Some better news... rumors are floating around, like at chud and defamer, that this RoboCop movie we've been talking about might be a sequel instead of a remake.
I'm down with that.
A remake seems to always imply a bettering of the original, even if that improvement is (a la TCM, etc) just making it hip for the new generation.
There is no improvement of RoboCop. It is a perfect movie. The film school poseurs can stick Citizen Kane up their collective asses -- I'll take Alex J. Murphy, Clarence Boddicker and Dick Jones any day.
Whereas a sequel is kinda its own thing. RoboCop especially has survived multiple awful sequels and spin-offs. If Aronofsky's movie sucks, we can just throw it on the pile with the others. If it's good... then hey, we would then live in a world where a decent RoboCop sequel existed.
And I like the idea that it's decades after the original RoboCop program (brought to New Detroit by Security Concepts) has been shuttered. Could be fun, we'll see.
