Zef Yeah! The first trailer is out for the new Neill Blomkamp [District 9, Elysium] movie CHAPPIE, co-starring Ninja and Yo-landi Vi$$er from Die Antwoord:
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.
The journey from machine to man (or man to alien) is a subject Neill has been exploring through much of his work. Here’s two short films of his from the 2000s that are part of that:
Tetra Vaal
Yellow
