Found in: Blogs, Ctrl-VDarren Aronofsky actually adapting Robocop?!
After the trio of prestige art films (Pi, Requiem for a Dream, The Fountain), most people thought they had Darren Aronofsky pegged. Then this year he decided to make a film called The Wrestler, and cast seemingly washed-up actor Mickey Rourke in the title role. The film earned rave reviews at last week's Toronto International Film Festival, and won the top award at the Venice Film Festival. But turns out that was just the beginning of the surprises Aronofosky has in store for us. According to reports, Aronofsky has finished up his script for an original version of Robocop.

Found in: Movies, NewsToronto International Film Festival 2008
The Toronto International Film Festival, which wrapped up its 10-day run this past weekend, is arguably the most important film festival in North America. But to the average moviegoer it's not as well known as Sundance, in part because TIFF samples the most promising new film from around the world while Sundance emphasizes home-grown movies, for better or worse. But TIFF showcases its share of English-language films, too -- often with star-studded red-carpet premieres -- and this year some of the festival's best movies were among them:Rachel Getting MarriedI'll have to admit that the new film from Jonathan Demme (Silence... read more

While it's exciting to hear what films are premiering at Cannes and Venice, for most of us, these festivals are wildly out of reach. Even the North American festivals at Toronto and Sundance can be a pain to get to and are only really an option for hardcore cineastes. This makes the New York Film Festival the only event that most of us can actually take a look at, and its line-up one of the more important ones, at least to those of us living in the Northeast.... read more
Found in: Movies, NewsRobocop to be reinvented by Darren Aronofsky
For the past several weeks, it's been floating around that Darren Aronofsky would be taking over Robocop and restarting the franchise. Frankly, we were too skeptical about the whole thing to report on it, since the whole thing sounded more like rumor than fact. But as strange as it sounds, it is indeed true. With David Self (Road to Perdition) writing the screenplay, the new Robocop movie is being fast-tracked for release in 2010.... read more
Found in: Movies, NewsDarren Aronofsky developing paranormal Towers for TV
While the status of Darren Aronofsky's most recent throwdown-oriented projects The Wrestler and The Fighter remain in various degrees of production, the filmmaker is in the midst of developing a new drama entitled Riverview Towers. AMC hired Aronofsky (Pi, Requiem for a Dream) for the psychological thriller, which focuses on a family that moves into an apartment complex with paranormal activity. We can only speculate how the plots will thicken. All Poltergeist, all the time? Like an apparition-riddled version of Funny Games? The pilot's being written by John J. McLaughlin--who was also responsible for Aronofsky's up-and-coming Black Swan. Thanks to... read more
