Neill Blomkamp, the director behind District 9 and Elysium, is set to helm the new installment of RoboCop for MGM.
The new film will be called RoboCop Returns. According to Deadline, Justin Rhodes will pen the script. Rhodes also wrote the screenplay for the upcoming Terminator reboot.
RoboCop’s original writers — Ed Neumeier and Michael Miner — had originally written a draft for a sequel to the original movie and, though Rhodes is rewriting the script, will remain creatively involved as a producer and executive producer, respectively.
