In The Future, We Won't Recognize Detroit, Says New Robocop Director
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 »

The Awesome Artificial Face Of Future Crimefighting
The future of law enforcement is going to be much less Judge Dredd and much more Robocop, according to one British professor who claims that we are less than 50 years away from a society policed by robots and controlled by those with their fingers on the robots' on and off switch. More »
RoboCop Will Be Filled With Lovely R-Rated Violence
RoboCop producer Mike Medavoy explained that we should get our fill of blood in the new Robo movie, saying “It’s likely to be an R [rated movie], unless the director cuts back on some of it.” Excellent — bring on the merciless Robo bloodshed! Now if only we could persuade director Darren Aronofsky away from all the 3-D chatter that's been surrounding the new movie. [MTV]

Will The New RoboCop Deny Existence Of Past Robo Sequels?
The new RoboCop movie won't just be a remake of the original Detroit cyborg police saga. Instead, it'll be a sequel. But how will a new RoboCop follow-up deal with the tangled mess of sequels, TV shows and TV movies that followed the first film? Click through for details. More »
Biggest Scifi Tease Ever: Aronofsky Linked To RoboCop Remake
The Hollywood Reporter claims that director Darren Aronofsky has visited MGM to discuss the remake of RoboCop. You know his work from the gorgeous fantasy flick The Fountain and gritty Requiem For A Dream. 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.

Miles Teves, Robot/Monster Sculptor
Why he rules: Miles Teves got his start working as a concept illustrator with Rob Bottin Productions, helping to design the unique look of Paul Weller's cyborg body in RoboCop. Since then, he's done everything from masks to makeup to concept design to storyboarding. A sculptor since he made dinosaurs as a child, Teves has been credited as "sculptor" for a few movies, including Iron Man, King Kong and Bicentennial Man. He helped design the visual effects for the Men In Black films and Mission To Mars, and helped design some of MIB's distinctive-looking aliens. And he helped to storyboard Terminator 3 (see below for a few frames, and see his site for way more.) More »

Every day somebody releases a new spam solution, but just as often you hear dire predictions about how spam loads are growing exponentially. How will future generations deal with spam floods in 2030? Though some pundits claim email is becoming obsolete, it's unlikely that most people are going to give up on what is still one of the easiest ways to move data around the net. Plus, spam transcended email a long time ago: ads for viagra and scammy mortgages lurk in pretty much any web service you can name. With spam bots getting smarter and smarter, you'll have to turn to science fiction for solutions. Here are five strategies for dealing with spam of the future. More »

RoboCop To Bust Your Criminal Behind In 3-D
The RoboCop remake could bring Detroit's cyborg police brutality right to the tip of your nose in 3-D, according to hints from MGM chairperson Mary Parent. Why is this the most excellent awesomeness? Because the remake is going to be ridiculous and 3-D will only heighten the whole experience when RoboCop throws bad guys at your face. We only hope they let original RoboCop scribe Ed Neumeier direct, since he's already directing Starship Troopers: Marauder. RoboCop 3-D game pic from RoboCopArchive.[Indie Wire]
