TheRoboCopfranchise isnt down for the count.

Neumeier will stay on as a producer and Miner an executive producer.

We had, Neumeier toldDeadlinein breaking the news.

He then is remade as the cyborg we now know as RoboCop.

Kinnamans run as the character was critically bashed in America, but ended up making $246.7 million worldwide.

I think that we should have gone and found more humor and more charm in it.

And its tricky doing a movie likeRoboCopat PG-13.

But, with all that said, as a film, Im really proud of it.

I think its a really good movie that has really interesting concepts.

Verhoeven alsothrew in his own two centson the remake in 2016.

Somehow they seem to think that the lightness of sayTotal RecallandRoboCopis a hindrance, he said.

So they take these somewhat absurd stories and make them much too serious.

I think that is a mistake.

The filmmaker toldDeadlineVerhoevensRoboCophad a massive effect on his kid self.

What I connected to as a kid has evolved over time, he said.

That is most captivating.

The other thing I am excited by is the chance to work again with Justin Rhodes.

This is a movie I would love to watch.
