Dev Patel in talks to star
Major story details are being kept under lock and key, but it it known Chappie is based on a short Blomkamp made titled Tetra Vaal. Vaal was a fake ad for a robotic police force patrolling the slums of South Africa.

Sharlto Copley is already on board and would play a police robot working the shanty towns.

Patel, should a deal make, will play the film’s human lead, a young man in the impoverished town.

This movie is going to be dope. Blomkamp is (one of) the best sci-fi director(s) alive.

If Elysium fails, this film will show that Blomkamp isn't a one trick pony.
