Production has stoped on the RoboCop remake.
SFX have reported that this is because of artistic differences between director Darren Aronofsky and studio MGM.
A sources has said "I've spoken with Phoenix Pictures [and] asked them about the status of RoboCop... they told me that the project is on hold. The problem is that Mary Parent, Chairperson of MGM, wants a 3D movie for the new RoboCop, but as you know, Darren Aronofsky is a real artist and he's not interested in Gimmicks like, 3D, CGI, filming digital - he wants to do everything as real (organic) as possible just like The Fountain."
I for one think Aronofsky should stick to his guns on this, the charm of the original was in the writing /direction and gritty FX,adding 3D just sounds like a cash cow and is not what this unwanted remake needs to win over the public
What do you think?? Should Directive ONE be "put on glasses now" ?
Teabag out :P
