MGM studios has just greenlighted to reboot the “Robocop” franchise. Rumours been going strong for a long while that this was a “Robocop” remake. Film maker Darren Aronofsky confirmed it wasn’t a remake, it is actually another sequel, more rumours started that it’s “Robocop 4”.

Turns out that wasn’t true either. The Robocop films are starting over again just like the Batman and James Bond movies are starting over again. Aronofsky has just signed on to direct the reboot of “Robocop”, remember there is a difference between “remake” and “reboot”.

Film makers are keeping the synopsis under wraps but they are taking the new franchise into a different direction. MGM aims for a 2010 release of the first “Robocop” film.

Hope they pick a good actor for Robocop. I still say it should be Peter Weller! Bring him on!
