Re: Neill Blomkamp's Chappie

Anyone read that Ninjas part is apparently being cut right down because of his bad behaviour?

I noticed in the last trailer his line was overdubbed by someone else.
 
Re: Neill Blomkamp's Chappie

Can you provide a link to that article?

Neill is promoting photos of Ninja and Yoland with Chappie extensively on Instagram and I wasn't aware of his role being cut down.
 
Re: Neill Blomkamp's Chappie

it's either true

OR

it's got people talking about Chappie / DIE ANTWOORD, who have carefully crafted this bad press, as it's exactly their kinda thing.

and people say i'm cynical.

+ my order for that chappie figure got cancelled by the store yesterday

This item has been cancelled, but will be offered again in a future issue of Previews. When it is, you will be free to add it to a new order.

Re: Neill Blomkamp's Chappie

Thanks.
It's good he openly admits the influence.
I'm going to be a little more forgiving when watching it.

Umm.. What about macross/robotech?

Even shogun warriors and starvengers baddies sometimes had "ears" like that...

kinda looks like Anubis...

Chappie is totally ripping off ancient Egyptian art!!

What a bunch of hacks!!!

(Rolls eyes)
see above link.

"Masamune Shirow, he has one robot called Briareos that has these rabbit ears. I just love that as a design feature, so I put that robot in the short. When I made Chappie, I was like, "Obviously, the robot will be based on that robot, and the fictional company that made that robot will make the fictional robots in the full feature film."

Appleseed / johny 5 vs. Ed209 and slum lords is what I thought of when I saw the trailers. I'll wait for the dvd.
 
Re: Neill Blomkamp's Chappie

I'm getting a little concerned. Theres more interest in Aliens 5 at the moment than "Chappie"! Anyone spot a review yet? Its out here in the UK on Friday.
 
Re: Neill Blomkamp's Chappie

More interest in Alien 5 is not surprising at all. Established franchise vs new property, the former always gets the mileage. It's out on Friday (March 6) in US too.
 
Re: Neill Blomkamp's Chappie

I'm really looking forward to seeing this movie. I have really enjoyed Blomkamp movies.

It sucks he had such troubles with the cast, but looking at those 2... it isn't exactly a shock.
