Cybermutt is a Canada/German/UK co-production between Chesler/Permutter/ApolloMedia/Grosvenor Park in association with Le Sabre and Screensaver International. Filming began in November 2001.
Cybermutt is the story about a young boy (Ryan Cooley) whose dog Rex, has been killed while saving the life of a scientist, Alex (Judd Nelson).
Alex has the technology to rebuild the dog, installing a theta chip, which makes him into a bionic canine, lusted after by two techno criminals.
There is Stuffy, a stuffed dog used as stand-in and a bigger version dubbed "RK" for road kill. The live-action dog is played two golden retrievers who beat out a pair of German shepherds for the gig.
