MGM has officially signed Darren Aronofsky to direct and David Self to write a new installment for its ROBOCOP franchise. Aronofsky has previously directed "The Fountain", and David Self, is the writer of "Road to Perdition"
The upcoming film, directed by Darren Aronofsky, is "definitely not a sequel" says co-producer Mike Medavoy, despite early online rumors. It is also likely that the new movie will get a R rating.
Quote:
Asked where in the series the fourth film would fall, whether it would come after the first, second or third films in the series' internal universe, Fischer and Medavoy were adamant that it would stand on its own, apart from the character's earlier incarnations.
"None of the earlier films are going to be canonical, as a matter of fact," Fischer revealed. "I wouldn't say it's a direct sequel."
"Definitely not a sequel," Medavoy added, saying he preferred the term "reimagining."
As for specific details on the plot or look of the film, Fischer and Medavoy remained more secretive than Area 51, only going so far as to say, "All will be revealed."
Whatever the story, it will be guided to the big-screen by Aronofsky, the director of "Requiem for a Dream" and "Pi," whom Fischer referred to as one of the brightest and most intelligent filmmakers around.
But why a "Robocop" reboot at all? Medavoy, who worked on the earlier three films, said it's because the themes explored in the first film, of fading humanity in the face of corporate and commercial omnipresence, have only become more relevant in the intervening 15 years.
"The themes of machines and technology, for instance, that's certainly become even more prevalent today in terms of man giving up certain things to his creations and his technology and his reliance to that. It's pretty provocative stuff," he said. "You've got people today with all kinds of different implants and mechanical implants. Where does that person become no longer human? After the first one? After 50 percent of the brain gets replaced? A lot of the themes that we dealt with in the original are still very interesting to us."
As to whether Peter Weller, the star of "Robocop," would make an appearance, Medavoy would only say that it was "the director's choice."
The subject has come up before, and I'll reiterate that if this is any form of remake then it should not go ahead. The themes explored in Robocop 1 & 2 were either of their time or have been done to death (at least as far as drugs go). There's no chance on improving on Robocop 1, why make an inferior film?

Yeah they want to reboot it like what batman begins did for batman.
im not for it but i want see it what they do to it.supposely its gonna take place in L.A . Did you ever hear about the scrapped robocop vs terminator film in 1995.nothing came from it they couldnt find a director
With Aronofsky at the helm he can whatever he likes with this as far as I'm concerned. The Fountain and Requiem For A Dream fucked with my head and I loved every minute of both of them.
Yeah, I'm pretty excited about seeing Aronofsky's take on this as well. He's right about the themes of the first one being more relevant today. It should be good.
