The new RoboCop movie is due out next week and for a lot of people, it is considered blasphemy to touch the original (unless of course it is to provide the fans with a lovely remastered version on Blu-ray) but what happens when a bunch of filmmakers decide that if anyone is going to ruin the holiness of Clarence Boddicker and ED-209 it's going to be them?
Well, probably this.
From the folks who made this particular version:
Our RoboCop Remake is a crowd-sourced film project based on the 1987 Paul Verhoeven classic. Connected through various filmmaking channels (including Channel 101) we're 50 filmmakers (amateur and professional) from Los Angeles and New York who have split the original RoboCop into individual pieces and have remade the movie ourselves. Not necessarily a shot-for-shot remake, but a scene-for-scene retelling. As big fans of the original RoboCop, and as filmmakers and film fans admittedly rolling our eyes at the Hollywood remake machine, we've elected to do this remake thing our own way.
Yep, it's a full version of RoboCop hacked up into 50 pieces, parceled out and reconstructed (not unlike Murphy himself).
So if you've got close to two hours to kill, why not check it out after the break...you might be pleasantly surprised.
