    Robocop

    Found it....
    I'm Shock too....

    It's Official! Darren Aronofsky Directing New ROBOCOP!
    It's official! Filmmaker Darren Aronofsky (REQUIEM FOR A DREAM, THE FOUNTAIN, THE WRESTLER) will direct the new ROBOCOP film from a script by David Self (THE ROAD TO PERDITION, THE HAUNTING). While plot details are unconfirmed, the new ROBOCOP is rumored to be more sequel than remake. No word on if the plan is still to shoot it in 3D like we reported earlier HERE. Below is the press release from MGM!

    Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures (MGM) has signed Darren Aronofsky to direct and David Self to write a new installment for its "RoboCop" franchise. Aronofsky, the director of The Fountain, and Self, the writer of Road to Perdition, make a formidable creative team, fast tracking the RoboCop motion picture and spotlighting it as one of the most anticipated new films for 2010.

    In making the announcement Parent said: "Darren is undeniably one of the most talented, original and visceral film makers, and David is one of the greatest writers in Hollywood. All of us at MGM couldn't be more excited."

    Phoenix Pictures' Mike Medavoy, Arnold Messer, Brad Fischer and David Thwaites will produce "RoboCop." Cale Boyter, Executive Vice President Production at MGM will oversee the project for the studio.

    Phoenix Pictures' Chairman and CEO Mike Medavoy said: "After making the first 'RoboCop' at Orion more than 20 years ago, I'm thrilled to be helping to return this character to the screen with our partners at MGM and through the eyes of Darren Aronofsky and David Self."

    Phoenix co-presidents Brad Fischer and David Thwaites added: "With a filmmaker of Darren Aronofsky's vision and imagination and a writer of David Self's caliber, we are poised to bring to the screen an entertaining and provocative film, which will now be under the creative guidance of two of the best storytellers working in our industry today."

    The original RoboCop, which premiered in 1987, was "part man, part machine and all cop." The film's storyline focused on the future of law enforcement as a terminally wounded cop returns to the police force as a powerful cyborg haunted by submerged memories. The original film was nominated for two Academy Awards -- Best Film Editing and Best Sound.

    The original kicked ass. I dont know about a fucking re-boot, re-make, or whatever no matter who is directing it. I do like Aronofsky,though. Free Image Hosting at spacepimping.com

    It'll be interesting to see what Darren Aronofsky does with this. I've enjoyed his previous flicks.

    I wonder if any of the fascist subtext from the first film will remain, or if Aronofsky will go in a completely new direction.

    Wonder who will be under the metal, I mean Peter Weller isn't getting any younger here...

    at first I thought this was a bad idea, cuz I love the original. But the more I thought about it, I've been wanting to see Robocop back on the bigscreen for awhile now, and lets face it his sequals and those TV show/movies sucked. I'm all for it now.

    Weller has said that suit was one of the most grueling things he's been put through. At 60 I don't think he has any interest in doing it again.


    I'd rather seem Verhoeven and Ed Neumeier do something with the character again, but this seems like it may be in good hands.

    More or less already know no matter who you put behind the directors chair or what rating this movie gets.

    Its going to be a different movie with a different feel.

    Always that way.
