“Chappie! Finally a movie that lets us unleash a completely Elekronik Musik score,” said Zimmer. “A director who encourages us mad boffins to drag out forty-year old analogue synthesizers and lets us spend days fiddling in lab-coats with patch-cables, blowing up valves and transistors … Steve Mazzaro, Andrew K., Andy Page, Ed Buller, Michael Tritter, Rich Walters, Junkie XL and a chap whistling … Ladies and Gentlemen, I’d like to present to you The Chappie Elektrik Synthphonia!”
Hans Zimmer has scored more than 120 films, which have, combined, grossed over 24 billion dollars at the worldwide box office.

From the director of District 9, Neill Blomkamp, comes CHAPPIE, starring Sharlto Copley, Dev Patel, with Sigourney Weaver and Hugh Jackman.
In the near future, crime is patrolled by an oppressive mechanized police force. But now, the people are fighting back. When one police droid, Chappie, is stolen and given new programming, he becomes the first robot with the ability to think and feel for himself. As powerful, destructive forces start to see Chappie as a danger to mankind and order, they will stop at nothing to maintain the status quo and ensure that Chappie is the last of his kind.
CHAPPIE opens in theaters and IMAX on Friday, March 6.
