RoboDoc: The Creation Of RoboCop is now playing on VOD and streaming, with the first of its four-part retrospective docuseries available through Cinedigm’s Screambox platform. All four parts will be released weekly through September 19, with an official Blu-Ray release slated for October 17. A UK release remains in the works.
Directed by Christopher Griffiths and Eastwood Allen, RoboDoc: The Creation Of RoboCop is a crowdfunded project that launched nearly seven years ago, aimed at covering the phenomenon that began with the R-rated 1987 sci-fi action thriller. The extensive documentary is billed as “an immersive 4+ hour journey into the making of the seminal sci-fi movie” that will include over 60 cast and crew interviews, including the original star of the inaugural film and Irvin Kershner’s 1990 follow-up, Dr. Peter Weller.
Also starring Nancy Allen, Kurtwood Smith and Ronny Cox, RoboCop launched a box-office hit spawning a multi-media franchise including sequels, other ventures in animation, live-action television, video games and more, as well as a reboot in 2014.
