She seemed so nice...  Is there a script of the pre-Kirshner version?  Has she explained it any further.  Here's a bit of the story:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RoboCop_2

However, Miller's script was labeled "unfilmable" by producers and studio executives. His script was heavily changed through rewrites, and drastically re-written into what became RoboCop 2. *OMIT*  His original screenplay for RoboCop 2 took on an almost "urban legend" status, and was later turned into a nine-part comic book series called Frank Miller's RoboCop. Critical reaction to the comic adaptation of the Miller script were mixed to negative.

She might still be nice. Kirshner made a cracking film in TESB but to do so all the planets need to be alligned, you need a bit of luck etc.

Same with Lucas, before TPM came out people loved him, no-one could wait for the prequels. Now 10 years down the line he's looked upon in very different terms.
