The film stars Dev Patel (who has come a long way since his Anwar days), stunned mullet Hugh Jackman, Sigourney Weaver and Jose Pablo Cantillo. PLUS Ninja and Yolandi Vi$$er who are, of course, known for consistently being fuken nek level and who have heaps of previous experience acting from starring in their videos so ¯_(“~)_/¯
Blomkamp (District 9, Elysium) has put together what looks like an emotional roller coaster, the synopsis of which reads:
“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.”
All in.
