Hollywood is threatening my borders...

Word is that 2010 will see the release of a Robocop remake, helmed by Darren Aronofsky (of Requiem for a Dream and The Fountain).

This is sacred ground they're treading on. Paul Verhoeven's Robocop has got to be one of my all time favorites. But at least they've got a quality director on the project of "reimagining" the film. From MTV movie news:

Their new "Robocop" is a reboot along the lines of Batman Begins.

"None of [the earlier films are] going to be canonical, as a matter of fact," Fischer revealed. "I wouldn't say it's a direct sequel."

My guess, with Aronofsky on board, is that it will be a lot darker than the 1987 film, especially since they're already jumping for the Batman Begins/The Dark Knight comparisons (look out for an action noir renaissance people!).

In any case, the new film won't be able to touch the hilarious satire of the first film. Check out one of its genius mock commercials:

So, really, this remake doesn't scare me. What is else there to say... but, "Bitches leave." Oh Clarence Boddicker, you rapscallion.
