'Chappie' director Neill Blomkamp reveals why he chose Hugh Jackman and Dev Patel for their roles and describes how Sharlto Copley brings his robot character Chappie to life. He also talks about what it was like getting to work with a science-fiction legend like Sigourney Weaver and why audiences should go see this film.
