The Streets - Darren Aronofsky Confirmed To Direct Robocop Remake


Robocop is to return to the streets with a reboot directed by Darren Aronofsky, it has been confirmed.

MGM Studios has revealed that longstanding rumours that Aronofsky, helmer of The Fountain and Requiem for a Dream, was to develop a 21st century film about the human-machine hybrid are true.

The new movie, the first in the franchise since 1993, is to be written by Road To Perdition writer David Self while Aronofsky will shoot the film in line for a 2010 release, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

Originally starring Peter Weller, Paul Verhoeven's 1987 actioner told of a Detroit police officer who is mortally wounded only to return to his beat as a tough cyborg, haunted by painful memories.

Two sequels were released, in 1990 and 1993, while the franchise has proved popular in the DVD market, with some 4.1 million copies sold.

While no details have been confirmed about the plot of Aronofsky's film, it is suggested that this will be a "new instalment" in the Robocop series, rather than a remake.

The Brooklyn-born director, engaged to English actress Rachel Weisz, is currently concluding production on The Wrestler, a drama starring Mickey Rourke, Marisa Tomei and Evan Rachel Wood.

Self, meanwhile, scripted Thirteen Days and the upcoming Wolf Man film while his God of War script is likely to be directed by Brett Ratner.

MGM is also reportedly considering remakes of Death Wish, Poltergeist, Red Dawn and Fame.

Tvt Records Sells For 6 Million


LATEST: New York-based music label TVT Records has been sold to digital music company The Orchard for $6 million (GBP3 million).

TVT Records - home to artists including the Ying Yang Twins, The Polyphonic Spree, Pitbull and Lil' Jon - sparked fears of a complete closure after the label axed staff and applied for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in February (08).

The independent label succumbed to its financial difficulties and has now been sold off for $6.05 million (GBP3.025 million) to worldwide music distributor The Orchard in a deal which expected to close next month (03Jul08).

Under the terms of the purchase, The Orchard will take control of TVT's catalogue and artist contracts.

The Orchard bosses have denied claims they are already on the look out to sign new artists, fuelling reports the firm will focus instead on looking after the disgruntled musicians already on the roster.

Rapper Pitbull accused TVT bosses of not doing enough to promote his album The Boatlift earlier this year (08) - and urged his fans not to purchase the LP.

The company was founded by Steve Gottlieb, who launched the label out of his New York City apartment in 1985. At its height, TVT was considered one of the top independent record labels in the United States.

Belfast's Vital Festival Cancelled Because Of 'Festival Saturation'

Ben Affleck becoming a TV reporter

Actor and director Ben Affleck will have a very unusual role on US television next week.
Reuters reports that Affleck has travelled to eastern Congo to report for the ABC news programme 'Nightline'.
Writing on the ABC website, Affleck said that he wanted to draw attention to the starvation, violence and disease people face there.
He said: "It makes sense to be sceptical about celebrity activism. There is always the suspicion that involvement with a cause may be doing more good for the spokesman than he or she is doing for the cause."
But the star said he hoped viewers could separate his involvement from "what is unimpeachably important about this segment: the plight of eastern Congo".
Affleck approached the show about doing the report.
