Oats Studios
Yet another original short film from Oats Studios and Neill Blomkamp , titledAdam : The Mirror , has been release online . Blomkamp ’s calling has taken an interesting twist since his herald first movieDistrict 9 . That film draw rave for its unequaled style , fleshed out sci - fi reality and Sharlto Copley ’s lead go . unhappily , the director ’s next two movie projects go to take in the same congratulations .
Elysiumhad a great hope , strong cast and healthy budget , but the book left a hatful to be desired ; Blomkamp himself has since accept it did n’t quite work . Chappiealso attracted defective reviews for its jarring tonal shifts and over the top acting - though the film has become something of a rage point now . Blomkamp has since set up his own studio apartment , which he dubbed Oats Studios . He ’s since expel a number of gamy - concept short films online through the banner , from the apocalypticRakkato monster movieZygote .
Now the latest short fromOats Studios- titledAdam : The Mirror- has decease online . The film is actually a sequel to 2016’sAdam , a scant contrive to showcase the graphic power of the Unity game engine . Adam’sstory involves a human whose Einstein has been wiped and place inside a robot plate ; he and a gang of captive are then exile from a walled futuristic city and rescue by a deep foreigner . The Mirrorpicks up from the pilot ’s cliffhanger , where Adam get a line more of his past .
It ’s an challenging , visually rich film , and another chapter dubbedThe Prophetwill be arrive soon . Blomkamp seems to have chance his originative mojo outside the studio system of rules , if the work he ’s producing at Oats is any indication . It allows him to chute from the grim sci - fi ofRakkato the featherbrained comedy ofCooking With Bill , and since the underdrawers are self - finance he does n’t have to rein himself in .
The future of Oats appears uncertain for now . The director took it upon himself to set up the studio and produce his own work , but he never had a solid plan for how it would turn a net profit . Several of the films are give candid for sequels or even feature adaptations , but there does n’t seem to be any dynamic developments right now .
On the feature of speech side , Blomkamp was famously attached to a plannedAliensequelthat would have brought back Sigourney Weaver ’s Ripley , and work as a “ true ” continuation to the first twoAlienmovies . Since that project was scrapped in favor of continuing Ridley Scott ’s visual sensation of the dealership , Blomkamp ’s next feature - distance cinema now looks to beThe Gone World , based on the prison term travelling novel of the same name . That picture does n’t presently have a release date , but Blomkamp ’s next shortAdam : The Prophetis expect to arrive online before the last of the twelvemonth .
