It'd presumably be a Blade Runner 2049 kind of a thing. RoboCop: 30 Years Later, Weller as an obsolete model lawman. So many possibilities within that.

Yeah, I can see that.
It would be interesting to see evolution of ideas and designs from original trilogy.
I just really hope that they find competent producers, who won't mess with the movie.

They'll have to come up with a reason as to why he has a gut now, but I'll watch this the second it comes out. Old Robocop is what I was dreaming of while watching the remake. The whole time I kept thinking, why can't they do a Rocky Balboa style Robocop movie?

If they go that route, the movie would be about a new Robocop looking for answers, and searching for the original Robocop to find out what has happened in the past.

Or they built a newer model that's more advance, and the original Robocop has to proof that he isn't obsolete, and can still do things better then the newer one.

On note about Weller, I don't think they will put him into the suit - the original suits were extremely uncomfortable and heavy, and he is an old man now.
Most likely they will do some superimposing of his face onto double or something.

You might be right, then again... #1. If they're going to do this, they're probably going to go at it old-school. #2. Hollywood has had 30 years since Robocop to make suits like that less grueling to be in.

[ProactiveMan]

Yeah - they can paint foam to look like metal these days.

CGI route would have been easier.
But we'll see, if this idea materialize into anything of substance.

[Andrew NDB]

It's a bit the opposite of something like Ninja Turtles, though... where the rise of mo-cap suits and CGI allows for more movement and freedom and such... Robocop? He doesn't need any of that. He's supposed to be this lumbering hulk of a thing, clomping about.

This post made me incredibly excited that this could be true.
