His life, his story, will change the way the world looks at robots and humans forever.
As he did with his first two films,District 9andElysium,Neill Blomkampdirects from a script he co-wrote with his wifeTerri Tatchell.Chappiewas also recently given an R rating for “violence, language and brief nudity” by the MPAA, keeping the director’s streak of all R-rated movies intact.
