In the upcoming sci-fi reboot RoboCop, a Detroit officer (Joel Kinnaman) is transformed into a high-tech, crime-fighting cyborg to clean up the mean streets of his crime afflicted city. While we may be years away from seeing man/machine hybrids patrolling our own local neighborhood, star Joel Kinnaman reveals in a new featurette that a lot of the technology shown in the film is close to already happening in real life. We also hear from Jackie Earle Haley, who discusses the drones used in the film, which are comparable to the drones our own army is now using. We also hear from director José Padilha and several futurists and professors talking about real-life technological breakthroughs which are similar to what is shown in this upcoming reboot, in theaters February 12.
