The design of CHAPPIE is very similar to the Tetra Vaal short video he did years back.
Good to see the Tetra Vaal company make another appearance too.

Just so long as we get another song out of it that's this good:

It was a strange thing to be a kid in the 80's. This was once normal music.

That's pretty much the only thing he has ever done in entire his life. No surprise there heh. Oh and aliens.
You'll probably be disappointed if that's what you're most excited about.

I don't know who the fuck Die Antwoord are, but I smiled at the He-Man reference. Might see this.

Wow, hearing that tune brought a ton of memories rushing back. Pretty sure my memory harddrive needed to throw that one in the trash for being crap but it was still hiding on the disk.....

Looks like a Blomkamp movie.
He's about as subtle as a nuke.

Wait until Chappie has no strings on him...
Chappie reminds me of:
just not as badass.
I mean, how can you not be a badass robot with a name like "Briareos Hecatonchires"?

that is very true
Thats pretty much the only think he nails.
Unlike Elysium, Blomkamp wrote Chappie with his District 9 partner, Terri Tatchell. So hopefully that's a positive sign on the script front.
I get an odd sense that the trailer is playing that up more than will be the movie's actual tone. We'll see.

I hear this is supposed to be "insanely gory."

Why would 2 major roles (by the looks of it) be given to Die Antword, unless they are going for comedy...
Hooray, more head explosions!
Films looks great. I enjoyed both District 9 and Elysium but this one has been a must watch since I heard it's premise a long while back.. Shame Die Atwoord (well Ninja) were apparently complete dicks off screen which led to a fall out between them and Blomkamp

Not by much
Edit: I hope Chappie bombs (chances are, it will) From what I've seen and read, Blomkamp strikes me as a director who should have as little input on a screenplay as possible. I think he'd be much better off realizing someone else's vision.
He'd be a great director for hire. Give him full creative freedom except make him sign a contract that he can't hire sharlto or change the script
District 9 worked because it had a strong heart to it. The characters felt real, and you cared more about them rather the outcome of the plot itself. This seems like a return to form. Elysium felt så unpersonal, so cold and distant. It was very impressive, but it had no emotional core to it.

Mean spirited if not petty.
That said, Neil Blomkamp should be given the rights to adapt the Appleseed books* into an actual movie. Fuck, make it a trilogy.
*ignore the horrid CGI films/series

Any chance this won't have a tragic, sad and heroic ending?
I ain't hating.
Wanting him to fail so he can make better movies in the future is mean spirited and petty?
Yes, because the movie isn't even out yet.
