"The studio is in question, as everyone knows, with 'The Hobbit' and all that stuff, and 'Black Swan' was ready to go," he said. "It just became an easy decision."

"All that stuff with the 3-D. I don't know where that came from," he added. "Actually, I do know where that came from. I did one Q&A and someone asked me about 3-D and it was before I saw Cameron's film and I wasn't that into it at the time. Someone connected that to 'Robocop.' There's no truth to that story."

He also revealed that the idea of making a 3D feature was an intriguing idea, especially with James Cameron and Martin Scorsese taking on the challenge of the current trend.

"With the right project, I'm totally into 3-D," he said "Scorsese's working in 3-D [on ‘The Invention of Hugo Cabret’. I am very curious what that's going to be. Like everyone, I thought 'Avatar' was an incredible experience. I'm also interested in what someone like John Waters would do in 3-D. That's when it starts to become interesting, when you start to see it used in very interesting, different ways. There is a backlash at this point, and I think that's just because it's been overexposed, but that's just because people are rushing to bank in on it. There's no doubt that interesting things are going to be done in 3-D."

With MGM’s woes, will we ever see Robocop bring hi s own brand of justice to audiences? “We’ll see what happens down the line.” he added.

Do you want to see Robocop remade?
