Today marks the 30th anniversary of director Paul Verhoeven's sci-fi classic RoboCop and to celebrate Alamo Drafthouse has announced that they will be re-releasing the film for one-night only on September 10.

Peter Weller will be in attendance at the special event, which is being live-streamed to theaters across the country from Dallas City Hall - the same place where production filmed its OCP Headquarters scenes. Weller will also engage in an audience Q&A following the screening. Additionally, since these are special Movie Party screenings, fans will also be able to pick up special movie props with their ticket purchase.

Tickets go on sale August 1. Check out the full release below: 


Part man. Part machine. All awesome. The future of film screenings.

This September we’re marking the thirtieth anniversary of ROBOCOP, Paul Verhoeven’s wild cybernetic vision of future of law enforcement, with a once-in-a-lifetime livestream event broadcast from the real OCP Headquarters shooting location, aka City Hall in Dallas, TX.

And joining us? Part man, part machine, all badass, the first and the greatest RoboCop: Peter Weller! The icon will be there live and in person for a conversation and Q&A that’ll get beamed into ROBOCOP Movie Party screenings across the country.

That’s not all. Both the live event and all Alamo Drafthouse screenings are ROBOCOP Movie Party screenings, with special props included with the ticket so you can interact with the film.

Heading to Dallas for the live event? Get ready for the ultimate ROBOCOP experience, with OCP-approved photo ops, food trucks (in case you didn’t have your rudimentary paste), full bars with robo-cocktails, and the opportunity to watch the film at the site of RoboCop and ED-209’s final showdown. Oh yeah, and PETER WELLER will be there!

Would you buy that for a dollar? How about multiple? Grab your tickets now... you now have fifteen seconds to comply.

So, what do you guys think? Sound off with your thoughts below!

@BlackBeltJones -

That's fair enough that you like it.

For me it didn't work, but shame that José Padilha didn't get to make his version of the movie as it had studio interference, as the Elite Squad movies were good, and he played a part in Narcos.

@BlackBeltJones -

The remake was ok but I think they were missing the whole point by making it a straight up
SCI-FI action film. Robocop is a brutal satire on 1960's America,the Reagan era and emerging
corporate culture.

The film was really ahead of it's time with the idea of OCP privatizing an essential public service
like Law Enforcement and trying to run it as a for profit business.

Look at what happened with private military contractors in Iraq and Afghanistan and the potential for corruption that exists when you combine management focused on the bottom line while trying to
do a job with real people who make life and death decisions.

@SimplyAz - Elite Squad is a classic.

I thought the remake flirted with some nice ideas. Nice themes about man and machine

I put it on another article earlier but this is the perfect one for it:
A trailer for the making of and the creation of the original Robocop movies.

Watched the likes of Terminator 2 and Robocop when I was 8 or 9 years old, and have been infatuated ever since.
Could be a watch for fans of The Death of "Superman Lives": What Happened?

One of the greatest SF movies of all time. A visionary movie that is still relevant. Terrific cast and Verhoeven was on fire.

With all the hoopla over female characters getting there time in the sun these days
people seem to forgot that the 80's had a lot of great female characters who just
happened to be women.

@TheBeard - Only if it's the Xrated version! Yes the first cut of Robocop got an X rating because of the violence.
