Sci-fi, sign me up. But I am afraid that the themes presented get once again under utilized for big action.

I nearly peed my pants when I saw Watty and Yo-Landi are in it. I joked to my wife just before I played the trailer that the still image 'looked like Wall-E meets Die Antwoordt.' This'll be great, although I suspect Sharlto Copley's going to be playing the villain again like in Elysium and it doesn't look like having the moral complexity of District 9. OTOH I'm very strongly in favor of AI rights so I'm bound to approve.

Usually i never criticise Sci Fi stories but this one looks to easy to figure out :Robot gets build, World is not ready, Army gets involved, The engineer doesnt want to sell it, Army mad, Robot defends his friends, maybe gets destroyed at the end.

but i´m going to watch it for sure Elysium was a masterpiece !

it def looks like a step up from Elysium, having Die Antwoord as main characters alone just seems to automatically turn it into an intriguingly weird movie. It seems though like it has some of that tacky forced emotional arc in it like Elysium had.

As long as Spielberg's not involved, I'll definitely watch.

Please no more South Africa trash cities!! Also, he ripped off Briareos' head design, hmm sound familiar? Like when Alex Proyas deliberately ripped off Chris Cunningham's Bjork video...we see that white "cyborg" now in tons of scifi.

Neil vs Ninja celebrity boxing 2014!!

 

Ninja seems like the kind of human scum that would be dealing meth or doing kiddie porn if he wasn't in music.

lol I approve of them continuing to power through their performance art experiment, since the whole south african hardcore ghetto rapper facade was a facade to begin with. seems like they've solidified that blatantly fake image quite well. Either that or they are just typical outlandish divas like any other emperor no clothes up and coming celeb

there is a small town in the north western part of south africa called stilfontein. it's literally full of men that look like ninja. it used to be run by a guy called kobus van rensburg who was basically a dodgy priest that looked like an interbred ninja. he was the type of guy that supposedly could heal any disease (and supposedly did) yet he himself died of cancer (not sure why he didn't heal himself- actually, he was constantly in & out of hospital)

 

if you google images "stilfontein south africa", you get images that look like random sets from a die antwoord music video

It's the shame that the antagonist ninja had to be written out of the remainder of the shoot, as it would allow you more sympathy as the robot falls into depravity, with this demon on his shoulder exploiting him. With just the robot, it's different thing, maybe they have him cut up a CG ninja, hahar.

 

Maybe they beefed up jackman's antagonist role. The mullet for starters.

I'm not sure how much weight you should give entertainment reports in the media, which are about the bottom of the journalistic barrel.

One of the more outlandish stories heard by City Press is about a visit to the working class Joburg suburb of Fietas. Their adopted child, Tokkie, hails from Fietas, which Ninja considers to be his home away from home. After work on set, Ninja allegedly took star actor Dev Patel on a visit to the suburb to “show him the hood”, says a source. During the visit, “Ninja gave Dev a ‘space cake’ to eat. Dev ate some but then his bodyguard took it saying there might be marijuana inside. Dev was livid.” Another source in the production crew said that Patel complained to producers about the incident.
:doge: so drama such stoned
wow
I mean, anyone who records songs like 'I rub my dick on expensive shit' is going to have an attitude, but as someone who works in film that's one of those occupational hazards - some people are technicians who happen to work in front of rather than behind the camera, other people are quirky or unstable and you hire them because they're distinctive in some way. Working on a film set is a bit of a pressure cooker anyway, it's pretty normal for shit to get weird.

Kobus obviously took on the disease himself from the people he healed. Like any decent shaman. RIP Kobus

Die Antwoord are heavily featured in the tv trailer, I think he's stuck with them.
