Briefly: Neill Blomkamp’s Chappie is finally just a few weeks away, and Sony today debuted two new TV spots for the anticipated film.

I’m beyond excited for the film, and at this point it looks more like District 9 than Elysium, which can only be good for the full feature. Not familiar with the film? Here’s the synopsis:

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.

You can take a look at the new spots below (and check out the latest trailer here if you missed it), and be sure to let us know what you think! Chappie hits theatres on March 6th!

Briefly: The second trailer for District 9 and Elysium director Neil Blomkamp’s next film, Chappie, hit the web today, and it’s definitely a great follow up to the affective teaser from a few months back.

You definitely see themes and elements in the trailer that we’ve seen many times before, but this time around, it feels different. Humans, of course, made Chappie, and as humans do (and as the trailer notes) for some reason we must fear and destroy anything that we don’t understand. I sure hope that Chappie makes it out of this one, though I know it won’t be unscathed.

Also, one of Jon’s dogs is named Chappy, so it gets extra points for that one. Take a look at the trailer below, and let us know what you think. Chappie hits theatres on March 6th, 2015.

Briefly: Neill Blomkamp’s second feature film, Elysium, hit theatres a few months back, making some massive dough at the box office. Within days, his third feature, a robot tale called Chappie, was greenlit.

Today, it was revealed that Hugh Jackman has joined the project. Jackman announced today at a Prisoners press conference that “I am doing a role in Neill’s new film, called Chappie, which we shoot in Johannesburg. I’m there for a couple of weeks at the beginning of next year.”

Plot details for Chappie are still scarce, though we do know that it tells the story of a robot imbued with artificial intelligence who is stolen by two local gangsters who want to use him for their own nefarious purposes.

There’s no word yet on what role Jackman will play in the film, but we’ll be sure to let you know as soon as we find out!

What do you think of Blomkamp’s work thus far? Are you looking forward to Chappie? Sound out below!
