Aronofsky off Robocop?
I heard some rumors about a month ago that things might not be going well in the universe of the ROBOCOP remake. Namely that Darren Aronofsky, who was hired this past summer to direct the "reimagining," was, let's say, losing interest in the project. Today Aronofsky called in to the Howard Stern Show to promote THE WRESTLER and when asked about ROBOCOP, Aronofsky said that he was working on the script but that he's "not sure" if it was still going to happen adding "we'll see..." Sadly Howard immediately segued into suggesting he be cast as Robocop in the movie and we never got any real follow-up. But it jives with what I've heard and word that Aronosfky's boxing drama THE FIGHTER is heating up. So would you be upset if Aronofsky left ROBOCOP? I'm not saying he's definitely gone but personally I think it's for the best. I'm sure after the success of THE WRESTLER Darren is getting all kinds of offers so we'll have to wait and see how this all plays out.

Extra Tidbit: Aronofsky also said that Dave Chappelle was his first choice for the Marlon Wayans role in REQUIEM FOR A DREAM.

the scene where (robo)cop gets shot down and killed (to become robocop) is gonna be so graphic intense and awesome.

IMO Robocop is a sci fi/action masterpiece that doesnt need to be touched UNLESS a phenomenal talent like Aronofsky is on board. It was the idea of his attachment that didn't make me freak out about them remaking the awesomeness of Robo 1.

To be honest, I really want to see him make that Noah's Ark movie.

Let's hope he sticks around, but all the interviews he has given have sounded very lukewarm toward the project, which just confuses the hell out of me. WHy sign on in the first place and then decide you don't ...

Something tells me he doesn't want to handle a big-budget film just yet.
There's plenty to explore with RoboCop. The whole forgotten memories reborn and recalled that bring back painful memories of love and all these emotions he just can't "compute," is something that is just very compelling from a storyline standpoint.
I thought Aronofsky saw promise in that.
