Blomkamp has me both optimistic and pessimistic at the same time. He's good with the visual side of things, but from his latest efforts (I've not seen Chappie and refuse to as it looks total shite to begin with) he seems to be showing a distinct lack of imagination even in the thing he's seemingly good at. His films all have that same overly depressing and 'brown' look. Ironically, that could work for a Robocop film, but it's more down to whoever is writing the script and the acting talent for this one. I mean, if he's writing it, and we see that South African guy (Sharlto Copley) again (imagine him as Robocop with a broad accent), I think it's more or less guaranteed to be shite.
