suit, it's time to start talking release dates. The studio has settled on August 9th, 2013 as the day when Robocop will exact his own brand of justice.
That would appear to be the perfect date, right in the heart of summer and immediately making it the blockbuster event of the month. Right now it has no competition that weekend, but it come a week after the Red sequel and more from those surprisingly resilient Smurfs.
