Sigourney Weaver joins director Neil Blomkamp's "Chappie"



Opinions were varied on Neil Blomkamp's Elysium.  I personally loved it but some thought it was extremely boring.  There's no denying that Blomkamp is a visionary, and I respect his decision to take on original projects rather than established franchises.

Up next for Blomkamp is the sci-fi film Chappie, which involves an A.I. robot that gets kidnapped by two criminals and is adopted by a dysfunctional family.  Well according to "THR," sci-fi icon Sigourney Weaver has hopped on board alongside Sharlto Copley, Hugh Jackman, and Dev Patel. 

No word yet on what character Weaver will play, but I'm guessing the matron of this "dysfunctional family."

Filming has already begun in Johannesburg, South Africa.
