How's a Darren Aronofsky-Directed ROBOCOP Sequel Sound?

Beaks here... If Bloody-Disgusting is correct, and Darren Aronofsky's "rebuild" of ROBOCOP is actually a sequel set twenty years "after the termination of the Robocop program", then forget all that whinging over the sacredness of Paul Verhoeven's original. If ROBOCOP 3 couldn't tarnish that fucker, nothin' can. Though it's a little disappointing that they've (allegedly) opted to move the series from Detroit to Los Angeles (especially when it'd be incredibly affordable to shoot in the actual confines of the Motor City nowadays), I'm cool with anything that allows Aronofsky to put his own stamp on the established mythology of the character (and let's pretend that this "established mythology" begins and ends with the first movie, okay?). According to Bloody Disgusting, talks between MGM and the director are fairly advanced. Perhaps Sony will have an announcement ready for their Saturday panel at Comic Con.
