Machinima New Series News: RoboCop, DC Comics, & Other Webseries Set to Release
The gaming/streaming website Machinima, has recently announced a new lineup of webseries they have in the works. One has been announced to be a Robocop spin-off, along with many DC Comics related projects.
Descriptions of each series has been provided, and fans will be glad to see the original take on some of these timeless properties. The lack of a major studio and production allows companies like this to create the content that all fans want to see.
Robocop:
"'Dead or alive, you're coming with me.' OCP's Security Concepts Division's RoboCop program is back in an all-new, short-form limited web series, based on Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's 1987 classic action film. RoboCop returns to Delta City where viewers ride along with the now standard-issue RoboCop officers as they respond to calls from dispatch. Tapping into current themes of the surveillance state, the series is shot from the first person point of view of the RoboCop officers' heads up display, along with security cameras, dash-cams, and drones."
Justice League: Gods and Monsters Chronicles Season 2:
"From visionary producer and animator Bruce Timm, 'Justice League: Gods and Monsters Chronicles' turns the DC Universe upside-down. In this dark, alternate world, telling the good guys from the bad guys is never easy: Superman is not the son of Jor-El, he's the son of General Zod; Wonder Woman is not from peaceful Themyscira, but rather the warring nation of Ares; and Batman is more vampire-bat than man...and he's not Bruce Wayne. It is unclear if our greatest heroes are here to protect us...or to rule us. With Season 1 set to launch in June, Machinima, Blue Ribbon Content and DC Entertainment have already begun development on Season 2, a 10-episode follow-up to the initial limited series."
DC's Hero Project:
"Machinima, Blue Ribbon Content, and DC Entertainment are setting out to discover the next great creator for the world of DC Comics. Eight contestants compete in elimination challenges to develop a live-action short video based on their own interpretations of characters from DC Comics' 'Starman' comic book series. Well-known guest judges and celebrity special guests will join bestselling writer and DC Entertainment Chief Creative Officer Geoff Johns and a panel of esteemed judges to oversee the entire competition."
No release dates have been announced for the following web series.
