I had the opportunity to talk to the talented people behind the anticipated remake “RoboCop” (in theaters now!): Joel Kinnaman, Abbie Cornish, Jackie Earle Haley, Jennifer Ehle, Jay Baruchel, and writer Joshua Zetumer. Latinos had a strong presence in this project and on the red carpet. Actress Aimee Garcia and composer Pedro Bromfman spoke with Desde Hollywood in Spanish.

“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 – and it’s meant billions for OmniCorp’s bottom line. Now OmniCorp wants to bring their controversial technology to the home front, and they see a golden opportunity to do it. When Alex Murphy (Joel Kinnaman) – a loving husband, father and good cop doing his best to stem the tide of crime and corruption in Detroit – is critically injured in the line of duty, OmniCorp sees their chance for 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 pursuing justice.”
