Robocop (2014)

The remake that supposly coming is really a sequal

Bloody-Disgusting has learned that MGM and Phoenix Pictures are close to signing Darren Aronofsky (Requiem for a Dream) to direct the new "Robocop" movie, which will apparently be a sequel and not a remake. Here is the logline:

"Present day Los Angeles, 20 years after the termination of the RoboCop program, the city decides to reinstate the program."

At one point, Aronofksy was in talks to re-do the Batman franchise, but that position ended up going to Christopher Nolan, who is now looking to release the second installment, "The Dark Knight," on July 18th. We will never know what Aronofsky would have done with Batman, but we may soon find out which direction he will take "RoboCop" into.

"RoboCop" is scheduled to appear in theaters in 2010.

Lets hope its as violent as the first two films and NOT PG rated like the third one.

Hmm... i gotta know..

Loved pt. 1. 2 was cool. 3 sucked hard. Did that one even hit theatres or did it go straight to VHS..

So will this new Robocop be a sequel or a redo of part 1 or the franchise.

Would've been nice if they kept the setting Detroit City. Or that "New Detroit" city they were suppose to build.

I saw the guy who played Robocop (Peter Weller) yesterday hosting this show on History Ch.HD narrating "The rise and fall of Carthage". He looked good. He should reprise the role..

The film may have potential but 50% of me is saying i dunno. Hope it works out..

Do Not Want.
they already did a straight to video robocop.

Paul Verhoven is one of my favorite directors so I'm glad they are getting Aronofsky to pick up the franchise, he's great too. I pretend that Robocop 2 and 3 never happened. I hope they make a new badass ED-209 type of robot. I can't wait for this, there is a lot of potential.

i hope this is good, Robocop was my childhood hero, gotta have that theme song

Hopefully more violence

Hey robocop 2 was great it was the third one which was a turd.

I dont know if there is already a thread for this. But I'm already extremely hyped. Robocop 1 and 2 are amongst my favorite films. So lets talk about this upcoming installment. Hopefully they forget Robocop 3 and returns Murphy back to his violent and dark roots.

will it be rated R?

if not, send it back.

Only things I have heard about this is that there will be a 2010 release and the Darren Aronofsky is attached to direct.

Darren aronofsky? Damn, im actually going to look this up now because that is exciting news.

It's going to be a lot darker compared to the original movies, and taken in a different direction according to the makers. The director is very good too! can't wait.

I would have been happy if they had Paul Verhoven direct, as he did the first one, but Darren will do.

As long this is going to violent and have a good story, this should be good. Whoever is casted hopefully can act..

Aronofsky is a great director, could be good, but surely nothing can compare to the original.

I wonder if he will cast his hot wife in this??

Who's his wife?

Rachel Weisz.

Oh yeah, she's fine.
