It’s been a long, long road for RoboDoc: The Creation of RoboCop, the hotly-anticipated RoboCop documentary that’s been in the works for several years. The wait will be well worth it as Deadline breaks the news that the filmmakers have finally secured Peter Weller, star of the original trilogy, and have just wrapped filming after a lengthy interview!

The doc is a Cult Screenings UK production in association with Red Rock Entertainment and features interviews with cast and crew such as Weller, Paul Verhoeven, Nancy Allen, Kurtwood Smith, Ray Wise, Ronny Cox, Phil Tippett, Bart Mixon and dozens more.
The film is co-directed by Christopher Griffiths (Leviathan: The Story of Hellraiser) and Eastwood Allen (Someday I’ll Fly).
“Our aim with RoboDoc is to give the fans an experience they’ve never quite seen from a movie-making of,” Allen told Bloody Disgusting back in 2019 when we revealed 20 Minutes of footage that recounts RoboCop’s ultra bloody X-rated scene.
“To start with, we’re giving them a scene-by-scene analysis of the original RoboCop. We’re covering it all, from concept to execution(s) and we hope everyone from the hardcore Robo-nerds to the casual filmmaking fan will get a kick out of it. This is a complete and comprehensive rundown of the insane and often strained efforts it took to create a science fiction masterpiece.”
‘This is no longer a documentary,” Griffith interjected. “It is an experience. Nothing comes remotely close to the scale of what has been achieved thus far and with that, we realize more and more that we are incredibly short-staffed on post production. [We are] executing at least a five-man job between the two of us as we work our way through the main documentary’s 4 1/2 hours and the sequel documentaries running at 90 minutes apiece. This excludes the features on comics, games and the 1994 series! We’re doing our best to keep fans in the loop and offer up these exclusive previews to showcase just how much effort is going into this.”
Adds producer Gary Smart: “We decided pretty early on that we wanted to at least cover the first three movies. The project has gone from strength to strength with over 100 of the cast and crew from the original trilogy, TV series, game and comic books interviewed. We have delved as deep as we can into everything that has made RoboCop the legacy that it is today.”
Producers are Gary Smart, Adam Evans, Michael Perez and Hank Starrs (Elstree 1976) and executive producer is Adam F. Goldberg.
