The Killing star Joel Kinnaman recently sat down for a chat with the folks at Metro. The actor portrays slain cop Alex Murphy, the man who eventually becomes the future of law enforcement. He believes that fans will very pleased with new version of the 80s classic.

“It was a great experience. Half of my scenes were with Gary Oldman, which was a dream come true. The director didn’t want to make a superhero movie — we made an action tragedy. It’s going to be a sad and exciting story with quite a bit of drama,” Kinnaman explained.

MGM was all set to release director Jose Padilha’s remake into theaters this year. However, many believe that fan backlash prompted the studio to push the release date to February 7, 2014. As any movie nerd will tell you, studios tend to dump problematic movie into the early part of the year.
