Darren Aronofsky May Direct Robocop
Holy shit. Look, there’s no real news here?/Film says only that Aronofsky is in talks with MGM about the remake, which we all collectively groaned over when it was first announced?but even the idea of an Aronofsky-directed Robocop is enough to make me shiver with delight. You know, I honestly couldn’t imagine another director improving on Verhoeven’s original, but I never thought of Aronofsky. Bullets would fly, and bitches would leave, that’s for sure.
