Aronofsky to Direct New Robocop

Off Topic

I’m not sure about him as director… he’s been very talented thus far in Pi, Requiem for a Dream, and The Fountain, but moving to an action/gore genre? :confused:

I only heard about this recently. They are talking about it being a reboot, rather than a sequel. I’m not sure how I feel about that. I loved the original Robocop. I don’t really think it needs a reboot. I wouldn’t mind Robocop 3 being erased from my mind though.

Darren Aronofsky�??s Robocop film will most likely be Rated R. All I can say is Thank God. I can only imagine that Aronofsky�??s Robocop won�??t be a smooth chrome cyborg, and would likely be grittier than the original. I imagine that all the movie studios, including MGM, will attempt to take a cue from The Dark Knight and allow for a darker and less than traditional take. It would have been a huge mistake to make Aronofsky conform to a PG-13 rating, especially considering the original film was so over the top gory (earning an X rating during its first MPAA submission).

Over the top gory?
Robocop ?

Er, ok.

Hope they draw some more inspiration from A.D. Police :wink:

It’s a little gory.

Maybe itwas because I was young at the time, but I never got into these movies. I thought Robocop was cheesy.

It WAS cheesy. That was part of its charm,

For some reason that’s like my favorite scene. Man they fucked that dude up.

I wish they actually showed the surgery that made him Robocop but that’s asking for WAY too much.

Play quake 4 to the point where you are made a strogg (or whatever those things are called), I think that pretty much resembles the “surgery” in question :wink:

Thanks for the vids, btw.
Seems more brutal than I remembered (watched it as a kid and they prolly cut some stuff out for german (read: pussified) television.

Those scenes were from the director’s cut. The movie originally was supposed to get an ‘X’ rating due to the violence, so they edited the movie to be a little less bloody for the theatrical release. So yeah, if you saw it in the theater as a kid (like I did), then you likely saw the edited version.
