Darren Aronofsky has started dropping hints about his Robocop reboot to reporters - and they're very, very obscure indeed. How obscure, you may ask? Well, about as obscure as you could get without resorting to speaking in tongues about minor pieces of production design. When reporters asked Aronofsky whether the new movie would be taking part in Detroit like earlier movies in the series, his answer was... not incredibly helpful, shall we say. More »

I couldn't even imagine what RoboCop would be though the eyes of Aronofsky, but I know it would be a whole new kind of dystopian Detroit. Please MGM put a pen in this mans hand and let him bring the silver cyborg to life. I'm sure it won't pan out with everything he's in right now, but one can dream. More »

If you saw Darren Aronofsky's frenetic, disturbing flick Pi, you know that its hero, a supergenius who invents a super algorithm, meets a rather terrible end. Though he wants to use his algorithm for the forces of good, he's pursued by evil corporate schemers who want to use it to predict the stock market. Eventually our hero has to destroy his work in a tragic, horrifying scene I won't spoil for you. But the New York Times is reporting today on a real-life inventor of super algorithms whose entanglement with the financial industry did not end tragically. In fact, billionaire David E. Shaw used the cash he gained from developing computer-based strategies for Wall Street trading to found a company whose new mega-computer places them on the cusp of making tremendous medical discoveries about proteins (pictured).
