I'm intrigued by the Robocop remake, but only because Darran Aronofsky is at the helm, and I've absolutely loved every film he's made so far.  Pi is like an Eraserhead that actually kinda makes sense; Requiem for a Dream is the best film about addiction I've ever seen; The Fountain is a heartbreaking metaphorical musing on how we deal with death; and The Wrestler is the best character study I've seen since Taxi Driver.  If anyone can "get" Robocop and do it properly (I enjoy the original, but it's a bit stale today), it's him.

Though I have to say, I'm quite happy his version of Watchmen never happened (although it's not like Snyder did the greatest job in the world).
