Yea that looks good; hope it retains the crude docu-style of Alive in Johannesburg.

Mark Dygert

Looks cool, might be a bit preachy about xenophobia, but I bet its entertaining.

Thegodzero

another good scifi? I was rather looking forward to his halo, but this will do at least its a full movie from him.

I don't know why but the design of the alien reminded me of the way they describe the buggers in Enders Game. Only his aliens talk...

John Warner

IMO this looks much better than i could imagine halo being.. but.. i fucking hate halo.

I've got a good friend who's working on the visual effects for this badboy, and has worked with Neil before. Apparently he's a great guy.

John... Jelmer?

Slum

Yup, polycount's own Jelmer Boskma! http://www.jelmerboskma.com/resume.html

Also, Neil Blomkamp is absolutely my favorite filmmaker. I'm really glad somebody decided to drop some cash and do Alive in Joburg the justice it deserves. Definitely my most anticipated film of the year.

Cojax

Wow. Never even heard of this. Looks great!

Tumerboy

Dude, I love his stuff. I wasn't excited for Halo because it was Halo, but because he was going to be in charge of it. I really hope he keeps his documentary feel in this one. That would be amazing.

Something bothers me about this, the short was really cool... But this, i dont know. Its almost like the production values are too high, and its just killing it for me. Give me some shity ass poorly compressed youtube feed!

JasonLavoie

Just saw the trailer today, quite excited, was hoping the aliens looked a bit more... furked up.

Yea, I thought the same thing. What really got me interested in the short was how crude, and believable, it was. That scene in the trailer where they are interrogating the alien seemed too clich

Joshua Stubbles

The alien bothers me. It looks like a freakin cockroach.

Not Jelmer, actually, but I like him too.

I was talking about Dan Prentice, who worked with Neil over at the embassy VFX...

Asherr

trailer was in front of Wolverine and was pretty awesome. when it came up 'they are not.... human' some guy a couple rows back from went "whaaaat?"

Spug

Anything Peter Jackson produces....i follow with no hesitation. Its going to be very good.

Sage

this looks very interesting.

glynnsmith

Movie trailers are more impressive when that Cliff Martinez track plays in the background.

Fact.

fast1

nice, thanks for the share.

rjhalvorson

Great post. That has got me pumped.

Mental_Hernia

Awesome! I remember seeing that short/teaser when it came out. Looks like it could be a good'n

I_luv_Pixels

have any of u guys seen the previous Jackson and Blomkamp team up movie??

Crossing the Line

its like a WW1 epic

Sweet new District 9 trailer!!!!

http://io9.com/5310402/the-aliens-of-district-9-take-action-in-new-full-length-trailer

whats_true

And were not letting them leave because....?

I mean, they have a ship. Just, take off? With their technology, couldn't they take out a few ICBM's trying to shoot them out of the sky?

Microneezia

Im excited for this movie, but actually that adicolor Pink wins this whole thread...

Asherr

saw a tv commercial for this yesterday. made the movie look like the stupid "Would you like to know more?" segments in Starship Troopers.

Tumerboy

can't wait!

Junkie_XL

That Citroen C4 commercial is always how I thought the Transformers movies should look. You can actually identify that it transformed from a car. Instead Michael Bay approved designs that look like walking piles of garbage.

SHEPEIRO

cant wait for this one

Haa, yeah. Solaris. I'm with EQ and Eraserhead, hardcore... hopefully the film can either live up to AiJ or branch off in some other direction and hit a theme the short couldn't. If it's just a longer, cliche'd version in HD, meh. Still interested at this point.

killingpeople

yeah i just saw this shit! looks intense! my kind of shit.

Sage

why didn't this guy do terminator salvation and transformers... and before you smart asses say because they don't direct crap, I'm just saying.... the shots in the trailer look great... just saying

TheZeke

I just saw District 9 and it was fantastic. Some amazing weapons, creatures, and the mech suit was spectacular.

Is any of the concept art online? I really want a closer look at that mech!

Let's try to keep conversations about District 9 in the current thread here: http://boards.polycount.net/showthread.php?t=64862 instead of resurrecting old ones.
