I’m shocked he’s doing this. This will be interesting if he can get if off the ground. I guess after the fountain he’s looking for hits. Kind of like Spike Lee…

I must say i am very relieved to hear that this is a sequel with Aronofsky on board. I love everything the man has done yet! As for David Self,I have only seen Road to Perdition, but i liked what i saw. I think the writing should be great. Will they retain the black as oil humor, the (as relevant now as it was then)corporate satire, and the relentless violence? I certainly hope so…

Brett Ratner is not as horrible as everyone makes him out to be. Sure, he hasn’t made a movie that hasn’t sucked in over six years, and sure, he has ruined both the Rush Hour and and X-Men franchises… Where was i going with this again? oh yeah. He has shown a lot of skill behind the camera with Red Dragon. (I liked it) At least that’s something to go off on.

The sequel thing is much more acceptable. I’m glad I don’t have to see the origin story all over again (which is so pointless [seven words: guy gets injured and turned into cyborg]). It has a lot of places it could go…it could be great with a guy like Aronofsky on board. It’ll be cool to see Robocop dealt with now that we know the future will have internet.

I have never seen a Darren Aronofsky film, but getting David Self on board is amazing news. I loved Thirteen Days and loved Road to Perdition even more. And I love RoboCop. I don’t think these guys will make a bad movie, and if they make a good RoboCop sequel, everybody wins.

I mean a sequel is completely allowed. It’s the remakes that seem stupid. I wonder if it will be called RoboCop 4, or maybe they’ll go with the new Stallone trend and call it Alex Murphy.
