Hugh Jackman joins Neil Blomkamp's "Chappie"



Can't say it hasn't been a great career for Hugh Jackman.  He's worked with some amazing directors, everyone from Baz Luhrmann, to Tom Hooper, to Christopher Nolan.  Now you can add another up and coming director to that list:  Neil Blomkamp.

"Screen Daily" reports that Jackman has signed on for an undisclosed role in Blomkamp's upcoming science-fiction project Chappie.  The plot revolves around an android stolen by two gangsters who seek to use the robot for their own purposes.  Jackman went on to say that he will only be filming for a few weeks, so the part sounds modest at best.

Jackman will definitely add star power to this film but let's hope he can add some dynamic acting as well.  And that the cinematography is slightly less shaky than Elysium.

Chappie starts filming in early 2014 and you can currently see Jackman in Prisoners in theaters now.
