Director Christopher Griffiths has already brought us two rather amazing documentaries in the forms of Leviathan: The Story of Hellraiser and Hellbound: Hellraiser II and You’re so cool, Brewster! The Story of Fright Night. Both of these documentaries have become fan favorites, offering deep insights into their respective topics with interviews, guest appearances, and loads of research. And now Griffiths, along with Dead Mouse Productions Ltd and Cult Screenings UK Ltd, are turning to Paul Verhoeven’s 1987 sci-fi action thriller Robocop for a new documentary titled RoboDoc: The Creation of RoboCop that just launched on Kickstarter!
Griffiths explains why he chose Robocop as his next project, stating, “To say that RoboCop is a big part of my life is an understatement. Just ask anybody who knows me. It is the film that started it all for me at an age when I probably shouldn’t have been watching it, like many others, but I did, and I have grown up with it and found new things each time I watch it.”
Direct from the official press release:
Supported by dozens of the original cast and crew RoboDoc is made by fans of the movie for fans of the movie. The crew have already received support from over 20 of the cast and crew as well as the RoboCop Archive, and there is no doubt that by the time of production many more key players will be attached to share their amazing stories about one of the most iconic movies ever-made.
As of this post going live, the Kickstarter has already raised over $14,300 of its near $29,000 goal and it still has over 29 days left. You can learn more or champion the cause my clicking on the above link.
