    I’m a bit in two minds about this news.

    I love both the novel and the movie as two separate things.

    And District 9 was good, but Chappie wasn’t even a blip on my radar as what little I saw of it was cringy as hell. :/

      Neil Blomkamp is like a one hit wonder director. He came from nowhere, made a banger movie, and then he’s unable to replicate the success.
