Aronofsky? Seriously? That's an extremely odd choice. But I'm all for it. This has a chance to be good.

You're right -- Robocop isn't a horror movie. Doesn't belong on this site, honestly. If being bloody is the only requirement then you better start covering action films as well.

With Darren attached I'll be less worried, but not relieved. I watched the original again recently and it still stands up 20 years on, only the effects look a little dated, but in a good way - Robocop has aged like a good wine. Leave it alone, but if you really have to make another I guess Darren is the guy for the job. KM

Robocop has always been one of my favourites movies! I hope they make it so good and so violent as the original. New New Flesh for the digital era!!!

Kiko, I agree with you when it comes to Robocop's violence as it was an integral part of the story - Detroit had become so violent that they had to tackle violence with violence. If the new film isnt viloent we'll have a brand new Alen vs Predator KM

Well it's a relief to know that Fred Dekker isn't directing this and this is going to be a sequel. I just hope they don't turn this into something like the Transformers and stay with the ultra violent action like the first one. Though, I still think someone at the studio should kiss Paul Verhoven's butt real hard and get him back.

I am all for another Robocop movie, as long as they don't goof it up again. Robo has been in a slump for far too long.

sweet i hope that it is a sequel wonder if theyll brinb back some of the survivors from the third one? i wish they didnt kill lewis off though....hpefully this will be good!

RoboCop isn't horror.

is good to be a secuel and all that said is not horror stop make coments about batman 2 if Darren Aronofsky make batman you see the real batman not this thing. also robocop is a great scifi-gore movie nice new mr. Disgusting

Sweet maybe its a Reboot sequal like superman returns .

EVERYONE FORGOT THE FOURTH ONE? IT WAS CALLED PRIME DIRECTIVES AND HAD ROBOCOP REPLACED BY A MORE ADVANCED MODEL. OFFICER JOHN CABLE WAS BETRAYED BY HIS WIFE(SARAH CABLE) AND WAS MADE INTO A SHINY NEW ROBOCOP. HE COULD HOLD TWO GUNS AT ONCE, WOWIE.....

No dissing Dekker. He hates it, as well. And the fourth was the TV series, I believe. Anyway, if anyone can tap into the feel of the original, it would be Aronofsky. Sounds good!

Great to see this will be a sequel. It looks like "sequels" AREN'T totally dead. I think approaching the project as a sequel is more ballsy and gains more of my respect than trying to restart the franchise.

Dekker may hate it -- but he MADE it. He doesn't get to wash his hands free of the blame.

i love robocop

I'd buy that for a dollar..................

Thank God! I WOULD buy that for a dollar.

So wait does this take place after RoboCop 3 (the last movie) or after RoboCop: Prime Directives (4 seperate movies, a "RoboCop 4 series" to some)?

NO NO NO NOT REMAKE!!! PLEASE LET MAKE ROBOCOP PART 4 not Remake i don,t want ruin Original.

Dr.Cannibal ... did you even read this news article?

I'd prefer Darren Aronofsky stick to unique films but this would be interesting.

Los Angeles??? If i remember correctly, wasnt Robocop deployed in "Old Detroit"... Perhaps it is a remake and they are giving it a pretend backstory.... :( its not a Robocop movie without Anne Lewis (Nancy Allen).

I agree with a couple of the other blogs.......ROBOCOP IS NOT HORROR !!!!! Why is this news on B-D ??? Because it has bloody violence ? So would we call The Godfather, Goodfella's, and Pulp Fiction Horror?? Great movies = YES. Horror = Duhhhhh, NO FOR FUCKS SAKE !!!

I'm guessing it takes place after the first movie, completely ignoring the first sequel, the second sequel, the cartoon, the live action tv series, the tv miniseries sequel and any comics.
