Development Hell thread

"Robocop Returns" seems pretty firmly in development hell. Blomkamp surfaced as the director of it after Ridley Scott f***ed him out of his Alien movie, only to leave it in a hurry when TPTB wanted to roll on it very quickly and he wanted to do another movie that never happened either in the meantime... and then for TPTB also to not roll on it very quickly after all. Unless Blomkamp was lying. I had a suspicion based on really nothing but, well, suspicion and a couple of articles... that maybe Blomkamp was super keen to do the movie with Peter Weller, then Peter Weller was like "nah!" and then maybe Blomkamp was not so keen to do the movie anymore. Because why bother, at that point?

They announced the new director like a year ago now but still nada after that.
