Weller just attended a comic on on London, signing robo merch, maybe he would want to do this.
Apparantly they may go with their original idea to the 2nd movie which was where robo was blown up and switched back on years later. Not sure if it will be 25 years but if they did this story would work for returning characters getting an appearance. |

Mostly I just want to see RoboCop as a symbol of yore, waking up in a weak, over legislatured future and him just being this relic that's looked down on... yet gets results better than even the modern day RoboCops, or whatever they have.

I get the feeling it may be something like that. So far as Lewis, as we said before, her role would likely be different and smaller. I'd appreciate an inclusion if they could fit her in and it worked, I mean people this age do act still.
I suppose I have to prepare myself for poor robo biting it in this one maybe. Still, hoping this goes ahead. Last edited by newfan; 08-14-2018 at 10:52 AM. |

Better that than if we start hearing hubbub about, "The first in a planned trilogy..."

Well he hasn't died yet but if they may do it here, more so if they use Weller? You know to kind of finish it. I don't want to hear planned trilogy either, if the movie did justify a 2nd then all the more Robocop but they really should plan one at a time, As should some others where they have had failures

Blomkamp tweeted that he is off this, said MGM needs or wants to shoot it now and he currently shooting a horror/thriller.

My question is, wtf does Blomkamp have blowing up his skirt that's so important that he needs to leave freakin' Robocop Returns?
Something happened and it wasn't a scheduling thing.

It does seem a little abrupt, on the 29th June he posted that the script was being written and when someone asked about the suit (in relation to it being original) he replied something like '1million% original' Also he'd been in talks with Weller too....then this, like 6 weeks later.

Yeah I have seen a couple fans complain about the same thing with him in light of this news.
So far as Weller, I caught a video (not sure where to look for it now) where Weller was saying he wouldn't do anything Robocop unless there is money/payment, otherwise he's done. Obviously there would be for a movie but I don't know if talks progressed any further (amount he'd want and what they could pay etc.) |

Pretty sure, though... #1. Of course he'll f***ing do it. #2. The Robocop suit could probably be made a lot more comfortably now in 2019, plus with better cooling tech, etc.. #3. The actual need for him to spend extended periods of time in the suit is pretty minimal. Alternately, as they really just need his face and voice, the whole movie could be his face mo-capped onto a stunt double's.

Eh... no. There's Robocop 1-3, then the Robocop TV series which I struggled to get through, and then a few years later there was the Robocop: Prime Directives 4 part miniseries which I actually remember liking quite a bit. I don't think Prime Directives is compatible with the TV show because of what happens with his son.

The news about Robo 4 is disappointing. I think, Blowkamp (sic?) could have nailed the town set by the first movie or at least provide some adequate alternative. As long as it wouldn't be grimderp, like Robo 2 or castrated childish trash, like Robo 3 or producer-ridden mess like RoboReboot, it could've been good. |

Well, let's wait and see who they bring in as the new director before we write it off completely. It is a bit disheartening that they want to rush it out, though... if that's even true.

There were also 2 Robocop cartoons. RoboCop: The Animated Series in 1988 with only 12 episodes and RoboCop: Alpha Commando in 1998 with 40 episodes.
