In 1978 RoboCop hit the big screen. Written by Ed Neuemier and Michael Miner, many assumed it would be a piece of schlock. However under the direction of Paul Verhoeven, RoboCop became a surprise hit and recieved critical acclaim.

The 1980s was a great decade for science fiction. Between Star Wars and Star Trek, original blockbusters and scrappy low budget B-movies, my favourite three from this era make up what I call the “Paul Verhoeven Sci-Fi Masterpiece Trilogy.” Those movies are Starship Troopers, Total Recall and the subject of this retrospective, Robocop!

The newest adaptation of Dune, directed by Denis Villeneuve has finally hit cinemas – and HBO Max, but you should probably see it on the big screen – and against all the odds it has been a huge success, with Dune Part Two recently being green lit. While I will be releasing my thoughts on the movie – basically my review – later on, for this video I wanted to examine the marketing, box office trends and other factors which contributed to Dune becoming a hit when it seemed like such a difficult thing to pull off. After all if Dune can do it, maybe some other supposedly “unfilmable” projects can do it too.
