Robocop (Neil Blomkamp To Direct)

[Ironman]

But see that’s what I mean breh lol. Isn’t that low hanging fruit at this point?

Well he did say he wants to emphasize humanity so maybe with everything involving police brutality he'll go that direction

See that would be interesting. Robocop as a figure of intimidation and what he means to a scared group of minorities. But that shyt ain’t funny lol

You can still have light hearted moments but yea he'd definitely need to take that topic seriously and delicately.

Have Murphy's humanity for people override new directives made by OCP.

Yup. But then the question is, are people ready to find it silly how people are getting blown away by cops?

I'm going to need that OG theme back too

Blomkamp hasn't delivered anything worthwhile since District 9 and that one is overrated too, but if people want to keep faith in him, be my guest.

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.

HAving nothing to say and wasting a pretty damn great cast were the major problems with the reboot.
And also the fact that Robocop's right hand was flesh and blood.
I spent the entire movie staring at that fukking white hand sticking out of the robot body and it annoyed the hell out of me.
If all that is left of this poor motherfukker you are about to turn into a cyborg is a head and a right hand maybe just chuck the hand in the garbage.

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. Blomkamp is the right guy for it. Not for the violence but for the satire. District 9 and Elysium 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.

I highly doubt Verhoeven was even considered, let alone asked.

Neil is hungry he cant fail

 

[T’Challa’s Heir]

Is there anything really left to say in the Robocop universe?

 

[QuintessentialMan]

Wait what? Sequel for the OG or the remake? I swear if this one is set in South Africa with dusty streets and an out of control population problem like all of his other movies...who am I kidding I'd still watch it but I'd prefer a sequel to District 9 damnit. Wikus still a damn prawn and Chris promised he'd come back for him.

It was ducktales fam.
Ole boy just wanted to go home, he was saying anything to that man

He aint never coming back....... The End. There's your sequel.

Not a reboot,it’s a direct sequel to the originals.

Oh shyt this sounds dope possibly although that was done also with a mini series lol. This seems to be a new trend that started on tv shows and now is starting to be in movies also.

 

[hayesc0]

Can we get a robocop vs terminator again since terminator is getting a direct sequel?

 

[2 Up 2 Down]

Reboot was good, imo, and they could build from it in the sequel with a good script and director.

Having this be a sequel to the first I think they are setting the expectations from the audience too high. People are going to want direct parallels of the violence level and the satire of the first film. I hope they don't fall into making this a homage like how JJ did with the Force Awakens.
The comics(and even the reboot) show that there is more to explore in Robocop
