Film School Rejects: Darren Aronofsky Still Talking RoboCop, MGM Still Serious About Red Dawn

    Much like Batman, the first Robocop was pretty cool ... and sequels ran it into the ground.

    I can see a RoboCop reboot. As for Red Dawn... I haven't had the opportunity of watching the original, so I can't say anything really.

    I'm glad they've found an actual *talented* director to head this remake/reboot, though.

    Robocop's got my vote for the best relaunch because taking a 9-11 angle on Red Dawn completely takes away from the heart of the concept of the original which was the fact that it was based on Russia being the victors of the Cold War instead of America-how does that tie into Al-Queda????? Anyway, screw that movie in the eye-I'm all about seeing a futuristic Detroit reimagined & RoboCop relaunched because as Bill Brasky says above, Batman (Michael Keaton) was SUPERB but the other movies sucked, (although I liked Batman Forever because of Jim Carrey's "Riddler"), so hopefully a "Batman Begins"-esque relaunch could help put the cool back in RoboCop!

    I've gotta say ixnay to both remakes above.
    Robocop will be buried in bad CGI... part of the original's appeal was the mix of practical effects and claymation. And can Aronofsky's heavy-handed style mimic the subtle satire of Herr Verhoeven?
    And who'll be the enemy in a post-9/11 Red Dawn? Should be Muslims, but the filmmakers will go the pc route and have Russians or Canadians invading instead. Although if C. Thomas Howell returns to play one of the invading Canucks then I'm in.
