Title: District 9 updated with Youtube video Post by: trekgeezer on June 16, 2009, 07:33:31 AM Did anyone else see the trailer for this? It looks pretty interesting and there is a big viral campaign going on for it.
The director, Neill Blomkamp, was picked by Peter Jackson to direct the HALO movie a couple of years ago, but this was nixed by the studio. There is speculation that this movie is a trial project for Blomkamp, who previously was a commercial director. Also, like THX1138, this is an extended version of short film the director made. I also wonder if Trevor knows anything about this film, it was made in South Africa.
