With ELYSIUM landing in UK cinemas today it seems only correct that we bring you news of Neill Blomkamp’s next film CHAPPIE. It has been announced that the film will be added to 2015’s already bloated schedule when it hits theatres on March 27th.
Reuniting Blomkamp with DISTRICT 9 star Sharlito Copley CHAPPIE tells the story of a robot (Copley) imbued with artificial intelligence who is stolen by two local gangsters who want to use him for their own nefarious purposes. Sounds like a hugely interesting take on the sci-fi genre and with Blomkamp in command our appetites are already whetted.
Also starring Ninja and Yolandi Visser CHAPPIE starts shooting this autumn.
What do you think of this news; is it too much for a directors next project to be announced as their current film is released, or do you think ‘more the merrier’ when it comes to the announcement of new films? Let us know your thoughts.
