Arrow and MVD Entertainment Group have announced that one of their latest 4K releases includes the classic sci-fi film, RoboCop.
This limited edition steelbook is expected to include two different versions of the film: the theatrical release and the director’s cut.
RoboCop is set in a futuristic cyberpunk Detroit. It follows the story of police officer Alex Murphy (Peter Weller) who, after being killed on the job by a group of gang members, is revived by corrupt mega-corporation Omni Consumer Products as an authoritarian cyborg.
Despite being a difficult film to market in a way that appealed to adult audiences, RoboCop received overall positive reviews upon its release in 1987.
By the end of its original theatrical run, it grossed $53.4 million making it a modest success. It has gone on to become one of the most influential sci-fi films to date.
RoboCop was directed by Academy Award nominee and Golden Globe Award-winning renowned Dutch director, Paul Verhoeven. Starship Troopers’ screenwriter Edward Neumeier penned the script with Michael Miner.
Arrow has quite the lineup of classic films to be released in 4K this month, including Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and 12 Monkeys, to name a few. RoboCop’s cultural impact can not be understated and remains as relevant today as it was in the 80s.
Find RoboCop in 4K Ultra steelbook format this April 12th.
