RoboCop: World Premiere

by Ella Jean

Last night was the world premiere of RoboCop. Where else but London could host such international stars? With a lead from Sweden, a leading lady from Australia and a director from Brazil, RoboCop may not be an as cut-and-dry action flick as one would expect. I caught up with actress Abbie Cornish, director José Padhila and guest Bill Bailey. The weather was pretty wet and windy, but if anything happened, RoboCop had our backs.

Abbie Cornish was not only gorgeous in her sequinned low-back dress, she also very thoughtfully discussed the themes of morality we’ll get from RoboCop. 

José Padhila was a happy, enthusiastic director at the premiere. But is he more excited about football?

The very funny Bill Bailey shared with me his favourite moment from the 1987 RoboCop.
