Remember this, from 2004?

(yes the robot's OS is Windows 98 DOS)


And this, from 2006?

The two have been combined into one movie coming out in March, with the robots looking like the Tetra Vaal ones:

It's no secret Neill Blomkamp is a big fan of 80's movies, as District 9 is sort of a re-imagining of Alien Nation. It should be more than obvious that Adicolor Yellow is a concept trailer for a re-imagining of Short Circuit (notice the 5 robots, where one is "special," but it's number 4 instead of number 5).

So basically Chappie is a Short Circuit remake (at the end of the trailer he says "I am alive"), with a South African accented Number 5 named Chappie.

(There also appear to be Ed 209 police robots.)

I think it's a bit of a stretch to predict that Anderson Cooper will be reporting on actual robot cops as early as 2016.

Anyway, if this follows the typical Neill Blomkamp formula, it will depict human evil and depravity running rampant amongst ever advancing technology, but will have a happy ending showing that there is hope for humanity after all.

Being a teenager of the 80's, I'll probably go see it.

Me too.

I sort of glossed over He-Man in the Chappie trailer. That's cool I guess. Maybe that will be where he learns his morals?

Also, I thought Chappie's voice sounded like Sharlto Copley. It is.

I guess this is a girlfriend movie because your girlfriend will think the robot is cute.

I forgot about this from 2005:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCS0hNyJf6k

It's a bit longer, and has a student film quality vibe to it. It doesn't really match the other Blomkamp stuff as it feels like an IFC or Adult Swim produced comedy. Yes that is in fact Lynda Carter.

The robot is basically a goon in this one. :mmmhmm:

Fun fact, Neil Blomkamp was also working on an Alien 5 pitch to Fox that would've ignored the last two films, if the concept art was anything to go by:

Elysium wasn't great but had some good bits and great design. District 9 was good enough to still make this movie potentially great.
