Amazon Prime Video’s Robocop TV show is underway – and with James Wan in tow.
According toDeadline, industry veteran Peter Ocko will serve as showrunner with James Wan set to executive-produce (so you know things are gonna get a little weird and spooky). The series reportedly follows the premise of the franchise and will “focus on a giant tech conglomerate which collaborates with the local police department to introduce a technologically advanced enforcer to combat rising crime – a police officer who’s part man, part machine.”
The first RoboCop movie, directed by Paul Verhoeven and starring Peter Weller, hit theaters back in 1987. The franchise follows Alex Murphy, a Detroit, Michigan police officer, who is murdered by a gang of criminals but brought back to life by the fictional megacorporation Omni Consumer Products and transformed into – you guessed it – a cyborg that is part robot and part cop. RoboCop.
Wan, who is known for directing Saw, the horror movie that arguably changed the genre forever, andThe Conjuringfranchise, has a lot of upcoming projects on his plate. The filmmaker is producing Stephen King adaptations Salem’s Lot and The Monkey under his Atomic Monster banner.
