The first Robocop movie was seriously one of the coolest movies of its time and Peter Weller as Alex Murphey was amazing.

The original writer for Robocop, Ed Neumeier, is up for the job, directing a Robocop movie.  I'm not going to say sequel or remake just yet because we just don't know.  All though Neumeier wants to do it, write and direct, MGM hasn't yet approached him.

“I would love to make a ‘Robocop’ movie,” declared Ed Neumeier, the original screenwriter of Paul Verhoeven’s classic before comic creator Frank Miller took over scripting reigns for the film’s sequels.

If police officer Alex J. Murphy does head back to Hollywood, Neumeier — who went on to write “Starship Troopers” 1 and 2, and is directing the third — promises that he’s the man for the director’s chair. “I actually have a lot of ideas about what we could do with Robocop now,” he told us. “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.”

I'd love to see another Robocop movie even though I would hate it to be a remake.  I'm sure fans all over the world would hate Robocop to be a remake.  At this point who knows. 

If Neumeier can get involved, I think that would be really cool.  What MGM needs to do is hire Neumeier and bring back Paul Verhoeven, Robocop director, and let them bring back the magic to the franchise, but I have a feeling that won't happen.

I feel like this movie is going to be made in to a big bag of crap if made at all.
