‘Chappie’ Gets A Fantastic Second Trailer!

Briefly: The second trailer for District 9 and Elysium director Neil Blomkamp’s next film, Chappie, hit the web today, and it’s definitely a great follow up to the affective teaser from a few months back.

Every child comes into the world full of promise, and none more so than Chappie: he is gifted, special, a prodigy. Like any child, Chappie will come under the influence of his surroundings – some good, some bad – and he will rely on his heart and soul to find his way in the world and become his own man. But there’s one thing that makes Chappie different from anyone else: he is a robot. The first robot with the ability to think and feel for himself. His life, his story, will change the way the world looks at robots and humans forever.

You definitely see themes and elements in the trailer that we’ve seen many times before, but this time around, it feels different. Humans, of course, made Chappie, and as humans do (and as the trailer notes) for some reason we must fear and destroy anything that we don’t understand. I sure hope that Chappie makes it out of this one, though I know it won’t be unscathed.

Also, one of Jon’s dogs is named Chappy, so it gets extra points for that one. Take a look at the trailer below, and let us know what you think. Chappie hits theatres on March 6th, 2015.
