Unfortunately, that is about the last anyone had heard about the project. Recently however, Director Blomkamp was asked on Twitter if any progress was being made on the new film. He replied with this brief update:
Script is being written. Going well! Imagine watching Verhoeven do a follow up film https://t.co/QDp5T7cf5L

The mention of Paul Verhoeven who directed the original 1987 iconic hit might give some fans hope that when RoboCop Returns actually starts production, it might capture the camp, mixed with violence that the original film brought to the party. We will not know of course until more progress is made. At least, according to Blomkamp, the project hasn’t been mothballed so that is something.
Are you ready to see another attempt at reviving the RoboCop franchise? Perhaps the last attempt in 2014 ruined it for you? That film received criticism for its lack of violence, and the void of social satire and humor when compared to the original film. Are you hoping for better this go around?
