'RoboCop' Gets New Futuristic Motorbike, Film Is Delayed Until 2014

Alex Murphy a.k.a RoboCop will have a new ride in the upcoming remake movie. Some new on-set photos from Jose Padilha's "RoboCop" reboot have made their rounds online, giving a clear look at Joel Kinnaman's titular cyborg as he rides a big motorcycle that matches the suit that he wears.

Kinnaman is seen filming a scene on the streets of Torono, Canada, donning the all-black RoboCop armor which has already been unveiled in previous set pictures. His futuristic motorbike is also dominated with black color and the elegant design is fitted with Kinnaman's new costume.

It has been said that the "RoboCop" remake will feature four different versions of the titular character. The idea, however, was slammed by HitFix's critic Drew McWeeny who complained that Padilha's version of the iconic cyborg was more like a Transformer. "Oh, god... oh dear god... Robocop is a Transformer. He goes from 'social mode' to 'combat mode' and back. Full transformation," he said back in August.

While "RoboCop" is still in production, Sony Pictures decides to delay the release of the movie until 2014. The film was previously scheduled to open Stateside on August 9, 2013, but now it is set for a February 7, 2014 release nationwide. The new date will pit the remake film against DreamWorks' "Need for Speed". Meanwhile, the original date is now placed by Matt Damon's "Elysium", which was initially dated for March 1 release next year.

Also starring Gary Oldman, Samuel L. Jackson, Abbie Cornish, Michael Keaton, Jay Baruchel and Jackie Earle Haley, "RoboCop" follows Alex Murphy who is brought back from the brink of death in the form of a cyborg with no memories of his prior life.

First Look at Michael Keaton as Evil OmniCorp CEO on 'RoboCop' Set

How Michael Keaton will look like as the lead villain in Jose Padilha's "RoboCop" remake has been uncovered in a latest on-set photo of the reboot film. Taken during a recent filming session at the University of Toronto, the picture sees Keaton being escorted by two ladies and cops when arriving on the set which was transformed into OmniCorp building.

Keaton stars as Raymond Sellars, the evil CEO of OmniCorp. The company itself is the one which creates RoboCop for its own gain. In some other on-set photos, Joel Kinnaman is seen clad in his full cyborg armor while standing behind a glass wall in what seems to be the OmniCorp building.

There are additionally new images that give first look at Abbie Cornish as Ryan Murphy's wife Ellen and Michael Kenneth Williams as his trusted partner Lewis. They are all seen shooting a scene in the same building with Kinnaman.

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.

The sci-fi film based on Paul Varhoeven's 1987 movie is slated for an August 9, 2013 release in the United States. Also supporting the film are Gary Oldman, Samuel L. Jackson, Marianne Jean-Baptiste, Jay Baruchel, Jackie Earle Haley, Douglas Urbanski and Aimee Garcia.
