RoboCop Is ‘a New Story Within the Old One,’ Joel Kinnaman Says

June 5th, 2012

When RoboCop speaks, people tend to listen. So, when The Killing star and future cyborg Joel Kinnaman talked to Collider, many tuned in to get a few more details as production ramps up to a September start date for Jose Padilha’s RoboCop.

The actor said that, at first, he didn’t quite understand why they were doing a remake, but then realized that Shakespeare has been remade for hundreds of years and came to grips with the concept. “I’m not saying that Robocop is Shakespeare, but it’s a way to … we’re retelling,” Kinnaman said. “That’s what we do as human beings. We retell our favorite stories. That’s what we’ve done since we were sitting around campfires. It’s a part of the human spirit. It doesn’t have to be negative to creativity. It can be completely opposite. That’s how you can break new ground by rethinking something that’s already been done. José has a completely different take on this than [original RoboCop director Paul] Verhoeven had, and with all respect, everybody that’s involved in this movie loved the original and we have a lot of respect for it. We’re going to have a lot of throwbacks and there’s going to be a lot of fun stuff for the fans of the first movie. It’s a new story within the old one.”

A big fan of the original film, Kinnaman said that everyone involved has been dedicated to making an all-around great film. “Everybody is trying to make something real, something with a core of substance, and of course, an exciting action movie with a lot of terrific stuff and fantastic visuals and everything, but at the core of it, it’s a movie with substance and something that is going to make people think,” the actor said.

Finally, Kinnaman praised his recently announced co-star Gary Oldman, who’ll play a scientist named Norton who creates RoboCop and eventually finds himself deciding between loyalties to Robo and his corporate masters.

“Gary Oldman disappears into his character,” Kinnaman said of the actor’s Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy role. “It’s so subtle. It’s so difficult what he does, and it’s something that I don’t think maybe two or three other actors could do on their best day in the world right now. It was a master’s performance and he’s on top of his game right now. He’s in his golden age. So, I’m very, very excited and we have great scenes that have a lot of the substance that I was talking about. It’s very much a relationship between Gary Oldman’s character and Alex Murphy.”

In Part Two of our interview with actor Joel Kinnaman, he talks more about his portrayal of Detective Stephen Holder on Season Two of AMC’s THE KILLING (Sundays at 9 PM), plus how his upcoming role as the lead in the remake of ROBOCOP will differ from the original.

 AX: Who do you think is a better cop, Holder or his partner Sarah Linden?

KINNAMAN: She has a very strong, intuitive strength and she kind of goes into the mind of the killer, and Holder comes from the street and that’s how he reasons and he can tell a liar when he sees one. So I think they compliment each other really well.

AX: Do you and Mireille Enos, who plays Linden, have conversations about how you’re going to do scenes together, or do you just hit the set and see how you work with each other as you do the work?

KINNAMAN: We’re really good friends and so if we’re in a scene that we have questions about, then we’ll talk about it, but our chemistry is so good that we always find a way to work it out. Usually, we actually work it out while we’re doing it. It’s very easy. We both find it very easy to play off each other, so it’s a very positive work relationship.

{TB EXCLUSIVE} “Robocop” Recruits Hot Hollywood Talent!
April 12, 2012

With Joel Kinnaman recently tapped to star, and a Summer 2013 release date set, ROBOCOP (REMAKE) has been generating more and more buzz with every day that passes. MGM is adding fuel to the excitement fire as it is in negotiations with several new stars to light up the cast.

Following faithfully in the vein of the original film, the pic will chronicle Alex Murphy, a top-notch officer in a future dystopian Detroit, who is brutally murdered while in the line of duty. Because of his impressive track record, he is reanimated as Robocop, a half-man half-robot hybrid designed to be a top notch answer to the crime-ridden city. Kinnaman will fill Peter Weller’s shoes as Robocop and MGM is looking to give him company.
