[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”14080″ img_size=”990×600″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]While not everyone was a fan of 2014’s RoboCop, fans are still wanting to relive the franchise they enjoyed so much from the 1980s. And it seems like they’re getting one, with RoboCop Returns, which will be directed by Neill Blomkamp and be based on a script written by original RoboCop writers Ed Neumeier and Michael Miner. We now have new details on this latest adaptation, as Neumeier comments:
“We talked about it a couple of years back and I reminded [MGM] that we had written a very rough sequel back in 1988 which then was stopped by the writer’s strike, the same year,” Neumeier shared with HN Entertainment. “And they looked at it and they said ‘Oh, good!’, so we did some more work on that and then Neill Blomkamp found out about it and he said, ‘I have always wanted to do this, this is my dream project’ and MGM was very very pleased to get into business with him.”
He then continued:
“Neill Blomkamp and his screenwriter Justin Rhodes have done a pass on the script we were writing on and they’re doing another one. It is a slightly different concept in some ways than we were originally doing,” the producer shared. “I don’t want to talk too much about it or somebody will call me and tell me to shut up, but we’re hopeful and I think Neill really really wants to make a good RoboCop movie. His idea is that it should be the proper Verhoeven… if Verhoeven had directed a movie right after RoboCop… I think that’s what he is trying to achieve and I hope he does. We’ll see what happens next.”
Many ask if original RoboCop star Peter Weller will return to the franchise and though Neumeier states that he can “hear Peter’s voice”, Weller had previously stated that he wasn’t interested in returning. Who will star in the movie we’re unsure, but as much as some objected, I say bring back Joel Kinnaman and let him do a proper R-rated version of the film.
