CHAPPIE Trailer

A new trailer for Chappie, a robot movie by District 9 writer and director, Neill Blomkamp has been released and we get to see a bit more of the actual story surrounding Chappie. I’ve got to admit, it looks pretty cool. This trailer is leaps and bounds over the first trailer we saw for this film. While a cute, goofy robot (voiced by a Blomkamp favorite, Sharlto Copley) is a fun idea in theory, it definitely didn’t seem like a strong enough concept to center an entire movie around. And maybe I’m alone on this one, but it seemed like the film wasn’t going to be much beyond a modern Pinocchio adaptation. At some point, watching a robot discover the world around him starts to get old. I’m pretty relieved with this trailer to see that there’s a bit more story than just a lovable robot who gains sentience.
