In case you missed our previous posts, we held our very first joint screening in New York City with the fine folks at Complex this week. Not only did our ticket winners get to see Chappie a few days early, but they also got to be part of a Q&A with writer-director Neill Blomkamp, producer Simon Kinberg and stars Hugh Jackman, Sharlto Copley, Sigourney Weaver and Dev Patel before the screening.

We had an absolute blast with the group giving away Chappie t-shirts, talking about Jackman's mullet, seeing Copley show off his beloved custom-made VFX t-shirt and more. If you weren't able to catch the discussion in person, we've got a brief highlight video from the event featuring the whole gang talking about their most unforgettable memories from making Chappie below. You can give that a watch and if you’re still bummed you missed out on this screening and Q&A, don’t worry because we've got high hopes we’ll have the opportunity to host similar events in the near future.

Thanks to everyone who joined us at the Chappie screening this week. The movie hits theaters nationwide today. Check out the Q&A video and some photos from our event below.

Here’s the official synopsis for Chappie:

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.
