Robocop Sequel/Reboot in the Works
- Thread starter Penguin
- Start date
I actually really enjoyed the recent remake, mostly because I saw it as someone making a full action film inspired by the main story beats of the original, rather than trying to fully remake the satire filled intentions of the original.
Not sure anyone can pull off a proper remake/sequel to the first 2.

This will never work until they realize what made the original Robocop so timeless in the first place.
I'd buy that for a dollar.

Robocop, The Terminator, Captain Kirk and Darth VaderGoing the Terminator route I see.
Just make this at this point:
No, but I liked his Halo stuff. The dude is obviously talented, but he hasn't been great at translating that to good films.
With a property like this I think you need enough camp and self awareness to go along with the ultra violence or it ends up coming off as ghoulish and out of touch. If they go the PG-13 route then they might as well not even bother. It's going to end up being completely cheesy without the hard edge.
Same. Also the sound effects were very disturbing. This montage did it's job.
Please send me there
Blomkamp's style seemed like a perfect fit for robo returns even if not all of his movies have been slam dunks
That's probably the reality that rains donuts too while I'm stuck in the shitty one
Who on earth sees a guy who has done one zombie comedy and is like "yeah give him the keys to robocop for sure"
Has this script from the original writers ever been made available? Is there any hope of this being ok?
The reboot was ruined by studio execs. It starts out decent but once he gets back to Detroit you can see where the execs fucked it up.
Was interested if Neil was still involved. Regardless of what you think of chappie he does amazing fx work
Would love to have seen his version of Aliens and now Robocop

Make it PG. More accessible to a wider audience! Also remove the critique of corporations please.
Even standing on its own merits, the remake was a complete nothing movie. No story, no villain, no characters, no lines, no action, no memorable scenes, no memorable music, no great effects.
The remake is a forgotten vapor with the faint odor of a turd.
I am down if it's rated R, but even even so.... nothing will be as special as the original one. The original Robocop is a movie I'll show my kids in a few years. Nothing can touch it. It is timeless.
At least it isnt the Chappie director...???
Gonna ignore this like I've ignored all post '87 Predator films, post-Cameron Alien films, and post Judgment Day Terminator films

Look, I want to see this, but this weird trend of doing "nostalgia sequels", ignoring the "bad sequels" is pretty dumb. Either you reboot or you don't.
They want to have their cake and eat it too. You can do a reboot but say 'oh but we like the original, honest!'.
If they pull this shit on Gremlins and try to ignore 2, I'll want blood. (Then again, they'll include the sequel too if it's beloved "enough", apparently, like Dark Fate.)
I mean, there isn't a lot you would need to reference from 2.
I'll be by your side with the pitchfork. Gremlins 2 will always be canon. The best canon.
I guess not, so long as it doesn't involve Billy or Gizmo, and I guess I'd be okay with that. Have a new story with a different mogwai and a different owner in a different area, start fresh. Be original.
If this does actually go through, I hope they use whatever Blomkamp was able to finish before he had to leave, if he had started anything at all. I would rather they just wait tbh, because if anyone could do the film justice, it would have been him.
