Watch the Official Trailer for Chappie

He took us into an alien community on Earth in District 9 and sent us up into space on a suicide mission in Elysium. Now, sci-fi writer/director Neill Blomkamp is bringing viewers a big screen story about a robot with emotion. Chappie follows this mechanical miracle as it strives to fit into a world of humans, encountering kindness and hostility along the way, as evidenced in the film's official trailer.

"Every child comes into the world full of promise, and none more so than Chappie: he is gifted, special, a prodigy. Like any child, Chappie will come under the influence of his surroundings – some good, some bad – and he will rely on his heart and soul to find his way in the world and become his own man. But there's one thing that makes Chappie different from anyone else: he is a robot. The first robot with the ability to think and feel for himself. His life, his story, will change the way the world looks at robots and humans forever."

Directed by Neill Blomkamp off a screenplay he wrote with Terri Tatchell, Chappie stars Sharlto Copley, Dev Patel, Ninja and Yo-Landi Vi$$er, Jose Pablo Cantillo, with Sigourney Weaver and Hugh Jackman. Columbia Pictures will release Chappie in 2015.
