Interesting..."Scenes from Neill Blomkamp's alien intolerance film, District 9, were screened at ShoWest. We've touched on Blomkamp's brilliant short Alive In Joburg, and D9's immense alien segregation campaign before, but the footage sounds incredibly gripping.
Blomkamp was originally tapped to direct Halo but when that fell through Peter Jackson brought him on to helm this alien-discrimination flick.
District 9 follows the segregation that takes place in Africa when a large UFO lands just above Earth and it's inhabitants are forced to live amongst humans. I'm assuming the cultural divide and fear between the two species is how the poor aliens get stuck in their own quarantined zones, but I guess we'll have to wait and see."
