Looks like Darren Aronofsky’s “Robocop” remake may be stuck in OCP storage for the time being. He’s already working on the supernatural thriller “Black Swan” with Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis, and according to Variety, he’s eyeing a heist flick.

Movie: The Wrestler * Official Site * Trailer

It tells the story of Jamal Malik (Dev Patel), an 18-year-old orphan from the slums of Mumbai, India, who’s a contestant on India’s “Who Wants to be a Millionaire?” He’s just one question away from winning a staggering 20 million rupees, but when the show breaks for the night, the cops arrest him on suspicion of cheating; how could a street kid know so much?
Desperate to …read more
