In de jaren negentig dropte onze eigen 'Paul Verhoeven' de ene scifi klassieker na de ander. Denk hier bij aan Total Recall, Robocop en Star Ship Troopers. Maar Hollywood reboot nu de ene film na de ander en daar is Paul niet blij mee en ventileerde hij zijn mening in dit interview. Mja, hij moet maar eens accepteren dat zijn tijd voorbij is of beginnen met nieuwe goede films te maken.


It's to make money. It's like washing fluids: You add some mini changes, give it another color and you sell it again. You know, it's the same. That's what it is. It's like cookies: You change the form and the box and put more modern colors around it and say, 'We have new cookies.' Especially with RoboCop, which is perhaps more personal than Total Recall - because I was completely in that new American world and it was like a fish in a new water. So I think the film is extremely inspired by things that I had no idea about. And I went to the set and, boom, and tried this and that. And all of that worked very well.
