Teaser Trailer For ROBODOC: THE CREATION OF ROBOCOP Docuseries Coming To SCREAMBOX This Month
SCREAMBOX has released a new trailer for it four-part docuseries RoboDoc: The Creation of RoboCop, and they’ve announced that it will premiere on the streaming service on August 29th.
The project has been in development for several years, so it’s great to see that it’s finally finished and that it will be getting released soon! I’m a huge fan of RoboCop and I love that we are getting an in-depth series that will explore the making of the cult-classic movie.
I remember being blown away by this movie when I first watched it with my friends when I was around 11 or 12 years old. It was easily the craziest and most violent film that I had seen at that point in my life and I loved every minute of it!
The series features interviews with “Peter Weller, Nancy Allen, Ronny Cox, Ray Wise, and Kurtwood Smith, director Paul Verhoeven, writers Edward Neumeier and Michael Miner, special effects legend Phil Tippett, and more, RoboDoc offers an in-depth look at the making and impact of the trailblazing 1987 dystopian action classic.” There’s no doubt that we’re going to get a lot of great insight!
Here are the details of each of the episodes of the series:
Episode one, “Destination Delta City,” streams on August 29. Orion Pictures assembles a magnificent cast and crew who, unbeknownst to them, have signed up for a turbulent and career-defining ride.
Episode two, “Verhoeven’s Mantra,” streams on September 5. Notoriously demanding mad-genius director Paul Verhoeven pushes the envelope and many people’s buttons with the unprecedented shooting conditions.
Episode three, “Blood, Sweat & Steel,” streams on September 12. The resilient cast and crew relive the golden era of hands-on, practical filmmaking in the 1980s.
Episode four, “Murphy & The Machine,” streams on September 19. A cinematic icon is unleashed to the world, creating an indelible legacy with lasting memories for those involved in its production.
RoboDoc: The Creation of RoboCop is co-directed by Chris Griffiths and Eastwood Allen and produced by Gary Smart. They previously developed Hollywood Dreams & Nightmares: The Robert Englund Story, Pennywise: The Story of IT, and You’re So Cool, Brewster: The Story of Fright Night.
Allen said in a statement: “We’ve crafted something together to incorporate visuals and sound in an effort to immerse viewers into the world of ’80s filmmaking and offer something completely unique to the ‘making of’ format.”
Griffiths added: “As a fan of RoboCop for the past 30 years, this project has been a labor of love for me, and I can’t wait to share this unique project with the fans, especially those who have stood by us all these years.”
“Part man, part machine, all cop, RoboCop burst onto the scene as the cinematic landscape began to shift and artificial intelligence was capturing the public’s imagination. The boundary-pushing film spawned an unlikely franchise that includes two sequels, an animated series, and a Hollywood remake, along with comic books, video games, toys, and merchandise galore.”
Enjoy the trailer!
