So what's the deal with these? Will they be completed if they get enough donations or something?

Between that and youtube add revenue it might be a pretty legit strat. Combining 6 of these into a free form narrated movie that gives no fucks about actual character building or arcs would be awesome.

As a director I feel Blomkamp almost suffers for Zach Snyder Syndrome at times (all show, no go), but at the same time I really feel gritty sci-fi is his niche and if he can get some help with writing, he has an amazing eye for how to portray those stories. District 9 is one of my favorites and Elysium isn't as bad as a lot of people claim it to be. I'm sad his take on the Alien franchise was pushed and he hasn't been askled to do a Halo movie (or Warhammer 40k what!?). I have enjoyed these shorts for sure, interested to see where this goes.

Chappie director says he’s not looking to rip fans off with new project, will compensate contributors
Some more information in there with his goals for these projects.
Every article is pretty much the same though. He wants to do more sure but isnt committing to anything

Am I the only one that thought the "angels" in Rakka actually looked kind of like demons?
Other than the obvious black/dark vs white/light aspect, which is almost universally used, I was hoping we'd perhaps "sell our souls" (metaphorically) to the light guys for help, only to find out they were way worse than the dark guys. I mean, cool as that short was (and it was great), if it basically comes down to good vs. evil, not only is that nothing special, but it doesn't really strike me as the type of trite message Blomkamp would send in a movie of his creation.

Did they at least shoot on location in Syria for this?
Or is this just more green-screened garbage. I've been waiting for a movie to head out to the East ever since the Syrian who-dunnit Inescapable back in 2012. Great movie on location in Lebanon by the way.

Pretty much, it not being shot on location doesn't rate at all on things I give a shit about.
