Short description
In RoboCop, the year is 2028 and multinational conglomerate OmniCorp is at the center of robot technology. Overseas, their drones have been used by the military for years, but have been forbidden for law enforcement in America. Now OmniCorp wants to bring their controversial technology to the home front, and they see a golden opportunity to do it. When Alex Murphy – a loving husband, father and good cop doing his best to stem the tide of crime and corruption in Detroit – is critically injured, OmniCorp sees their chance to build a part-man, part-robot police officer. OmniCorp envisions a RoboCop in every city and even more billions for their shareholders, but they never counted on one thing: there is still a man inside the machine.
What's left behind the scenes
- When Sellars reviews the robot suit design sketch, it can be noticed that it is the suit from the movie 'RoboCop' (1987).
- Rebecca Hall turned down the role of Alex Murphy's wife. Jessica Alba, Keri Russell, and Kate Mara auditioned, but Abby Cornish got the part.
- Sean Penn turned down the role of media mogul Pat Novak, which eventually went to Samuel L. Jackson.
- Joshua Zitoomer wrote the film's screenplay based on an unfinished draft by Edward Neumeier and Michael Miner, which was written in 1985 at the insistence of director Paul Verhoeven, but subsequently rejected by him.
- Michael Fassbender, Matthias Schoenaerts, and Russell Crowe were considered for the lead role.

- Hugh Laurie negotiated for the role of Raymond Sellars, but the negotiations fell through. Clive Owen was seriously considered as Laurie's replacement, but Michael Keaton was ultimately chosen.
- Production designer Martin Whist was responsible for the film's futuristic design. When working on RoboCop's motorcycle, Whist based it on a Kawasaki Z1000, then made radical changes to the model.
- During the car explosion in front of the protagonist's house, no glass broke from the blast wave, but he sustained serious injuries.
- Edward Norton turned down the role of Dr. Norton. The part was played by Gary Oldman.
- To promote the film, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios Inc. and Sony Pictures created a pseudo-official website for the non-existent OmniCorp in 2012. The site featured an OmniCorp promotional video, recordings of fictional news reports about unrest in American cities, a description of two of its products (an unmanned aircraft and the ED-209 robot), and an announcement of the RC-2000 cyborg. A pseudo-official Facebook profile was also created, featuring the same video and other photographs of the ED-209 robot (including its older model with its creator) and the RC-2000.
- Darren Aronofsky was initially credited as the film's director, but was later replaced by Brazilian director José Padilha.
