MGM is finally bringing RoboCop back to the big screen, but it looks like they're going back to their roots with this next sequel! They've set District 9 director to captain the dystopic sequel! More within...
Back in 1987, Orion released the memorable sci-fi picture about a Detroit cop, Alex Murphy, that is wounded so bad, he undergoes an experimental surgery, ultimately turning him into a cyborg. As we all know, that movie was known as RoboCop. During its run, the original earned over $50 million, which by that time's standards was pretty big, as well as several Oscar nominations and a win in Best Sound Effects Editing. 1990 and 1993 saw sequels to the 1987 original, in RoboCop 2 and 3, until ultimately becoming dormant until 2014's failed reboot, starring Joel Kinnamon (amassing $210 million worldwide). Now, MGM looks to bring back Alex Murphy & co. with a script from original writers Ed Neumeier and Michael Miner...
