Paul Verhoeven ‘Wouldn’t Hesitate’ to Make Another Blockbuster

The 85-year-old director is hoping to shoot a political thriller titled “Young Sinner” later this year, but he hasn’t ruled out a return to genre filmmaking.

In the 1980s and ’90s, Paul Verhoeven became synonymous with high profile science fiction films that combined cutting social satire with Hollywood spectacle. From his cyborg police saga “ RoboCop ” to his Arnold Schwarzenegger-led Philip K. Dick adaptation “Total Recall” to his misunderstood fascism satire “Starship Troopers,” the Dutch filmmaker made many of the genre’s most recognizable classics. He is currently preparing to shoot a political thriller called “Young Sinner,” which would mark his fist American film since he released “Hollow Man” in 2000.
