DISQUS

Filmonic: Darren Aronofsky Talks Robocop

  • Key · 1 year ago
    Good luck with that. I loved Robocop as a kid, but it doesn't usually hold up to viewing now. Here's hoping they can give the movie the substance it seemed to have when I was too young to know better.

    Have to agree, Robocop 1 was great, 2 was even better, 3 was only so-so; but after watching the worst movie ever, The Fountain, not too sure regarding this new Robocop.
    Can you imagine Mr. Aronofsky doing the same to the franchise?
    Robocop in a space bubble with some dumb tree? Watching the end of the fim first then having the film end with the beginning?
    I really was looking forward to The Fountain. What a piece of disjointed garbage that was. Way too abstract except for probably coke addicts.

    haha, i completely understand why someone might not like the fountain....but its still a film, and your response is still completely ignorant. coke addicts, give me a break dude...

    You really think that The Fountain was "too abstract"?

    The don't watch anything of David Lynch or Alejandro Jodorowsky.

    It will make your brain come out of your eyes...


    I'm really looking forward to this, but I'm not so sure that the way Aronofsky directs fits much in the Robocop's series. But only destiny and final work would tell that

    I have to disagree with Larry - having just finished watching The Fountain it had a profound effect on me, and inspired me in a way that I have a hard time describing - if only to say that my marriage going forward will be strengthened by the inspiration I took from the film to express certain feelings to her that had been locked away within my heart for a long time.

    If this director can infuse such raw passion into another sci fi film, such as Robocop (which I too grew up loving) I wholeheartedly look forward to seeing it in the theater just as soon as it comes out.

    This is amazing! I can not wait to see what he will do with this film. I am a big fan of all of his movies.

    well I haven't seen the Fountain but by the brief discussion started here, I want to now for sure. And I'll check out Robocop I'm sure.

    robo cop should be a sequil but knowing about the epic fail that was robo cop 3....it should be a remake...to get people to go fuck yeah....it will never be as classic cult as robo 1, hell boddicker was the shit of the most evil villans....lets pray this is rated R and the baddest robo cop ever!
