Sigourney Weaver has joined the cast of CHAPPIE, directed by Neill Blomkamp.
The story follows a robot named Chappie (voiced by Sharlto Copley), who is kidnapped by two criminals and becomes the adopted son of a very strange and dysfunctional family. Weaver will star along with Hugh Jackman and Dev Patel.
With production currently underway, “Chappie” will be co-produced and co-financed by Sony Pictures and MRC.
Maybe best known for her role in the classic sci-fi/thriller “Aliens,” the UTA-repped Weaver is currently shooting the Fox pic “Exodus” slated for release in December, 2014.
