Before Sharlto Copley shot to fame with the success of District 9, and long before he was cast as Howling Mad Murdock in the The A-Team, he and his business partner Simon Hansen did odd jobs in the film industry together. Whether funding projects as producers, or working on special effects. Both were credited as producers on District 9′s precurser Alive in Joburg and were involved with the special effects. Hansen was also involved behind the scenes on District 9 as well, credited as directing the street interview segments.
It was only a matter of time before the two co-directed a feature-length film together. Called Spoon, it’s a supernatural thriller with British TV actor Darren Boyd (Green Wing, Saxondale, Smack the Pony) & Rutger Hauer. The teaser trailer has been released to set things off and by all accounts “Sharlto + Creepy Thriller + Rutger Hauer” it looks set to be a hit.
