No. Just no.

Do we know more about his role in Chappie? Is he literally just being mo-capped? Or is he doing the voice too?

It's been described as a "poor-man's" mo-cap. He's there in a skintight suit interacting with the other actors, and then they essentially just animated Chappie in over him.

[Corporal Hicks]

No voicing or anything?

Exactly what Jason Cope did for the Prawns in District 9.

Pretty sure he's voicing. Fokken robot sounds like him.

[Nightmare Asylum]

Yeah, he's the voice as well.

Yup.

[Corporal Hicks]

Rightio. Thanks. As long as he's good for the role he gets, I don't mind him showing up in it. No different to Biehn being in a bunch of Jim's films.

[The Eighth Passenger]

No voicing or anything?

Yes, he is the voice of Chappie as well. This time he is using what is known as a "Capie" accent.

The black dude in this video has that accent:

He'll play a facehugger.

In all seriousness I hope he's in Blomkamp's Alien movie. Copley is awesome, any work he gets is good by me.

[KiramidHead]

Neill should just fold it into his GTA style Kruger spinoff. *throws ninja star at queen* Pull it out bitch iss juss a flish wund!

I altered the title a bit and gave this a sticky so we can have a running thread throughout this whole process in order to compile all news/rumors/articles as we've been doing.

This.  Smart.  Let's hope people will use this thread correctly going forward and put opinions elsewhere.

I really hope he does end up in it. I really like Copley and he was simply wonderful in Chappie. He brought real heart to that robot.

I really don't think he can be anything other than an android. Not to insult the actor though lol. But if he ends up getting the job, I'd imagine he'd play some sort of cleaner Wikus.

[Nazrel]

I really dont want him in it, its not that hes a bad actor i just dont see him in an alien film. i think it would be a really bad idea
