RoboCop
District 9filmmaker Neill Blomkamp is move to try his hand at a franchise picture show for the first sentence withRoboCop Returns , a project free-base on an unusedRoboCop1987 subsequence script by writers Michael Miner and Ed Neumeier . Blomkamp ’s films have long combined gory violence and societal satire with sci - fi concepts in the same way that Paul Verhoeven did with the originalRoboCop , so it ’s only meet that Blomkamp is now getting his injection at making a properRoboCopfilm . The music director even acknowledged the significant influence that Verhoeven ’s film has had on his own vocation , in the prescribed argument confirming his involvement .
Some may recall thatBlomkamp previously make out close to making anAlienfilm continuation , before the moving picture was offset . That project , which set about as conception artistry that Blomkamp made for ( mostly ) his own entertainment , would have resembledRoboCop getting even , in the sense that it was envisioned as being a unmediated follow-up toAliensthat ( essentially ) ignored everything else that has come in the franchise since then . By the audio of it , this new film will allow Blomkamp to do something interchangeable with theRoboCopproperty , seeing as it ’s not connected to the 2014 reboot starring Joel Kinnaman .

antecedently described as being a"continuation"of Verhoeven’sRoboCop , RoboCop Returnssees the eponymic cyborg police policeman ( what else ? ) devolve to action to scavenge up the violent streets of his old turf in Detroit . Deadlinereports that the earlier handwriting draft by Miner and Neumeier is being rewritten by Justin Rhodes ( who also write the currently filmingTerminator 6 ) , with Blomkamp sign on to direct . MGM is backing the undertaking , but it does n’t voice like the studio has a output timeline and/or release quarry in mind yet .
Blomkamp spoke toDeadlineabout Verhoeven’sRoboCop , note that " As I ’ve sustain old , the part that really resonate with me is identity operator , and the hunting for individuality . “José Padilha’sRoboCopreboot even goes so far as to focus on the exploration of identity over political comment , arguably to the film ’s detriment . Blomkamp , on the other handwriting , has never been one to subtly interweave social critiques into his sci - fi offering ( see alsoElysium , Chappie ) and one suspectsRoboCop Returns , for that very reason , will hew nigher to the 1987 film in terms of not only satire , but also when it comes to R - rated violence involving half - car men ( something else Padilha ’s reboot was missing ) .
All in all , it will be interesting to see what Blomkamp construct of theRoboCopfranchise , especially now that he ’s spend some fourth dimension away from the studio apartment system working onhis Oats Studios projection . Hopefully , he will come back refreshed and deliver a continuation of the series that can go toe to toe with the original film ’s modern descendants ( with last month’sUpgradebeing the most late example ) .
