Blomkamp does not.
At least try and explain why you think you are right and everybody else is wrong. What isn't great about it?

Because by virtue of this being a message board I don't believe I need the disclaimer of THIS IS MY OPINION Y'ALL on every post.
If you must know it's because a promising first act devolves into a gormless, slack-jawed run-and-gun film without any characters of entertainment worth/depth/anything beyond the protagonist, and yet it has airs of being a major statement on Apartheid because Blomkamp doesn't understand how to refine a cultural situation into a story without bashing you over the head with a giant mallet with "THE POINT" stamped on the side.

I'm cool with this, I just hope he is not writing.

UPDATE: Neill Blomkamp's ALIEN movie will take place AFTER the events of PROMETHEUS 2. Ridley Scott is producing BOTH http://www.thewrap.com/neill-blomkamp-t ... h-century-
I'm with Allstar
he's a capable enough director, just don't let him anywhere near the script
or just don't make the film, that's better for everyone

He has been a writer for all 3 of his films, he's probably gonna write something. The question is will he be the only writer? And that's the thing. I don't want him to be the only writer and either do you. I think that after the overall good but still disappointed general reaction of Elysium he seems to have recognized he needs somebody else because he brought is wife back for Chappie and she definitely made a difference with D9. We will have to see how Chappie turns out to see if together they are a winning combo or if he needs another co-writerAllstar wrote:I'm cool with this, I just hope he is not writing.
Yeah, this is true. I'm very pessimistic about Chappie though.ComptonTerry wrote:He has been a writer for all 3 of his films, he's probably gonna write something.

I'd prefer if Blomkamp's writing contribution to this was more story oriented. Leave the dialogue and structure to a respectable co-writer.
Yeah I agree with that he probably should try and stay out of the dialogue
