" RoboCop " is currently still in the writing stages of development, but director Jose Padilha has revealed several details relating to the forthcoming remake movie. To IGN, the Brazilian filmmaker shared that his upcoming sci-fi film project will have the same elements from the original " RoboCop " film, which was directed by Paul Verhoeven. "Verhoeven made that film in the '80s, and it was brilliant," so the 44-year-old filmmaker said.
