The Return of Robocop
Filed under: Film Flickers
Let's add another movie to the list of remakes. Can we stop this, please????
MGM is now ready to add a new RoboCop movie to its franchise, 21 years after the first film was released.
The film is said to debut sometime in 2010 and will be directed by Darren Aronofsky.
The storyline has yet to be revealed but insiders say "it will take the sci-fi vigilante classic in more of a noir direction."
The current films have sold over 4.1 million DVDs and have a strong following in Japan, U.K., and Germany.
Will U go watch?

lame
llkdf 4th?
1st!!!!
I'd never pay to watch this.
3rd
My god it wouldn't be that difficult to come up with an original idea. I'm so sick of all of these franchise revivals… This has FLOP written all over it.
Even stupid dumbface Robocop knows that
BUSH SUCKS!
IMPEACH!
IMPEACH!
Send our soldiers home to watch stupid movies like this one & send Bush to Iraq… today!
Bush is a warmongering selfish bastard.
That is all. Thank you.
Only because it's Darren Aronofsky.
18th!!!
eh.
I prefer originals….
depending on who does the remake
eeww. omg im 10thh!!! yayyy
yah…im the girliest girl and still get a kick out of my collectors edition Robocop dvd & my Marc Jacobs bag!lol…wuv perez
Get up to date please, this has been announced for awhile. I believe Mr Aronofsky just signed thereby confirming its green light. It's also not a remake but a sequel taking up 20 years later during which the Robocop program has been mothballed.
I LOVE YOU PEREZ, YOUR MY FUCKING HERO
PLEASE GOD CAST GLENN CLOSE AZ THE LEAD ROLL!!!! And Hell yeah I'ma go see that mess! Gimmie some Nuke!
I found the 2nd Robocop movie particularly fierce.
IT will NEver Stop Fat Body because there are never going to be any new ideas!!
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Thiz mezzage iz to
Rob Zombie…..U know how
U went backwardz with Halloween…..
GO BACKWARDZ WITH ”DEVIL REJECTZ”
I WANT TO SEE HOW IT ALL GOT STARTED….
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
I CAN PLAY SHERRIZ PART AZ A YOUNGER GIRL
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
What's with all the remakes? Aren't the orignals enough?
I WOULD DEFENITLY GO WATH THIS MOVIE …ITS GONNA BE A BIG MOVIE THEY JUST NEED TO CAST A BIG MONEY ACTOR…LIKE BRAD PITT OR SOMETHIN…PEACE
I'm not too into sci-fi movies, but I might borrow it from someone when it comes out on dvd. Who's going to play Mr. Robocop?
Will the police in the future still drive old Ford Tauruses? I want to know.
If Darren Aronofsky - the director of Requiem for a Dream - is directing, I'll definitely go see it.
Aronofsky? Hell yeah! I couldn't care less about Robocop, but if Aronofsky is doing it, I will definitely watch it at one point.
A. It's not a remake, it's a sequel that takes place 20 years after the "Robocop" program was shut down.
B. The guy who directed Pi, The Fountain and Requiem for a Dream is directing, so that's very promising.
C. I agree that all the remakes are getting silly, but this one hardly applies. Especially after the total shit that Robocop 2 was, I'd say the classic first one deserves a decent sequel.
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
I think they zhould
remake alot of moviez
or go backwardz 2 the beginning
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
I wish that they would do an anmie style film based on Frank Miller's Prime Directives comic book series that is the REAL screenplay and story for Robocop 2 that was supost to have be used and made.
I really hate Darren Aronofsky - he's married to Rachel Weisz, whom I looove.
His movies are convoluted hot messes.
BRING IT ARONOFSKY!! I'm STOKED~
of course i will go see this movie! the director is brilliant - pi, requiem for a dream, fountain… i'm effin thrilled for this movie! the first one is so out of date, it all looks so cheesy now.
This sounds really lame, I don't think I'd watch it unless they got a really exciting cast and it strayed far from the original.
Aronofsky is a very good director (Pi and Requiem For A Dream)…if he has a hand in the writing, then yeah, i'd definitely check it out.
THE ONLY I WILL WATCH THIS FILM IS IF CHRISTIAN BALE IS THE STAR..OTHER THAN THAT ITS GONNA BE LAME :S
oh hellz nah
I thought 'Iron Man' WAS a remake of Robocop?
Re: yourazzzuckzbuttermilk – THATS A FUCKING WICKED IDEA YOU FUCKING WEIRDO!
Re: joee6 – DUMB ASS!
I enjoy Aronofsky's work very much… but really??
I love how you put Showgirls and Robocop right after eachother, since both movies wer directed by the same guy: Dutch director Paul Verhoeven (who also did Totall Recall, Basic Instinct, Starship Troopers and Hollow Man).
The new Robocop film is not a remake, it is a sequel. Darren has not even seen the project. Gossip and far from the mark!
I so hope they keep PETER WELLER as Robocop. He was fantasic in the role. 20 years later = bad ass Dirty Harry Robocop! That is what I want to see.
With the new incentives package in Michigan, I hope they will at least film the movie in Detroit this time. I think this film would be much better if for one it was written by Frank Miller and was more of continuation of the series that forgets the craptastic 3rd film.

RoboCop is a GREAT movie and is pretty much an homage/tribute to all the old comics Marvel did in the 60s (including Iron Man). One just needs to RECOGNIZE that Jon Favreau's 'Iron Man', which I also think is a great film, has (let's just call them) SIMILIARTIES to RoboCop. Least of which is the last line of dialouge of the film in both movies.
We can never get enough Robo Cop… This will be the best sequel.
Robocop is my kind of man!
The real pimps with the big bucks know that there's no talent in Hollyweird so they will continue to fund these shiddy recreations. Reality shows are also guilty of this trend. Like being a drug dealer, sell this crap and make millions! Our society and publicists have make weak whack ass people so called "stars" for being drunks, whores, designers and for doing nothing.
Jesus H Christ, I am fucking sick of this shit. The only way to teach Hollywood is to not go to these remakes. Please stop bastardizing my childhood!
Heck yeah I'm going to watch this. Robocop was a great movie and now with Aronofsky at the helm this should be highly entertaining!! Oh and to all you negative fuckers out there talking crap about sequels yeah many times there not as the original but they are still entertaining and they make money. And you folks who talk crap are probobly going to be the first in line to see it!!LOL
Vigilante classic? Last time I checked it was Robo COP.
yes i'll go, i love ROBOTS!!!!!! loooool !!!!
They should remake the movie Roots & call it
"How to Make $ Off Slaves".
This country can suck it.
Get some
Dumb
It's a sequel not a remake and it's directed by Darren Aranofsky one of the most visionary directors around.
A waste of time, imo. Bleh.
no.
not ever.
Aronofsky is a good filmmaker, it has a chance to be good. As long as its not as convoluted as The Fountain.
For those unfamiliar Darren Aronofsky is a pretty slick filmmaker(Requiem for a Dream). With the technological advances in special effects (and filmmaking in general) and Aronofsky's stylistic prowess(You know there's going to be a heavy-handed love story going on) I have zero doubt it's going to be anything less than solid but truthfully was there really any need to remake Paul Verhoeven's magnum opus?
Robocop is a top…
Not a bottom.
Fag
Yawn..
I liked Robocop.
I like RoboCop!
IMPEACH BUSH
i will go see the new robo cop movie because i like old robo cops.
they were really corny and fun to laugh at, and in one of the movies the dad from That 70's Show was the 'evil villian.'
Isn't that a selling point right there?
darren is not directing this film. period.
darren. is. not. directing. this. sequel.
fuck yes, robocop is a monster. cant wait
You mean ANGELINA JOLIE isn't in it? Surprised.
I totally agree with you that all these remakes have to stop. It really is getting old. I would also like to point out that Darren Aronofsky is a great directer. Pi, Reqium for a Dream and The Fountain were all great films. I hate to see someone as talented as Aronofsky hop on the remake/mainstream bandwagon. You never know, with him directing it just might work.
i'll buy that for a dollar
Your kidding…has HollyWood stooped so the point ot "remakehollywood" ….ICK!
American cinema caters well to American audiences. Dumbed down movies for a dumbed down society.
kelly you dumbass. it's supposed to be satire, too smart for you. and Clarence Bodikker is one of the most iconic villains there is. Bitches Leave.
Another remake? *yawn*
I am really curious as to if an of you know who Darren Aronofsy is?
This movie has high chances of actually be good because of it.
You guys are crazy, he will kick the shit out of robocop with his directing it… it'll be totally out of the mainstream and told as a "dark" story it kinda is.
We should be kissing the stars at how lucky we are to have Aronofsky direct it and not fucking James Cameron
