District 9 (The Movie) - General

District 9 is an upcoming movie by Neill Blomkamp, and presented by Peter Jackson. [img]http://imgkk.com/i/Vmwrsh.png[/img] [release][quote]Thirty years ago, aliens made first contact with Earth. Humans waited for the hostile attack, or the giant advances in technology. Neither came. Instead, the aliens were refugees, the last survivors of their home world. The creatures were set up in a makeshift home in South Africa's District 9 as the world's nations argued over what to do with them. Now, patience over the alien situation has run out. Control over the aliens has been contracted out to Multi-National United (MNU), a private company uninterested in the aliens' welfare - they will receive tremendous profits if they can make the aliens' awesome weaponry work. So far, they have failed; activation of the weaponry requires alien DNA. The tension between the aliens and the humans comes to a head when an MNU field operative, Wikus van der Merwe (Sharlto Copley), contracts a mysterious virus that begins changing his DNA. Wikus quickly becomes the most hunted man in the world, as well as the most valuable - he is the key to unlocking the secrets of alien technology. Ostracized and friendless, there is only one place left for him to hide: District 9. [/quote][/release] [release]Is this movie actually a cover-up for the Halo movie? [quote]No. Halo has been suspended indefinitely as of May 2009 due to disagreements over distribution rights. [/quote] There are a few viral sites for the movie which include...

[release][media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZlgtbEdqVsk[/media][/release] Personally, I can't wait for this movie. I love the idea of aliens coming to earth, and having them not kill us all. The aliens seem really halo-like, and that's why I provided the quote above. Rate late if you want to see this movie.

so uh....

It's quite awesome. They have these movie posters all over the cinemas.

It's about Apartheid right? Except aliens?

I gotta see this.

This movie looks great, I can't wait to see it. Neil Blomkamp was *supposed* to do the Halo movie, hopefully this'll show what he's made of.

[QUOTE=0isin,;16379351]See first post.[/QUOTE] Then why make the thread

I didn't know. I searched for "District 9" but nothing came up, so i thought no one made a thread yet. We could merge the threads, as in I put yours in mine?
