Neill Blomkamp really blew the doors off of sci-fi with the groundbreaking District 9. He followed that up with Elysium which was not too shabby either. This time he's rockin' a tale of artificial intelligence with "Chappie".

The new film starts Hugh Jackman and Signorney Weaver. So he's got Wolverine and Ripley in the film, how do you up the ante? Put Die Antwood in the film.  Yolandi and Ninja both seem to have very prominent rolls in this film. Oh, do you not know who Die Antwoord is?  Well, I'll freak you on them here in a minute.

So what I can't tell is what the real tone of this movie is going to be? Is this going to be a "child-like wonder" thing like E.T. or will it be more hardcore (it does show some gunfire and explosions). There's apparently a little comedy to the story too (notice the robot wearing gangsta bling).  I think no matter, I'm pretty excited for this flick.

The film is scheduled to land in March.

Now if you don't know about South African rappers (the scene is actually called "Zef" over there), then check out this video from Die Antwoord. Oh, yeah. You're going to think it's weird, but it's closing in on 10 million hits. The video also features Marilyn Manson and Flea.  Careful there are dirty words in the video.
