SiM Trailer: District 9

Did my expectations just rise for this film?

Excitement is the purpose of the movie trailer. If you are excited, you may spend your money seeing the film. Every once in a while a movie comes along that is intriguing. It grabs at you and pulls you directly into its own little world. Toss in a aggressive viral marketing campaign and you have yourself a winning formula to get me to see a film! I don't think I have been this excited to see a movie since The Dark Knight.

Director: Neill Blomkamp (Tempbot)
Writer: Neill Blomkamp
Cast: William Allen Young (Moesha), Jason Cope (Doomsday), Sharlto Copley (Alive in Joburg)
Studio: Sony Pictures
Release Date: August 14, 2009

Synopsis: Based off of Blomkamp's own short film Alive in Joburg this feature has kept most of the story hush hush. We know that aliens (called Non-Humans in the film) have landed in South Africa. We don't know how long they have been there or why they came. A soldier working for the MNU (Multi-National United ) goes into District 9 and finds a tube that once activated, sprays a toxic chemical. The chemical covers and turns him half human and half "Non-Human", which makes him a wanted man on both sides. Peter Jackson is one of the producers on this film.
