@J C The original (unused) script was for a movie called "Robocop 2: Corporate Wars". Basically, it is completely different from part 1 in that Robo gets revived many years into the future. (Verhoeven) had nothing to do with it. They are using this as the basis for the proposed sequel. Yes, Weller is too old (big) for the suit now, but they are trying to use his likeness and voice. He reprised Robo for the Kentucky Fried Chicken commercials earlier this year, in voice only. They would likely do the same for this sequel. I'm looking forward to Terminator Dark Fate.

For the perforce of the robot, I think the best part is when Mother runs to the main entrance, great movie, excellent job! 👏👏👏👏👏

I was going back and forth with my wife wether or not Mother was CGI or not because it looked so amazingly real. I was looking for a way to fit a performer inside the dimensions of the frame of the robot, but I thought it was too tight...then there was the movements! The way mother ran sold me on the idea that she was CGI...well done to the actor who brought her to life!

Hope they release screen accurate models for the cosplay community to enjoy and appreciate

This whole production really stripped things back, minimal characters and sets, one central solid plot and could then focus the budget on creating this work of art as a believable immersive character. A masterclass in how to do sci-fi.

The craftsmanship and cinematography involved in this movie were really stellar. I was so immersed in thinking that Mother was a real functioning robot that I did not even stop to think whether the character was practical or cgi. Now knowing that it was 100% practical and portrayed by an actor... blown away! So well done.

Practical effects & CGI are a match made in heaven instead of full depending on CGI Great work once again by WETA Workshop!

BEAUTIFUL work. From the technical aspects to the art.

The film grew on me watch after watch, I definitely recommend! And Weta is legendary!

What a masterwork of prop and costuming. I was also impressed that it was a WETA person doing the acting. Big cheers all around on this one. I'd love to see more up-close shots of all the parts.

Thank you so much for this incredible work of art.

All of this, for one character in a single movie. I am not disappointed, the film was truly great.

this is literally my dream job. spectacular in every aspect guys, thank you for a great movie.

thanks Weta for keeping magic alive

In my top 5 films for sure! It was incredible, and seeing this effort. Wow

You people are incredible. You're all truly gifted and special.

After seeing other movies use full CGI on similar concepts, I was amazed to see this was a suit. Luke made it look flawless, and the movement was so fluid that it looked either real, or the best CGI it could be. I highly recommend this to anyone who is thinking of watching it 😊 Subbed ❤️️

I have wanted to work at weta since 10 mins in to the fellowship of the ring at the cinema, what like 20 years ago. Between this and the Adam Savage videos Im almost ready to drop everything and try again. Masters at work, u guys are amazing and what you do and legends all round.

Endless respect for this simplification of so many anwers to the challenges, yet it's not simple tasks to do for sure.

Just watched this movie. Mother was an absolutely stellar character and practical effect, it that's the right term for it. Incredible work.

All that creative talent in one place. The energy must have been electric.

Never since ILM in the 70's working on A New Hope, have I seen this much dedication among a group of young filmmakers. Unlike VFX studios that are just body shops running on profit mode. These guys are the real deal and are gonna go very far in life.

Fantastic all round!

I'm guessing the running scenes wear CG? Impossible to tell but I figured it was too delicate to risk running or just impossible. Pretty scary to see this very utilitarian robot running at full speed. Perfectly executed build. Hard to imagine a human form inside it. I kinda wish the movie took more risks, but for a feature film first-timer it's not bad, and that robot design is just stunning.
