· The rumors are true! Darren Aronofsky will write and direct a sequel to RoboCop for MGM, with both parties hoping they can score a piece of this guy-in-a-stupid-costume-noir mania currently gripping the planet. [Variety]
· A third Harold & Kumar movie is coming. Details are scarce, but word has it they will partake of the herb and refer to their skin colours a lot, and that Neil Patrick Harris will make a cameo. [Variety]
· The fate of SAG leadership hangs in the balance, with splintered factions Membership First and Unite for Strength vying not just for control, but also for Most Nerdy Name That Sounds Like A Star Trek RPG Subtitle. [Variety]
· Warner Bros. and Leonardo DiCaprio's production company are "quietly putting out word" that they'd like to make a feature version of The Twilight Zone. But wait! There's a twist ending to this item: Everyone has a pig snout! Beauty truly is in the eye of the beholder. [THR]
· Comic-Con was overrun by "rabid teenage fangirls" at the Twilight panel, who rushed the stage, tore the panel apart limb from limb, and feasted on their flesh. That's the last time we let girls into Comic-Con! [THR]
· MTV is developing a show based on Elizabeth Berkley's teen girl advice site AskElizabeth.com. This strikes us as a terrible idea, but we guess someone has to undo all the damage wrought by The Hills. Might as well be Nomi Malone. [THR]

@Huge Tracts of Land: Since it's the year that indie film died and I've once and for all buried any higher aspirations in the cold earth, I'll just say: Yes. Any of those will do nicely.

I love me some Harold and Kumar but where else can they go that's super stoner-y? Harold and Kumar Attend Reggae Night at the Hollywood Bowl? Harold and Kumar Stand in 7-11 for 12 Minutes Staring at Chips?

The only I was dreading more than a Robocop remake is a Robocop sequel.

Harold and Kumar meet Robocop? It will be the Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein for Generations X/Y.

@MCU: How about if Harold and Kumar's next movie was directed by Michael Haneke? (shudder!)

I'll admit, when I first heard news of a Robocop remake, I went into a complete nerd rage. Once I found out Aronofsky was attached, it turned into a raging nerdgasm.

It seems a little too soon to remake Robocop. I had just gone out and bought all of them and the first one's effects still look good.
