Is Official!! Aronofsky Attached To Direct ROBOCOP -- And We Now Know Who’s Scripting!!

I am – Hercules!!


“Road To Perdition”/“The Wolf Man” screenwriter David Self is scripting the new “RoboCop” adventure slated to be directed by Darren Aronofsky (“The Fountain”).

According to The Hollywood Reporter, MGM hopes to buy that for somewhere in the neighborhood of $100 million.

The fourth chapter in the saga, due in 2010, is said to be set in Los Angeles 20 years subsequent to the suspension of the original RoboCop program in New Detroit.

Will Self do a better job than Frank Miller ("Sin City," "The Spirit"), who co-scripted both "RoboCop 2" and "RoboCop 3"?
