Neill Blomkamp

Neill Blomkamp

Filming has begun on Chappie: the next movie to be directed by the fantastic Neill Blomkamp.

Blomkamp returned to the director's chair this summer with new film Elysium - a film that came four years after he made his debut with District 9.

The director has brought together a great cast as Hugh Jackman, Sigourney Weaver and Dev Patel are all set to star.

Sharlto Copley is also back as he is set to voice the character of Chappie; this will be the third feature film together for Copley and the director.

The movie follows Chappie - a robot who is kidnapped by two criminals and brought up as the adopted son in a new family.

Blomkamp has penned the screenplay with Terri Tatchell and will blend elements of comedy and sci-fi.

Elysium is one of the best sci-fi films to hit the big screen so far this year, as the director teamed up with Matt Damon for the first time.

Chappie is set to hit the big screen in 2015.
