Cancelled Robocop 2 Detailed By Director Neill Blomkamp

Neill Blomkamp details the plans he had for his canceled Robocop 2. Released in 1987, Paul Verhoeven’s original vision of a cyborg cop cleaning up dystopian Detroit became a smash at the box office, and went on to be considered one of the true classics of 1980s action. The film would later get a pair of poorly-regarded sequels, followed by a pair of short-lived TV series. Much later, Robocop would be remade, but critics and audiences alike rejected the 2014 re-imagining of Verhoeven’s film. Then in 2018, plans were hatched by District 9 director Blomkamp to unleash his own follow-up, based on a rejected Robocop sequel concept from the original movie’s writers Ed Neumeier and Michael Miner.
