Whether it’s puppets, musical numbers, 8-bit animation, drag, or modern dance, producer David Seger’s Our RoboCop Remake respects the original Robocop (1987), while also ripping it into tatters. A completely irreverent and humorous affair, this project which was produced via crowdsourcing is well worth your time.

From the creators: 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.
“Because if anyone is going to ruin RoboCop, it’s us.”
Our RoboCop Remake premiered in Los Angeles on January 26th and New York on February 5th. On February 6th, it was released online.
