What do you get when you let the visually acute director of the surprise 2009 smash hit District 9 loose with a project about artificial intelligence and robots?
You get Chappie, a blend of Robocop and Short Circuit!
Check the latest trailer below...
"Every child comes into the world full of promise, and none more so than Chappie: he is gifted, special, a prodigy. Like any child, Chappie will come under the influence of his surroundings - some good, some bad - and he will rely on his heart and soul to find his way in the world and become his own man. But there's one thing that makes Chappie different from anyone else: he is a robot. The first robot with the ability to think and feel for himself. His life, his story, will change the way the world looks at robots and humans forever." - by Sony Pictures Entertainment
Neill Blomkamp has stood out since 2009 as a director who really has his own solid style. Chappie (2015) stars Hugh Jackman, Sigourney Weaver and Dev Patel, all top rated actors.
However the real excitement will be to see Sharlto Copley going head to head with Andy Serkis (not in the film I mean in acting terms) as he delivers a motion capture performance in the titular role.
From what I see in the trailer I think the District 9 actor will nail it!
The Short Circuit films have a special place in my heart and it's no secret Robocop (1987) is one of my favourite films of all time, so I can not wait to see this one.
Chappie will be in UK Theatres on 6th March 2015.
