About two years ago around the same time District 9 director Neill Blomkamp's Elysium was announced, another project was also announced called Chappie. Not much is known about the film other than it's a sci-fi comedy that will be shot in Johannesburg.
This will be Blomkamp's third feature film and it's been revealed in a recent interview with The Province (via The Playlist) that the director has already started prep work on the movie. The script for it comes from Terri Tatchell who also worked on District 9.
There's really no other information of the project, but Blomkamp is a very talented director, and the guy is just going to get better and better as a filmmaker. District 9 was awesome, the footage I've seen from Elysium is incredible, and I think any film this guy ends up doing is something to look forward to.
He also gives a little update on Elysium saying it's basically finished and is just going to sit on a shelf until it's released this summer in August.
