yes, the story has been done. I'll still see it.


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.

i doubt Blomkamp can pull this concept off at all. He's so hamfisted I expect this to be a clumsy mess.

Fuck Hugh Jackman.

nice work, stickman

South African here. "Chappie" is a sort of Afrikaans-y affectionate nickname in South Africa. Pronounced like a real Afrikaaner, though. "Hey cheppie, howzit going, bru?" Imagine that Sharlto Copley guy saying it.

Jeez, other cultures, amirite?

It can also be used with the same threatening undertones of "hey, friend".
