"...America has fallen into a landscape of revolution and chaos and 'OCP' has taken over 'Old Detroit' from the authorities in a political coup. Now it's up to 'RoboCop' and what's left of the Old Detroit Police Department to try and make it out of the state in order to get help from the US military. But 'ED-309' robots patrol the streets and OCP has a new, deadly prototype to send after 'Murphy', while RoboCop's sanity continues to crumble..."

Padilha said he is currently polishing the screenplay, targeting either a February or March 2012 start, with the film to be set in Detroit, as in director Paul Verhoeven's 1987 original feature "RoboCop".




Set in a crime-ridden Detroit of the future, "RoboCop" followed a straight-shooting police officer who is killed in the line of duty, then resurrected as a super-human cyborg. The film starred Peter Weller as officer 'Alex Murphy' aka 'RoboCop', Nancy Allen as 'Officer Anne Lewis', Ronny Cox as 'Omni Consumer products' Vice President 'Richard "Dick" Jones', Kurtwood Smith ("That 70's Show") as 'Clarence Boddicker' and Miguel Ferrer as 'OCP' Executive 'Robert "Bob" Morton'.
In addition to being a satirical action film, "RoboCop" includes larger themes regarding the media, gentrification and corruption.
The film spawned merchandise, two sequels, a television series, two animated TV series, a television mini-series, video games and comic book adaptations.
