Robocop Returns sees burnt-out, middle-aged Robocop assigned new roborookie as robopartner

The new Robocop reboot is to feature a burnt-out, middle-aged Robocop who has grown disillusioned with life on the roboforce assigned a roborookie as his new robopartner.

Initially dismissive of the roborookie’s enthusiasm for the robopolice, the film will explore how Robocop comes to believe once more in fighting robocrime.

“This is a more thoughtful take on Robocop,” said producer Nancy Weller.

“He’s not the Robocop he was – young, emotionless, and burning with robojustice.

“He’s grown older and cynical, he’s seen things. He drinks too much and is estranged from his robowife.

“There’s a beautiful moment when it starts to rain and Robocop just goes out and stands there, waiting to rust.

“He’s really sunk low, so this young roborookie is a real catalyst for his redemption in the robopolice.”

Whilst seemingly derivative, Ms Weller denied they had just taken the premise of Se7en or Men in Black or any number of buddy movies and just put ‘robo’ in front of everything.

“Oh come on, how cynical do you think we are?” she scoffed.

“Just putting ‘robo’ in front of different words to get a cheap laugh because we’re a bit short on ideas?

“How desperate would someone have to be to do that?”
