Ed Neumeir mentioned this back in January. Said he was working on a direct sequel but other than that he wouldn’t say much. I thought Verhooven would be back to direct but I guess he still has no interest in going back to the well. Blink amp is the right guy for it. Not for the violence but for the satire. District 9 and Elysian are all metaphors for other things and satirizing something to a degree. And with the two original writers on board as creative directors, it should maintain the humor level of the first.

But robocop is very 80s. It’s whole thing is making fun of the regan era so I’ll be curious to see what insights they can have about now that we haven’t already seen elsewhere and can it be as potent now as it was 30 years ago.
There's this guy named cheetos that has plenty of material to give:russ:

I just felt it was neutered really wish the director got to make it R.

I don’t even think it was neutered. It just wasn’t as smart and that hurt it for me. If you’ve got nothing to say then you really shouldn’t make a robocop flick. I know he wanted to satirize drone warfare but it barely did that.
