RoboCop releases new character images

RoboCop has released a batch of new character images online, ahead of an official trailer launch later this week.

The new images show off a clutch of key players, including Joel Kinnaman's titular hero, Samuel L. Jackson's flamboyant TV host, and Gary Oldman's put-upon scientist, Dr. Dennett Norton.

There's also a first glimpse at Jennifer Ehle and Jackie Earle Haley as Liz Kline and Maddox respectively, while the Oldman image counts down just three days until the trailer's arrival.

The remake will retell the story of hero cop Alex Murphy, who finds himself transformed into RoboCop after being critically wounded in the line of duty. But just how ethical is the tech programme being pioneered by creators, OmniCorp…?

Directed by José Padilha and co-starring Jay Baruchel, Michael Keaton and Abbie Cornish, RoboCop will open in the UK on 7 February 2014.
