Good on Aronofsky. And fuck Mary Parent.

I agree with let Aronofsky do his movie the way he wants to do it. I wouldn't mind seeing Robocop in 3D though, as long as its subtle and not just popping out at you. I would hate to see a cg robocop though. that would just be wrong.

Making something in 3D, CGI or Digital doesn't mean it isn't art. Anyone who thinks it isn't is a moron. And seriously if he's making a ROBOCOP movie and thinks it is art then he has no idea what he's talking about. Just as bad as spielberg adding film noise to dvd releases so it doesn't look clean. Stupid.

#3, Damn straight. It's Robocop ffs. It doesn't need to be gritty and gounrded like The Wrestler or Requiem for a Dream, it's an action movie and won't benefit from an "organic" focus if that comes at the cost of digital effects. There's no reason that a movie that takes advantage of the newest technology can't also contain the elements he wants - all this says to me is that he's a technophobe and doesn't understand the latest film technologies enough to use them to advantage like Jackson, Cameron et al. 3D and digital film isn't a gimmick and it's here to stay so get used to it guys. Adapt or let the studios find someone else that _isn't_ scared of the latest tech.

YES, let Aronofsky make his flick, HIS WAY!!! Also, let Raimi make his "Spider-Man" flick his way, regardless of what the the studio suits and HATERS say! The haters will bitch, regardless!!!!!

Was I the only one who was hoping for some kind of Arrested Development movie tie-in after reading that headline? No one else? Just me? Okay.

why cant the studios just let directors make good movies instead of making stupid demands that make a movie suck. it happened with xmen and spiderman.

#10 I was thinking the same think oww well But in this matter i just dont get it why didnt they sad that in the beggining when they where talking to him to direct the movie? its just plain stupid.

I knew it was too good to be true!!! I hope when Aronofsky got that call he was like, "No" and they were like "What do you mean no?" and he was just like "I mean NO" and then there was a long, awkward silence and then Aronofsky quietly whispered "...your move, creep."

Let Aronofsky make his version of RoboCop! Back off Mary Parent, you have no idea how great this movie is going to be, just let him make his own unique version.

What's wrong with Joe Johnston? I don't understand that part at the end. I didn't know who he was, but after looking him up, I'd say he has a pretty good lineup of films (Honey I Shrunk the Kids, October Sky, Hidalgo, etc.)

Good for Aronofsky! Glad he's not kissing studio ass to get a movie done. I dont think 3D is here to stay, sooner or later it will run its course. I really dont think they should even bother with a remake.

#3 and #5 Are you serious? I think Aronofsky makes total sense as a director for this project. A realistic vision of the future where things are made up of materials is a lot more appealing and honest than some bullshit CGI. Do we really need another Michael Bay-esque film in the world? Nope, don't think so.

Darren Aronofsky is my hero for standing up to those wretched controlling studios

no matter what happens its still going to be a crapy remake doesn't matter the directer or their vision, unless it was cronenberg then i wouldnt complail cause what really made the original was the truck load of violence, peter weller, and that freaking ED-209

so its going to be a remake not the 4th robocop? hmmmm..... i wonder if it will be good?

#3 - Do you seriously think 3D is an art form in film? You seriously do not understand film. 3D adds NOTHING to the experience and is nothing more than a poor visual enhancement. 3D has no business being in film. If you're 'Pro-3D in films' then YOU are the moron. And more on topic, what is the point of remaking Robocop? Do people even want it? The original is a classic. Move on.

Ego's - what a shame,this could be great.

@21 Are you kidding me? 3D adds nothing to the experience? Have you seen Avatar? Furthermore, Quote from the article: But, as you know, Darren Aronofsky is a real artist ... he wants to do everything as real [or organic] as possible just like The Fountain." We see the world in 3D. Wouldn't using it make the film more realistic? Just my oppinion tho

You do what Aronofsky wants. No question. No debate.
