Robocop Reboot on hold?

Even though I basically asked the Hollywood gods to not have anymore hiatus-bound projects come to light within these past 24 hours after The Hobbit and Bond 23, it looks like the prayers were not answered at all. Now the newest property to get thrown into the development purgatory of sorts is Robocop, a remake that has been talked about for some time and has pissed off quite a few people too. Mind you, this is all in the rumor mill, so at least we have that bit of comfort.

MGM wants to go and make Robocop, but rumor has it that Mary Parent, a chairman of MGM, wants the cyborg to be presented in another kind of format. Enter 3D, the format that James Cameron has thrust into the minds of Hollywood execs with the success of Avatar (Film School Rejects). Darren Aronofsky is attached to direct the project, but because of the new 3D element that could be put into the entire process apparently he’s none too happy. What will be the fate of this brand spanking new remake? Lord knows, but we will keep you up to date once we find out whether or not this is true or false.

I've been in love with film ever since I was a kid. The time, effort and passion that runs through a majority most film is something that's always attracted me to this field. What ended up happening with my big appetite for all things going on in the industry turned from random blurbs on Facebook to an unexpected but fun job. College student by day, movie news writer by early morning...or any time in the day and night when more news arrives. Working towards my bachelor's degree in film, what a surprise. I do other things too, like draw, write stories, maintain a social life and feed my pet dragon Lockheed. If you want to know more about me, hunt me down and just ask.
