Robocop Corporate Wars

[Citizen Cook]

I hear that the original writers are working on a screenplay for a new Robocop movie that is a direct continuation of the original movie.

If the film comes to pass i wonder what Murphy’s place will be in in a 2023 setting. Perhaps OCP have gotten A.I working now and as the Robocop program was largely a failure Murphy could be in danger of being shelved? His organic components must be close to work out anyway…

No, I heard it was pretty bad.

Corporate Wars script was adapted to the television series pilot in 1994. Are you talking something else?

I did and its a nice take on an older Robocop for the budget.

Yeah, a few years ago Edward Neumeier and Michael Miner said that they were revisiting their original concept for their abandoned script “RoboCop Corporate Wars” (which as you rightly say had parts adapted for the tv pilot) with the hopes of making a direct sequel movie to the 1987 original. Then the pandemic happened and i haven’t heard anything since.

I honestly think it will be as bad as the new Halloween where they ignore even Halloween 2.
Robocop 2 is honestly too iconic now to be ignored.

The Neill Blomkamp movie ignored the sequels. Same with his Alien movie, it ignored ALIENS. He’s a guy who I think could have delivered. Instead we got Prometheus and the Robocop reboot unfortunately.

I don't even think Neil can even pull it off.
His style is too bright and shiny to do Alien and Robocop successfully, and filled with S. African zany german (or is it dutch) humor.

It is too bad that he failed to make District 9 a franchise, but eh...

Paul is Dutch. It was his outsiders perspective of America that made Robocop the unique satirical gem it is.

Yeah...but his humor is a bit different than Neil.
Neil is S. African dutch, while Verhoeven is a mainland dutch.

So who would be your second choice after Paul to direct a sequel?

[Black Hole]

I wont go back to watching new movies made these past...several years really until they stop using over 90% cgi.

Sorry for the long reply, but the probably the guy who directed Sicario and the new Blade Runner.
Denis Villeneuve

His film is serious, and his humor doesn't affect the tone of the film.

But probably, I'd leave to the game creators, they are 100% better than modern movie directors.

Ed Neumeier. In fact, he’s my first choice. He’s the only one who would really give us a true classic Robocop movie, IMO.

Damn, this dude wrote the ST sequels and even Traitor of Mars.
Yeah, I approve.
