RoboCop statue reaches funding goal

[Archive]

Detroit is taking pride in its rough and tumble reputation. Now on the table -- a proposed statue of RoboCop, the (obviously) fictional law enforcement enthusiast who was part man, part machine, but all cop.

The 1987 action film of the same name was set in the Motor City. Now a privately funded group has raised enough money to erect a statue honoring Detroit's No. 1 crime fighter.

The news set off an explosion of Web searches. Online lookups on "robocop statue" surged into Yahoo's top 100 overall search terms. Related searches on "robocop actor," "robocop sequels," and "robocop photos" posted similarly impressive spikes.

So, will the statue really become a reality? Well, at first, it didn't look likely. A fan of the flick sent a tweet to Detroit Mayor Dave Bing, saying, "Philadelphia has a statue of Rocky & Robocop would kick Rocky's butt. He's a GREAT ambassador for Detroit." Bing responded, saying, "There are not any plans to erect a statue to Robocop. Thank you for the suggestion."

End of story, right? Wrong. A group set out to raise $50,000 to build a full-scale sculpture. And with the help of a $25,000 donation from an Oakland entrepreuneur, the group has now raised well over the required amount. According to CNN, the statue would "stand on privately owned land near the Michigan Central Depot." The hope is that it will become a tourist attraction.

While the Web interest has been deafening, there are some who question whether it's wise to remind tourists of Hollywood's version of dystopian Detroit. The Christian Science Monitor quotes John McCarthy, a professor of urban history at Robert Morris University in Pittsburgh: "I don’t see anything in the RoboCop image that is positive for the city of Detroit." The message such a statue would send would be at its best, "an ironic one."

Interestingly, much of "RoboCop" wasn't filmed in Detroit. Dallas actually served as the backdrop in many scenes. And let it be known that Detroit is hardly the first city to honor a fictional character. There's Rocky in Philadelphia, of course. But there's also Mary Richards in Minneapolis, Superman in Metropolis (Illinois), Ralph Kramden of "The Honeymooners" at the Port Authority in New York, and the one and only Fonz in Milwaukee.

...but am i correct when i say that no-one has actually donated any money yet, just pledged/promised that they will?

I wonder how many will actually pay up when/if the time comes.

True. That's prolly the reason that even though they've reached their goal, they're still accepting additional contributions for backup.

But seriously. Who wouldn't pay for a RoboCop statue? xD

After a time I was not around this is quite interesting. Hey and why not ? I just wonder why in the Detroit is not a Robocop statue yet. I love statue, you know me, ancint egypt and bla bla, statues always remind something, great people or some days of history and they are also points where we always take photos.

Towns and parks are full of any statues and modern art, many of them are weird or looks silly, you dont know what it exactly is and if other towns can to have statues of singers or film heroes, I dont see any reason why not a Robocop statue in Detroit .

Someone of you said that bring there a Robocop statue is not too good idea cause all the films were filmed in other cities, Dallas, Houston, Atlanta. Yea, that is really logical reason, but the Robocop take places in Detroit of near future ..well they used for R1 many Dallas locations but also created many backgrounds in the studio. Maybe if they shoot all three film in Dallas then we could give more points to Dallas . But in the Robocop world is his town Detroit, so to throw the statue to Dallas is nonsense as well uh sorry Justin .

Many other film stories take places in Detroit but most of all it many folks know as the Robocops town. I like the idea, of yeah because I am a Robocop fan ! Many towns has many other silly and nonsensical sculptures ehm like town where I live, just huge bald stone in middle of town on square what everybody from our town call "egg" just wonderfull .. so why not a RoboCop statue in Detroit ? Yeah! Go boys . I bet the statue will be erected there soon!

they brought it on FB ..you have my support ! I bet you all Robocop fans would love to see his statue there and if not money so we should support them at least !

I think this is really going to happen. If so i'm taking a trip to Old Detroit.

Good news, sci-fi fans: RoboCop is headed to Detroit.



Just six days after raising donations on the Internet, a group of local artists and fans of the 1987 cult classic exceeded the fund-raising goal of $50,000 this morning to build a larger-than-life sculpture of the crime-fighting cyborg.

With 1,500 donations and hundreds pouring in every day at www.detroitneedsrobocop.com, the group plans to continue raising money until the March 29 deadline to make the statue of "as big and good as possible," said Detroit artist Jerry Paffendorf, who is helping raise donations.

"This could be a multi-hundred-thousand-dollar KickStarter," Paffendorf said, referring to the online service hub for ideas looking for funding. "It's remarkable."

The statue has set off debates about the artistic value of a RoboCop statue. Some complain that the movie, about a dystopian, crime-ridden Detroit, would hurt the city's image.

Others said it's a fun way to bring more attention to the struggling, but resilient city.

Fund-raising began last week after Detroit Mayor Dave Bing politely rejected a suggestion on Twitter that RoboCop would improve the city's image. Although the Tweet was a joke from a New England computer technician, fans of RoboCop swarmed cyberspace to call for a statue.

Once the price tag is determined, a team of skilled sculptures, including a team that worked with Bjork's husband, Matthew Barney, will build the sculpture from any number of materials. The group is working with the Mayor's Office to consider public spots, such as areas near Comerica Park or a downtown park.

If that doesn't work out, the statue may end up at Imagination Station, an outdoor art project cofounded by Paffendorf near the abandoned Michigan Central Station just off Michigan Avenue.

Paffendorf and other local artists hope RoboCop is just the beginning of a series of public art installations.

"With all of this publicity, we have a big opportunity to extend this to other projects in Detroit," Paffendorf said.

Supporters of the statue got a big boost Tuesday when San Francisco businessman, Pete Hottelet, donated $25,000.

"Despite everything, we live in a great country, and every day, there's an opportunity out there to do something awesome," Hottelet, owner of Omni Consumer Products, told the Free Press. "You just have to find it."[/i]

I would buy that for a dollar!

I think what MGM heads are thinking about RoboCop now, with all this spontaneous publicity.

That's a proof that RoboCop character is a cult icon, a symbol, more popular than they think. And plus: the bad sequels, series, comics, animations, games, toys, and the foolish merchandising, nothing of this killed the brilliant original idea.

The fact of the movie been filmed in Dallas isn't big deal, because the city of Detroit is the RoboCop universe, and internationaly known just because this movie (and the motor industry, sure). Thats why i agree on Nika.

Congrats Verhoeven, Miner and Neumeier!! Congrats Peter Weller. This credit is yours. And ours.

No, the thing is definitely being erected. It was 100% privately financed and it 100% being put on private property.

Why do some people have a beef about this?

Because they're pissed at their own life situation.

If someone wanted to put up a statue of Rodin's Thinker in their front yard, no one would give a rat's ass.

People all over are blogging negatively about this because they hate the attention Robocop is receiving.

A trillion dollars a year is wasted on other frivolous things, why would people complain about a privately financed statue?

I've dropped 5 dollars in the pot. It's pretty cool that enough people wanted to see this happen actually, I mean for many people, Robocop has very little cultural relevance these days.
