Neill Blomkamp to Direct RoboCop Returns

Sci-fi is a genre that District 9 and Chappie director Neill Blomkamp genuinely loves and respects. This is why he’s such a good choice to reboot the RoboCop franchise with RoboCop Returns. Deadline reports that Blomkamp’s new film will have the writing team behind the 1987 original, Ed Neumeier and Michael Miner, on board to produce and executive-produce. Neumeier and Miner wrote a script for a RoboCop sequel years ago that never saw the light of day—until now.
