District 9 Neill Blomkamp and Sharlto Copley Interview

[EffLabels]

Neil's kind of lost his SA accent

[CodyElford]

Neill, Weta Digital, and Peter Jackson would have been amazing for the Halo Movie. I'm talking oscar worthy shit right there. Its a crying shame it had to go down :c

[Wickenburgz]

@CodyElford why did it go down? :O was it the lack of money?

[CodyElford]

@Wickenburgz Well, I can't remember the studio that helmed the project (I think it may have been Fox), but whoever it was didn't want to take the risk. There was a large amount of funds needed for CGI and they didn't have the guts to go on with it.

[jomo999]

why did they bleep sharlto's cursing after they showed a movie clip full of f-bombs?

lol

[halo3xp3rt]

Right now, im cinda pissed on District 9, because of the abandomed Halo movie.

[logotgr]

I laughed out loud at how the guy said "Copley" at the beginning; It sounded French. Sharlto's small facial reactions to the pronunciation was hilarious.

@4:12 when the interviewer said "so I think it's time you practice your American accent," Sharlto was messing with the interviewer. Neill even said "He's not gonna have a bad problem to this sort of thing" @4:21. Sharlto said he does accents all the time. It's funny Sharlto didn't do his real American accent to mess with the dude.

4:31 - haha

[Ecofreak96]

American, not Texan accent!! ROFL,

[polkafrenzy666]

@Ecofreak96 So when did Texas stop being a part of America? Whoever this nicoleblomkamp person is is obviously a troll. If you guys were really cousins you would know something about his next film but would probably say something like, "I'm sure he wouldn't be to happy with me if I told anyone anything."

[Ecofreak96]

@polkafrenzy666

It was just a joke. It sounded hick to me, and I am a Texan, so i hear and speak alot of hick! LOL

[TheReasonWhyGuy]

@Ecofreak96 when most people think american... they think redneck :P

[Ecofreak96]

@TheReasonWhyGuy

I wonder why that is, America's filled with many types of people and accents. :P

[TheReasonWhyGuy]

@Ecofreak96 Because most of the time, the only things which become stereotypes are things which are perceived as negative. Rarely a positive stereotype in made

[Ecofreak96]

@TheReasonWhyGuy

So the South has given America a redneck stereotype? O.o

Whoops. 

[TheReasonWhyGuy]

@Ecofreak96 Well, we also have the east coast "Boston"esk stereotype.

[Ecofreak96]

@TheReasonWhyGuy

I assumed because of a friend of mine overseas, that the "Boston" stereotype was the common idea of an American accent.

[nicoleblomkamp]

My cousin rocks!!!

[daft9punk]

@nicoleblomkamp whoa!!! are you sure? its your cuz?

[nicoleblomkamp]

@daft9punk That may well be one of the dumbest questions Ive ever been asked. Of COURSE he is my cousin! Do you think I just watched the film and decided to change my last name in honour of him? Hahaha. We used to play PacMan together. He is a legend.

[daft9punk]

@nicoleblomkamp huh, well i asked because a lot people say im your cousin when a guy becomes famous...and do you have any inside scoops on his next film?? hey i think i saw you on his facebook! haha

[nicoleblomkamp]

@daft9punk Why would I lie? That is lame and pathetic. He is in Vancouver and I am in South Africa so no, I don't know. I am also not his manager.

[daft9punk]

@nicoleblomkamp ...whoa sooorry......why are you so angry all of the sudden...you should be happy the world cup is in south africa haha but wait...you guys are OUST!!! HAHA just playing

[nicoleblomkamp]

@nicoleblomkamp Not angry at all. And couldn't give a shit about soccer, you pathetic person. Go bug someone else. I won't be reading any more of your dumb mesages.

[amknj100]

Sharlto: Oh, dear god.

1:05  LOL

[TehLeoJoe]

Sharlto Copley should have at least been nominated for a academy award.

[PowerRangerDudeGuy]

next he should make halo

[MySabiAndRafi]

[l33tpwnzord]

Interviewer is obnoxious-- i want to learn about Neil and his films not this twat

[Obnoxiousist]

[Alyssa71808]

Yeah, i guess, now that i listen to Rob Scott again, its his accent that made it sound like he said Copley like 'Colplay' XD Either way, his name is Awesome :)

[Alyssa71808]

Sh-ARE-el-TOE Cop-Lee

[Alyssa71808]

Sharlto is like 'He effed up my name" at 0:14 HAHA

[ravenhpltc242]

Loved this interview, daft9punk is right, these guys answer the same questions over and over in every other interview I've seen. It's nice to see them loosen up a bit here.

[milovy]

stupid interview, wasting the star and director's time.

[daft9punk]

ugggh what an idiot you are....you can tell finally that the director and actor where having fun...finally they were asked different question...you dont how many interviews i've seen where poor Blomkamp has reapeted himself over and over again....he's been asked the same question over and over again...

[heatherjacq]

Awesome interview - Rob Scott is absolutely brilliant. Too funny - want to see more of his work.

[penyuwan]

[phoenixrane]

[crystal3gibson]

Umm...Rob Scott is hilarious - great interview!

[ddrusa]

[daft9punk]

hahaha no he didnt fuck it up....the studio pulled the plug on the film due to financial reasons between universal studios and microsoft so they got mad and said fuck it...and left neill saying "yo what the fuck!!!"

[kakao777]

big money makers mo0ney thinking fuckd up that movie.. I think the companies are more likley to fire them selves then Neil if he would ever considering having anything to do with them again
