Amazon Looking To Bring Back 'ROBOCOP' With New Film And TV Series

It’s been 10 years since we saw an incarnation of Robocop on the big screen with 2014s remake, and the property hasn’t really gone anywhere after that. No new film, but there are a few items of note about the franchise that has us paying attention. For starters, new video game RoboCop: Rogue City is coming later this year, and the comprehensive documentary RoboDoc is headed to SCREAMBOX this year as well.

Additionally, Deadline reported that RoboCop is one of the MGM franchises that Amazon is hungry to bring back to life, now that Amazon owns that vast MGM library.

Deadline reports, “For the past year, since the deal closed in March 2022, Amazon Studios has been sifting through MGM’s library, identifying about a dozen initial titles for film and/or TV development, including Robocop, Stargate, Legally Blonde, Fame, Barbershop, The Magnificent Seven, Pink Panther and The Thomas Crown Affair.”

The site’s report continues, “Robocop also is being talked about for both film and TV, with a TV show possibly first, Deadline hears.”

We’ll keep you posted on any news we hear about Robocop in the coming months as usual.
