The RoboCop reboot will allow you to gaze into RoboCop's eyes
While Paul Verhoeven’s RoboCop excelled at a lot of things—sociopolitical satire, dystopic visions of the future, examples of how to talk to bitches—it was sorely lacking in at least one crucial area: the opportunity to gaze deep into RoboCop’s eyes, except for the approximately 60 percent of the movie where Peter Weller went without his mask. But we no longer live in the coldly dispassionate ’80s; it’s a new era of openness and eyeball accessibility, and Jose Padhila’s forthcoming RoboCop reboot will reflect that by finally allowing you to see RoboCop’s eyes, which the traditional proverb says are the windows to the robot-cop soul. Newly minted RoboCop star Joel Kinnaman made the revelation during a recent MTV interview, saying of the revamped character design, “They’re still working on the suit and how it’s going to look, but the visor is going to be see-through. You’re going to see his eyes.” This, Kinnaman says, means, “It’s not going to be jaw action… RoboCop is going to be a lot more human,” as being a mechanically reanimated corpse should not preclude one’s humanity, nor limit them solely to the emotions of the jaw.
