I am bored with the whole lot of them.

If Paul Verhoeven did a sci-fi movie again I might be curious.
if he did the Robocop sequel he mentioned-I would have to see it-but
no one who gets any media platform is going to be able to make a film that isn't full of political bs.

That would be a (potentially) good fan film project--Robocop Reactivated.

Crowdfund it. I'd buy that for a dollar.

I think Verhoeven became disillusioned with being a Hollywood director after his experience on Hollow Man.

IMDB Hollow Man trivia:

Paul Verhoeven was dissatisfied with the film. In 2013, he remarked to The Hollywood Reporter: "I decided after Hollow Man, this is a movie, the first movie that I made that I thought I should not have made. It made money and this and that, but it really is not me anymore. I think many other people could have done that. I don't think many people could have made RoboCop that way, or either Starship Troopers. But Hollow Man, I thought there might have been twenty directors in Hollywood who could have done that. I felt depressed with myself after 2002." In earlier interviews, Verhoeven explained that the job was offered in a period where many of his proposed movie projects had fallen through, and he accepted to stay in business.
