Darren Aronofsky IS The “Robo Cop” Director For Franchise Reboot

Damn, who would have thunk this woulda really happened? We swear we think our posit a few months ago about Darren Aronofsky purposely trying to take on slightly more mainstream projects is kinda spot-on. Good for him, we suppose. Maybe he can turn this into something viable. The project is evidently being fast-tracked for a 2010 release. The sci-fi story is apparently being taken into a more “noir” direction (as are all comic/sci-fi stories, and if “The Dark Knight” is any indication, this is a good thing).

We didn’t realize that Marisa Tomei and Evan Rachel Wood were also in “The Wrestler” alongside Mickey Rourke. [Variety]
