As San Diego’s Comic-Con draws closer, Columbia Pictures and MGM have readied a first look at the robotic ED-209 design from their upcoming reboot of RoboCop. Over at OmniCorp, the web site won’t allow visitors to access its products or projects tabs, but you can watch a promotional video and get an image of the new ED-209. There’s also the company’s mission statement:
For a half-century, these words have set the framework upon which OmniCorp has aimed to build a brighter world.
We don’t do passive technology. At OmniCorp, our solutions generate a beacon of safety that we shine upon on the dangers of the day. No matter the obstacle – political, cultural, philosophical – we pursue our convictions around the globe to secure peace of mind at home. And when this requires bold new direction, we never allow doubt to shrink our duty. When your quality of life is in the balance, our leadership team will tip the scales.
Our products have elevated your lives. Our people have inspired your future. Our passion will always be at your side.
Directed by Jose Padilha (Elite Squad: The Enemy Within), RoboCop is nearing the start of production with a cast that includes Joel Kinnaman (TV’s The Killing), Gary Oldman, Samuel L. Jackson and Hugh Laurie. It is aiming for an August 9, 2013 release.
