Die Antwoord, who have always sort of seemed like a sci-fi project, will reportedly be starring in a sci-fi film. According to South African publication Die Burger (via the Playlist), Yo-Landi Vi$$er and Ninja will play themselves in the lead roles of Chappie, a "sci-fi comedy" from Neill Blomkamp (the South African filmmaker behind District 9 and the upcoming Elysium).

Not many details about Chappie have been revealed yet, but Blomkamp told the Playlist last year that, "It's like fundamentally more simple story, a comedy, a heartfelt story, in a science fiction setting. And it's fucking hilarious... It's a smaller film, a more esoteric one."

Die Antwoord's Ninja also told Die Burger that the movie, which is tentatively scheduled to begin shooting in Johannesburg in September, has a budget of about $50 million. And: Die Antwoord's next album, Dark Force, will be out in February of 2014, apparently.

Yo-Landi Vi$$er was previously offered the role of Lisbeth Salander in David Fincher's adaptation of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, but she turned it down.
