ROBOCOP Live-Action Web Series From Machinima Announced
Machinima is rolling out an ambtious new slate of programming with such titles as Starman, Dial H for Hero and Justice League: Gods and Monsters leading the way. However, the most ambitious project may be a live-action RoboCop series that imagines not one...but a whole police force full of RoboCops. Check out the details below.
RoboCop returns to Delta City where viewers ride along with the now standard-issue RoboCop officers as they respond to calls from dispatch. Tapping into current themes of the surveillance state, the series is shot from the first person point of view of the RoboCop officers’ heads up display, along with security cameras, dash-cams, and drones.
There's no official word yet on whether the web series will have connections to the 1987 RoboCop film starring Peter Weller or the 2014 reboot starring Joel Kinniman. With successful web series adaptations of Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter, perhaps Machinima can rekindle RoboCop's franchise fire.
