"RoboCop Returns" directed by Neill Blomkamp

Now this might be a good fit especially since it's a continuation of the original flick!

Hopefully Weller returns.

Maybe since it’s ignoring the reboot

And with Blomkamp directing there's no chance it will have anything other than a hard R-rating.

Can't remember anything about the first one, so I guess it's only mandatory that we need another.

Neil Blomkamp's check list...


Aliens - nope
Terminator - nope
Mad Max - nope
Ghostbusters - nope
Pee Wee's Big Adventure 2 - nope

Robocop -

Third Joker movie - (TBD)

I don't mind it, to be honest. Robocop 3 sucked, and part 2 wasn't all that great either, so another Robocop film with the original actor can't be that bad. As long as they don't change the suit....at least not until the end of the film, anyways.

Because the first reboot did so well? The problem with these reboots is that they modernize classic 80s films and don't realize that that is part of what makes them so amazing.

This won't be a reboot.

"Ed Neumeier and Michael Miner are producing and exec producing, respectively. Justin Rhodes, who co-wrote the Terminator film that Tim Miller is shooting, will rewrite the script that Neumeier and Miner wrote years ago as a planned sequel to Verhoeven’s hit."

"Verhoeven felt at the time that making one would be de classe and he wasn’t interested in the politics of a sequel."


Do they even read this crap before posting? Am I supposed to get excited for an 80's script that Verhoeven didn't want to film? And that script now gets rewritten by a no-one who probably was brought in to make it more "modern" and SJW? Are they for real with these news?!

Doubt it happens. Blomkamp gets rejected more than a fat kid at Homecoming.

The new Robocop will have a v****a and will fight against guns. The villain will look like Trump and he's working for a Russian bad guy, played by Mickey Rourke.




...and strike 3.

Robocop! Who is he? What is he? Where has he been?

I'm amazed they never made a sequel to that 1987 classic!

The sequels were "meh," and the remake was an unflushable turd...with a human hand. Why do we need yet another sequel? If Follywood spent as much time developing an original script/property as they do bouncing around these old properties to new development teams every 6 months or so, maaaaaaaybe they could come up with something new and inspired vs. dip into a dry well and then whine when the bucket comes up empty?

I think they’re too scared to make something entirely new and different

Can't imagine what the exec meetings are like:

"Our earnings last year show that these remakes just aren't financially viable. We need to find another property to reboot!"

This suits Blomkamp's sensibilities to a T.

But I'm so sick of Sharlto Copley... and not seeing him as Robocop.






BTW: SHUT THE HELL UP! The Nam is back!??? Is that the actual Nam, not a fraud?
