The remake of the 1987 sci-fi RoboCop has been cancelled.

The Wrestler director Darren Aronofsky was due to make the film.

The project was put on hold earlier this year due to financial problems at studio MGM.

According to Moviehole, the movie has now been scrapped altogether.

An insider told the website: "[RoboCop is] gone. Kaput. Cancelled. It was one of the first casualties. [Aronofsky] has lost interest anyway, I believe. [I] think we're all just going to have to be happy with the three RoboCop movies that are out there."

MGM was put up for sale in 2009 after falling into debt. The production of a number of films, including the next Bond instalment and The Hobbit, have been disrupted as a result.
