RoboCop is back. Maybe. Ten years after the José Padilha-directed reboot film starring Joel Kinnaman, and nearly four decades since the 1987 Paul Verhoeven masterpiece that started it all, the tragic cyber policeman could finally see action again. And this time, the medium should be ideal for the concept. The world was never really ready for RoboCop in 1987, but Alex Murphy is overdue for a return.
According to Deadline, James Wan will executive-produce a new RoboCop series written by Peter Ocko. Wan is well-known for his horror movies like The Conjuring, while Oko’s writing credits span several TV shows, from Elementary to The Office. What would a 21st-century RoboCop series from these creators look like? And will it correct the mistakes of previous sequels and remakes?
