If Frank Miller would do it, it'd be a reboot. We don't need no more ****ty sequels of Officer Murphey pussyfooting around to rescue his dead partner while flying over opressed cops on strike and following orders from a black police chief.
It'll be a white chief... Obama won.
Maybe they'll make Nicholas Cage RoboCop, he already seems jerky and mechanical enough for bot rolls.

[quote]2010 film
Sony Pictures (Screen Gems division) was working on a new RoboCop film in late 2005. No details were revealed other than the unofficial (and confirmed) announcement. In November 2006, [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloody_Disgusting"][COLOR=#0000ff]Bloody Disgusting[/COLOR][/URL] reported that the RoboCop remake had been halted.[URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RoboCop#cite_note-11"][COLOR=#0000ff][12][/COLOR][/URL]
In March 2008, however, RoboCop was mentioned in an MGM press release[URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RoboCop#cite_note-12"][COLOR=#0000ff][13][/COLOR][/URL] regarding franchises it would be focusing on in the future. An MGM poster displayed at the Licensing International Expo of June 2008 read, "RoboCop coming 2010".[URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RoboCop#cite_note-13"][COLOR=#0000ff][14][/COLOR][/URL] The studio has met with [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darren_Aronofsky"][COLOR=#0000ff]Darren Aronofsky[/COLOR][/URL] to discuss the possibility of his directing the film.[URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RoboCop#cite_note-14"][COLOR=#0000ff][15][/COLOR][/URL]. Aronofsky was confirmed as the director during [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G4"][COLOR=#0000ff]G4[/COLOR][/URL]'s live coverage of Comic-Con. This new film is not expected to be a sequel, but rather a [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reboot_(fiction)"][COLOR=#0000ff]rebooted[/COLOR][/URL] version.

[quote]It's been confirmed that Aronofsky has signed on to make the new Robocop, which raises my hopes for this film. DA is a great director, and at the very least the film would be dark as hell. Producers have also hired the writer of Road to Perdition to pen the script....that can only be thought of as a good thing(RtP is one of my favorites). One more piece of good news: the producers promise an R-rated film.

Also; a few forum talks related to Aronofsky and the 2010 film, begining with an interview with Aronofsky-
[quote][SIZE=1]Aronofsky is in Toronto enjoying the accolades from his latest work THE WRESTLER, and got to chatting with slashfilm.com about the numerous other projects on his plate, which of course includes RoboCop2010. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=1]_____________________________________________________________________________________________ [/SIZE]
[SIZE=1]## QUESTION: And when I first saw the rumors Robocop I was like “No way! This can’t be rea!?” [/SIZE]
[SIZE=1]Darren Aronofsky: Well, what I like about Robocop is that it’s Hollywood is making big films right now and I’ve always had an interest in that. You know about my flirtations with some of those other projects, but which at some point we’ll set the record straight on a lot of it because there’s a lot of bull**** out there about all this stuff… But what the thing I like about Robocop is that it’s not as iconic as those other titles, and I think that fans of it will be open to reinterpretation. And yet a studio will probably back it because it’s got that tent pole feeling to it. I think it could be a lot of fun if we can get the script right. I’ve always had an interest in doing big movies, and not just doing independent films. And that’s why I’ve tried to get them going a lot. The whole thing with The Dark Knight was that through that whole process I was always trying to make The Fountain and because I was on the Fountain for six years, they moved on. But that was my main goal and when they offered the project to me I thought it was probably the smartest thing to do since this was before Requiem for a Dream had any fan base. I figured they’re never going to hire me to do something with the Fountain. I had to get them to perceive me as being a bigger director, so that’s why I agreed to write it. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=1]## QUESTION: Is it going to be a sequel or is it a remake? [/SIZE]
[SIZE=1]Darren Aronofsky: It’s absolutely unrelated to the original. As Mike Medavoy already went on the record. David Self and my team have been working really hard on it. It’s a completely new universe. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=1]## QUESTION: Is it going to be set in the future, or is it going to be today? [/SIZE]
[SIZE=1]Darren Aronofsky: It’s going to be the future. And it’s really great. We’ve got to nail the script then we’ve got to find a script that the studio wants to make. So we’ve got work to do… [/SIZE]
[SIZE=1]## QUESTION: So tell me this, with The Fountain you did so many practical special effects, like that whole climax sequence… with Robocop would you be… [/SIZE]
[SIZE=1]Darren Aronofsky: I have no idea. I have no idea. It’s so early, but I think cyborgs are really interesting, because… I think it’s so funny. I got an MRI. Here’s a funny story. The last day of shooting, Mickey made me jump off the top rope. He made the whole crew jump off the top rope. I went first, and it was the last day of shooting, after a grueling shoot. It was late at night, and I was wearing boots. I wasn’t even wearing sneakers and I jumped. I got over the top rope and my tip of my toe caught the top rope and I went bam! I landed on my ****in’ head and on my neck. My neck was killing me for five weeks, so I went to get MRI. I’m fine, but to take an MRI, you can’t have any metal on your body because it’s basically a giant magnet. So there’s a check list of probably 30 things that you could have. Like an eyelid shutter, pacemakers, re-implants. I couldn’t believe the different types of things that people have in their bodies. And I realized you know what? We are in a cyborg culture, we are part cyborg already. It’s only a matter of time till we have the cell phones in our head and the mp3 players in our ears… [/SIZE]
[SIZE=1]## QUESTION: And it’s all going to get more nano too. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=1]Darren Aronofsky: Yeah, so there are a lot of interesting themes out there that connect even more than when Verhoeven did it. And I have full 100 percent respect for that, but I kind of don’t even want to go near that territory, except for the “*****es, leave!” line. [laughs] Otherwise I think that’s the only shout out to the movie we’ll have. [/SIZE]

So, they're basically going for a batman-like slamdunk.
From what I've digged up, I have a good feeling about this film if Aronofsky sticks to his guns and comes through. I just hope he takes it upon himself to seek out Miller for some advice or atleast creative assistance. Frank Miller is what made the original plots work (with the exception of half of RC2 and all of 3).
As long as it has "I'd buy that for a dollar!" I'll be happy.
