Darren Aronofsky's ROBOCOP is actually a sequel?

by Matt Holmes

The suddenly mainstream Darren Aronofsky may infact be looking to build his newly assigned task of resurrecting the Robocop franchise as a in continuity sequel, rather than a remake.

Bloody Disgusting have heard that the movie will be set twenty years after the termination of the Robocop program. The series is also being moved from Detroit to Los Angeles and that talks between Phoenix Pictures and MGM are at an advanced stage. Again, this Aronofsky continues to fascinate me. A social commentary and artistic Robocop movie would be something to behold indeed. Or will it be a straight edged flick, can he even do a straight forward movie? But I know one thing. Give me a twenty years later set sequel anyday over a Paul W.S. Anderson adaptation of Robocop vs. Judge Dredd or something along those lines.
