Robocop sequel in progress
Does the sequel tie in directly with the first part?
A director has finally been found who will take over the sequel of the cult 80s movie
Robocop. Little Monsters" director Abe Forsythe is said to have been hired to direct the
script of the original authors Edward Neumeier and Michael Miner, which was created
together with Terminator Dark Fate author Justin Rhodes. Similar to the Halloween or the
new edition of Terminator, the unpopular sequels Robocop 2 and 3 will be ignored, which
means that the new Robocop will directly tie in with the original of 1987. Whether the
Robocop franchise can also be modernized, however, is questionable. A similar attempt was
already made in 2014 with a new Robocop film, which, however, fell far short of
expectations. Director Forsythe's premise will probably be similar to the one of his
predecessor, namely to stay as close as possible to the brutal and satirical original. When we
will see policeman Alex Murphy in his robot body on screen again isn't certain yet.
