Film Goddamn—District 9 Looks Fucking Great.
Posted by Erik Henriksen on Wed, Jul 8, 2009 at 6:44 PM
District 9 —director Neill Blomkamp's first feature, and one inspired by his kickass short Alive in Joburg—is a film I can't wait to see. A short teaser came out a little while ago; today, a longer trailer hit the internet. It's bigger and louder than the last one, and it gives a far better idea as to how District 9 will flesh out and play off of the ideas established in Alive in Joburg. It's also just kind of insane—weird and cool and intriguing and sad and unexpectedly action-y—and fucking A, I just want it to be on a movie screen in front of me already.
Crappy YouTube below, HD here. (Seriously, do yourself a favor and watch it in HD.)
