Director Neill Blomkamp has made an incredible cinematic mark with his District 9 and Elysium, and now brings Chappie to the big screen, starring Dev Patel, Sharlto Copley, Hugh Jackman and Sigourney Weaver. As the voice of the titular robot, Copley shares what it was like bringing Chappie to life and making him “human,” while Patel discusses some of his early fears about acting opposite a robot. Inhabiting the role of Vincent, Jackman talks about the joys of using his own accent and delves deeper into his role, and Weaver also chimes in about her character’s ambitions and motivations.
Chappie hits theaters March 6.
