Until today I hadn’t heard of District 9, a movie produced by Peter Jackson and directed by first-time director Neill Blomkamp, but now I’m seeing it pop up all over the place. The movie doesn’t see wide-release until August – but I have a feeling we’re going to be hearing a lot more about it before then.
Watch the trailer in HD – and after you do that read my friend Sameer’s thoughts on the movie and the genre it falls into.
I ran into a similarly styled video that also took place in Africa a while back that I think may have been an early viral short for this film. I’m hoping it starts to get some traction in terms of recognition so that it expands to most theaters in the area, otherwise I may not get a chance to see it.
This looks awesome! I am really excited to see a movie that has a ‘trailer’ that doesn’t give away the whole movie.
