I can think of one recent example where directors listened to the wishes of the studio/producer and it worked out great. It's called the MCU.

They didn't have much choice.

I don't think Mangold has ever shown much of a talent for satirical, sardonic humour. Verhoeven is a master at juggling different tones in a single scene, let alone a whole film.

Think “Logan” had ...

In any case, I don’t hold out much hope for this anymore. James Mangold, who directed “Cop Land”, “Logan” and “The Wolverine”, just signed on last month to replace Steven Spielberg on the next Indiana ...

Just for the record, I underestimate everyone's ability to write RoboCop – except maybe the original creators ... and maybe John Wagner/Alan Grant (writing team of 80s Judge Dredd).

Alan Grant is o ...

don't underestimate my ability to write RoboCop, I do have a BA in creative writing after all.

Pimp, please. Let's not start that kind of passive-aggressive talk. Don't underestimate mine or other ...

That happens a lot in The Series, and gets tiring to me just having his son or wife getting in trouble over and over. Even in The Series he tries to distance from them, making them believe hes just ...

As for the family theme, I think RoboCop 1 (and 2) handled pretty well. Robo won´t "get the girl" at the end. Murphy´s legally dead, and his family are "dead" as well. He´s a cyb ...

RoboCop is a different character to work with: after he says "Murphy" at the end of the first film his story is done.

Not entirely; Murphy accepts his humanity and his identity at the end ...

Personally I think Neumeier and Miner may have hit the jackpot with RoboCop. As Spectrum Scarlet stated the antagonist with a football helmet sounded ridiculous. I enjoyed Starship Troopers but the se ...

Again, not sure if they´re going to get back to Corporate Wars, but it´d be the smartest choice. And Verhoeven is still directing; sadly Hollywood doesn´t want him after people didn´t get Starship Tro ...

Considering how much Blomkamp was moving away from Neumeier & Miner's original Corporate Wars story idea, his leaving is a good thing.

What's the point if the creators are ignored; they were b ...

We dodged a bullet.

Blomkamp was making too many changes to the original story idea that Neumeier & Mineer were hired by MGM to develop.

While this news was probably meant to reassure us, it has done the opposite. First we heard about it, the script had been done for decades! Then it had an edit done... and now it's being written? No m ...

Didn´t he make the same thing with Alien? They got free publicity with these (almost) dead franchises and then they move to their own thing.

The studio never announced he would make Aien 5, it w ...
