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.

Here's the short film, Alive in Joburg that the movie is based on





And you thought Trek isn't cool.
