It's called 'Chappie', and it looks pretty good.

Neill Blomkamp is the director behind off-beat sci-fi classics like District 9 and Elysium, and his latest effort looks like it might surpass both of those films.

Chappie doesn’t have a groundbreaking premise — it’s about a robot, named Chappie, who can think and feel as humans do — but if the trailer’s anything to go by there’s definitely enough here to check out, if only to see Hugh Jackman with a mullet or what kind of acting South African hip-hop duo Die Antwoord are capable of.

It’s never not a good time to go back and watch the film clip that made Die Antwoord famous, is it. No? Good.

Chappie is coming soon.
