Neill Blomkamp refused to use camera tricks to disguise Archie Madekwe's height in 'Gran Turismo'. The actor was cast as gamer-turned-racing driver Jann Mardenborough in the film but director Neill soon found out the actor was much taller than his real life counterpart - but he decided he didn't want to cover up the discrepancy because he can't stand "overly manicured fakeness" in films.

My whole approach is just to try to be as...

The 43-year-old director is helming the upcoming movie based on the PlayStation racing video game series and believes it is a different challenge to the kind of films he usually makes.

Neill Blomkamp doubts that his 'Alien' film will ever be released. The 41-year-old director had been planning a movie in the iconic sci-fi series with star Sigourney Weaver but plans fizzled out when original director Sir Ridley Scott returned to the franchise with his prequels 'Prometheus' and 'Alien: Covenant' which explored the origins of the deadly Xenomorph.
