I am going to call this the Christopher Nolan syndrome. After what he did for the Batman franchise hopefully more studios will be hiring capable directors to handle their tent pole projects. Anyway, Darren Aronofsky (who was once going to adapt Batman: Year One) has signed on to direct and David Self is penning a new installment of Robocop.

The Studiois keeping the story under wraps, but rumors say it will take the sci-fi vigilante classic in more of a noir direction. This being Aronofsky, the film will probably more tech-punk than noir with plenty of quick cuts and an awesome Clint Mansell score (which will then be used for every trailer made after, the same way his music for Requiem for a Dream and The Fountain basically have been).
