MGM recently released a list of their upcoming projects, which included a new “Robocop” movie. Now Ed Neumeier, the original screenwriter of Paul Verhoeven’s classic, told MTV News that he would be interested in helming the new film. “I would love to make a ‘Robocop’ movie,” he said.
Whether Neumeier will end up helming the film is still unknown, but he wants everyone to know that he’s the man to take over the franchise. “I actually have a lot of ideas about what we could do with Robocop now,” he explained. “I think he’s a very vital character at the moment.”
Given the current political climate, Neumeier sees a natural fit for his style of writing that made the original “Robocop” one of the most subversive films of the period. “I’m not saying this is what’s happening,” he began, “but would it be funny to say that there’s a climate of fear that has been pervasive in the media that [says] we should stay at home, we should buy more stuff, and we should not protest or ask anything? So we might play around with that or something.”
