RoboCop Is Storming Back Into Theaters
Movie fans celebrating the 30th anniversary of Paul Verhoeven’s classic ‘80s action flick RoboCop—which was released in theaters on this day in 1987—got an added surprise today when Alamo Drafthouse announced that it will be bringing the movie back to its theaters nationwide for one night only on Sunday, September 10, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
While the official screening will be held in Dallas, with Peter Weller—the film’s half-cyborg star—in attendance and taking audience questions once the final credits roll, that’s not even the coolest part: The screening will take place at Dallas City Hall, which played the part of OCP Headquarters in the original film. And the building is going all out to celebrate its brush with Hollywood stardom; in addition to a number of food trucks, there will be a full bar serving RoboCop-themed cocktails and a variety of sure-to-be-awesomely-cheesy photo ops.
According to Birth.Movies.Death, which is co-hosting the screening with Alamo Drafthouse and Syfy, each ticket will come with a special prop that will allow audience members to interact with the movie. Tickets for the Dallas event will go on sale at 11 a.m. on August 1; to find out if there’s an Alamo Drafthouse theater near you that will be live-streaming the event, click here. We’d buy that for a dollar!
