Aronofsky's The Wrestler gets Oscar buzz at film festival, clip drops on the net

Darren Aronofsky is one of my favorite directors, man. Dude has some insight into this technique that just kills me every time. With Requiem For A Dream, The Fountain & Pi, he has created himself a filmography like no other. With his next release, he's going in another direction deciding to make a bio-pic called The Wrestler, which premiered at the Venice Film Festival this week and has garnered some pretty good buzz. The clip up there showa some footage from the film (no official trailer has been released as it hasn't been picked up by a distributor yet) as well as interviews with the director & star of the film, Mickey Rourke. Hopefully we'll be watching this film later this year just in time for Oscar season. This comes via Slash Film

Darren Aronofsky confirmed for Robocop

Bad News: Yup, they're making another Robocop. Good News: Darren Aronofsky has been tapped to helm the production. (Robo Ass-to-Ass?) Aronofsky is a great choice to take on this franchise, I believe. If he can jump into this and take what Paul Verhoeven did with he first film (yeah, lets try to forget the two Frank Miller penned sequels....except for the bad ass robot from part 2....awesome!) we might have something cool in our hands here. Supposedly, the story takes place 20 years after the Robocop program was terminated in Detroit and now it a similar program is about to get started....in Los Angeles. Hmmmm....Check out The Hollywood Reporter here for all the details. So is this a good or bad thing that Robocop is coming back into our cinemas?
