Science fiction God Neill Blomkamp's nieuwste film Chappie staat op punt van uitkomen en daarom geeft hij overal interviews. Zo ook aan de website Collider.com en daar vertelde hij openlijk over Chappie en de aankomende Alien film. Het volledige interview kan je hier vinden en een hapje daar uit kan je hier onder lezen.

Was there ever any concern about tone? You've got a character who can turn into a kid's action figure but then there's also some really R-rated adult humor and gore.

BLOMKAMP: Yeah, there were a lot of discussions about tone. The biggest discussion in the whole movie was Die Antwoord. Putting them in the film, that was difficult. The script was easy. 'Here's the script,' you know, 'What budget can I have with that script?' 'You can have this budget.' I was like, 'Okay.' And then I was like, 'This is Ninja and Yolandi.' That's when things went off the rails a little bit. But when we saw that through - because I was like, I didn't want to make the film unless they were in it - it kind of allowed for the weirdness of the tone of the movie to be okay. But we all knew that. You summed up what the tone is, or what the theme is actually. The theme is innocent, blank slate being in a violent, non-caring environment, and that's how I view the world. So that's the theme of the film and that theme naturally means you have childlike elements with adult elements. What is that as a movie? It's a weird concept.
