Finally, the reason why Darren Aronofsky's people weren't returning my calls regarding the Face Face movie -- he's directing a new Robocop film.
You read that right, folks. The director behind such films as Requiem for a Dream, Pi, and The Fountain will be bringing the "part man, part machine, all cop" back to the big screen some time in 2010. I guess he wanted to challenge himself.

Send your videogame-related news and tips to tips@destructoid.com ... because this whole Aronofsky directing a new Robocop thing has us frazzled. Oh, and did we mention that David Self (Road to Perdition) is writing this film? What planet do we live on?

Besides, the biggest news of the day is that Brett Ratner might direct the God of War movie after all! I mean seriously, it's going to be insane when Kratos gets his own edgy minority partner-in-crime who insults him with hip, urban lingo!!!!
I can't wait for the DLC ridiculousness.
Otherwise, I'm looking forward to see what Aronofsky comes up with. Christopher Nolan has not disappointed us. Jon Favreau has not disappointed us, either. Plus with Aronofsky on board, it increases the chance that the film will be RATED 'R' like it should be.
I can understand the anger from the Bungie-guy though!
haha, Brett Ratner is lame.
