Just as Warner Bros.' Batman franchise is flying high once again, MGM is hoping to reboot one of its action tentploles.
According to Variety, the studio is fast-tracking a new Robocop picture for a 2010 release, with Darren Aaronofsky (Requiem for a Dream, The Fountain) directing a script written by David Self. The original film, which debuted in 1987 and spawned two sequels, focused on a fatally wounded cop who returns to the force in cyborg form.
The studio is mum on the details, but some have suggested the new film will take a noir approach.
