MGM is ready to reboot its "RoboCop" franchise.
Darren Aronofsky has signed on to direct and David Self is penning a new installment about the hero whose tagline is "part man, part machine and all cop."

"RoboCop," which is being fast-tracked for a 2010 release, becomes the first potential tentpole to come together since Mary Parent took the reins of MGM in March. Aronofsky's involvement has been one of the worst kept secrets, with rumors rampant in the blogosphere that "The Fountain" helmer was eyeing the project.

MGM is keeping the logline under wraps, but insiders say it will take the sci-fi vigilante classic in more of a noir direction.

I wonder if they will use the same Robocop suit. Probably not.

I think we need Peter Weller to return... if not Weller then the fellow from Burn Notice would do just fine.

Figures! I was thinking Gary Coleman would be a good choice for the role.
