Like many people we enjoyed the original RoboCop, except for one thing – the ending wasn’t depressing enough.

True, it was exciting enough when RoboCop shot that man out of the window, and touching when he referred to himself by his human name afterwards, but that’s hardly very depressing, is it? Are we the only ones who wanted to seeRoboCop , his arms septic and withered from years of crippling heroin addiction, putting on a soul-destroying lesbian dildo show for a gaggle of sleazy businessmen?

Perhaps we are. But we always get what we want, which is why we’re not completely surprised to hear that Darren Aronofsky – the director of Requiem For A Dream – is in talks to direct a new version of RoboCop. Seriously.
