Neill Blomkamp, the sci-fi film director better known for District 9, and Chappie, is working on an Anthem project.
This is a live-action short film called Anthem Conviction, which will debut on the Oats Studios YouTube channel tomorrow. Oats is Blomkamp’s outfit, and has produced several impressive shorts for about a year now.
Conviction is an original story, written by Blomkamp, and set in the world of Anthem decades before the events of the main game.
“Conviction sets the stage with a narrative that touches on Anthem’s beautiful and immersive world, which is ripe for exploration by these powerful Javelins. A world where danger is lurking on every ledge and in each valley,” said Blomkamp.
The short will go live on February 14 at 7:30am PT, 10:30am ET, 3:30pm UK at the link above, and you can watch a teaser below:
Neill Blomkamp is no stranger to video game live-action. He famously directed the Halo Landfall live-action short, which is impressive even by today’s standards. For a time, Blomkamp was tapped to direct a full-on, live-action Halo film, but the project never entered production.
