New Robo Movie in the works at MGM ???

[POCOBOR]

Looks like it’s starting to take a Corporate Wars-esque shape. As off beat as it sounds. Tulsa? Maybe they’re going with that 2000AD feel like in the CW draft...maybe a ‘Tulsa-Plex’ or whatever. And if that’s the case I’d personally like to see them go the BR2049 route as far as production design. Take the original’s concept of the future and expand on that instead of expanding on today’s technology and having the concept catch up to us like the reboot did. Because to me RoboCop doesn’t belong in our real world timeline he belongs in that specific dystopia set up in the first movie and that’s something I thought the sequels cared less and less about as they went along. The minimalist vision for RoboCop should be steel and concrete, not iPhones and plastic.
I just hope they hire a good director who agrees with Ed and Michael’s vision and hopefully MGM will be hands off as far as creative control since that’s a big part of why the original worked the way it did; Davison and Orion leaving well enough alone and being supportive at the same time.
And yes, I’m all about doing some set visits. Maybe we could get more of the gang together next time. 😀

Thank you POCOBOR for the Robo news hunt! Much appreciated

The possibility of it being animated was interesting, but i'm glad that won't be the case. After the remake fail I was afraid that MGM wasn't ready to cough up the cash for a live action movie, and that they'd go the Starship Troopers route instead. It's good that the faith in Robo is still stong.

The animated films have a much smaller audience and don't make much money. It'd be a waste of developing a proper RoboCop sequel with the original writers and not have it be live-action.

Very good points about it being live action and I have to concur. Though unfortunately that makes me in some ways more skeptical rather than less. Still though, I agree that it is a good sign of support. Now here's hoping they get he rest of it right. Would love for it to take some kind of Corporate Wars shape. I agree with you about keeping that simple tone and grit to the look of it though - like you said Poco, steel and concrete. Some 'current'/'new' bits maybe, but yes, much of it should be cold and brutal, just like Sandell said about the original.

I'm happy to see something's up with Robocop this year, and I think an 80's type of scenario could definitely work, and I for one would be in favor because I remember the 80's well enough. Ed Neumier seems like the logical choice for this, and although I never read Corporate Wars, the concept sounds interesting to me.

if they can recreate the look and feel of a screwed up detroit of the first film's time period, that's half the battle and it might be good. i've always said if the special effects were better in part one meaning if sfx were twenty years ahead of where they were back then, it would have won more oscars than it did


now on to casting. please don't give us one of the three or four non american actors that always get named for every movie lead regardless of what it may be.
