"District 9" - Behind The Scenes [HD HQ]

[grindigit]

The description is incorrect. Peter Jackson was the producer, not the director. The director was Neil Blomkamp.

[Jordan96CND]

if there is a prequel i want the full interview with the alien and also what happens when they first enter the mothership

[rafaeld101]

This was originally supposed to be a halo movie but they didn't have enough money to make every thing.if your a halo expert you will notice some of the guns from halo

[grindigit]

@rafaeld101 No. District 9 was adapted from Neil Blomkamp's short 'Alive in Joburg', 2005. Although the costume design could have been influenced by the Halo series, among other biomech sources.

[AvengerClanLeader]

I loved the fucking robot scenes he goes beast in that thing!!! Wish he cudda killed all the humans in that. I hope there is another movie. Of how the prowns get rescued

[RetardedAnime]

1.54

LOL WIKUS JUST BITCH SLAPPED CORVUS

[dennisblij]

apple

[Mrshipoopis]

JCFilms13 u asked whut happned in the ending?Wikus NOt VIKUS gets black engine ship fuel in his face he then turnes into a prawn and his wife pops up gets a flower she said'"sumone left this on my doorstep"Then last scene u see a prawn with ripped clothing standing on a pile of trash makin flowers and when he turnes u see the prawns eyes and u can tell its wikus.NOW i think district 10 will be wikus waiting on christopher cause he said it will take 3 years.Then it will show ships coming down.

[ebag10]

trinity by jim dooley :D

[LoveAddictREmix]

FOOKING PRAWNS!

[zoomoo4]

does anyone else think the movie coming out, battle LA looks kinda like the prawns came back am were like "hold on a minute....." and just riped shit up

[AudioVisualMatter]

I wish watchCultretainment would get their shit straight: Neill Blomkamp was the director, but of course the description HAS TO READ: "with director Peter Jackson"! Come on. It's such an easy fact to get right.

[xXxFritzlxXx]

FOOKING PRAWNS!

[sephdl]

best

[Kaaxe]

so what are those smaller centipede like things?

I want more answers then I get

[megamantwelve]

@Kaaxe Maybe they're just pets the Prawns had on they're own planet.

[bojan2503]

This movie is real masterpiece. Waiting for sequel.

[michyluvsBnE]

@bojan2503 I hear you my friend, is completely genius!

[ramnbrizzie]

observe entire edition of this particular film here in avatz ... net change ... to .

[Skywalker91]

I love how the prawns talk, and how they and humans can understand each other fluently after less than thirty years together.

[SMilEy19931000]

thats fucked up they just whanted too go home

[XxStopherLixX]

shut up whore. stupid advertisements lol

[YouMacmads]

Peter Jackson isn't the director, Neill Blomkamp is. PJ is the producer. give it back to Caesar.

[dEsSiCaTa]

Anyone else notice that the scene in the thumbnail of this video wasnt in the film and wasnt in the deleted scenes?

Special edition anyone?

[ArmourExe]

The True Film of 2009 Avatar is childs play compared to this!

[lexen]

I need PART 2!!!

[ultrahamster9000]

One of my favorite movies.

[Rampagedd]

the sad thing is this would probs be true to life if aliens did land. you would get some shady government agency torture them and of course take their weapons and technology away without their concent ect.

[ajbsb69]

@Rampagedd That's why this movie made me cry. That is so true.. -_-

[MurdocLC]

Peter Jackson wasent the director, he was the producer.

[manbir911]

hey do u people really want the sequal??????? its the sad ending that makes it different ,movies can hav sad endings, and dats wat d9 has proved

[YoUShalLFeArMe2]

oh man..i hope they make a sequel to this... o3o

this movie KICKED SO MUCH ASS!!!

great job Peter Jackson

[Rampagedd]

@YoUShalLFeArMe2 they chances are there will be a sequel, they had a budget of 30m, and made 200m. so it did well! although they've said it wil be years still before its out. 2011-2012

[ArbyJSS117]

what part is 1:18 in the film?

[Mcblaze50]

0:42 the alian was pised because he was geting ivicteed

[ohhhprettylight]

District 9 should've won best picture NOT the hurt locker

[notsocomicaltv]

@ohhhprettylight it had fantastic graphics, but the story, cinematography and messages behind the hurt locker made it a better film.

[lemonpimp1]

@ohhhprettylight or any thing other than the hurt locker lol

[lordeppiothe1]

@ohhhprettylight have you seen hurt locker? i mean ok, on animation,story etc etc distrrict 9 was better but hurt locker shows things as they rlly are

[Jamesride101]

@lordeppiothe1 The irony has always been that science fiction is more of the way "things rlly are" than any other "baced on" or "inspired by" "true story".  Of course this irony has nothing to do with Hurt locker being plain boring and forgettable.

[vernemszalka]

@ohhhprettylight wrong

[Midnighter169]

@ohhhprettylight how was hurt locker?

[marneebox]

@ohhhprettylight no Avatar should have. Avatar was more memorable than any of the films nominated that year. They were all good but not as memorable as Avatar.

[imakontralto]

SAVE THE PRAWNS!!!

[crazysniperkid]

its amazing how everything can change so fast

[logotgr]

Sharlto Copley is up for Sci-Fi Actor and District 9 is up for Sci-Fi film at the Teen Choice Awards. I know it's no Oscar but D9 and especially Sharlto deserve at least one award commemorating their work. It'd be great if people went to the TCA site and voted once a day.

[tobbe971]

i just love this movie. its a very sad story. but humans always wants more power and its sad. i wouldnt want to be human if this would happen for real.

[MyMonksPetSkink]

1:19 is NOT in the movie i watched it about 5 mins ago and it is NOT there. Answer plz?

[SHOUT4FUN]

@MyMonksPetSkink Read The Title Of This Vidoe Again.

[Impactfilms1337]

@MyMonksPetSkink it was just for the trailer

[goranification]

Spawn languaje:

flarogni = flarogni

Sonofabicth = Son of an insect

Idontgetyuofreak = WTF??

That's all for today's class.

[MizzGeeAmeeko]

I saw the movie last night for a second time.. so why does it feel like there were scenes in this clip that I've never seen before?

Anyways, I do hope they make a sequel! that would be neat

[OneHandOrigami]

Did anyone notice the sneaky apple logo in the bottom right corner?

[bleachsmoker]

it was a kick ass movie, especially the mecha pig throw

they say fuck like fifty times in the movie though. I'm not for censorship, but the word loses it's significance if you over use it.

[iansquared3]

i really cant imagine if this REALLY happened. i feel like reactions to the aliens would be much more harsh and different than shown in this movie. still a great movie though,

[jojonr619]

THEY DEFIANTLY NEED TO MAKE A SEQUEL!!

i just want a happy ending for wikus

[Isadrierian]

@jojonr619 i think they are, both the lead actor Shalto and Neil said if it got good reception (which it did) they would be willing to make a sequal, thos The soonest it could be finished would be 2012 due to their current engagements

[DarkExternalHeart]

The alien were the last survivor of their planet, then why the alien at the end of the movie goes back to his planet??

[undenohr]

he played this role so excellent (wikus)

[crucialconflict02]

this movie was pretty good.

[AboDi22lalala]

Thinking out of the box .. he recreated the aliens , avoided typical hollywood aliens

[ZingZingZingBah]

I really want to see deleted scenes.... 2:18 AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!

[EBCism]

i love the prawn as well. They mean no harm to so why do we harm them??

[co0lerthanu]

i loved this movie... even if they came as refugees, we should remember that if they have interstellar travel, then when christopher comes back the are gonna kick our soft, endoskelotonic asses

[rainzoro]

truly talented director. never heard of him but i assure that i am impressed and remember that name for the next district10

[ihopeutubedies]

They are definetley making the sequel ha? They should also make a pre quel of how they came to planet earth and why. On the movie description it said that the aliens that were stranded on earth were the last survivors of their home planet, so I don't know. Hope Christopher goes back with a legion of their own soldiers and fucks up everyone in charge of MNU!

[Lvduggo69]

I would do annything to change back to human so I could go back to my wife Vanessa Haywood , what a fox !

Please make part 2 ! Just so I can see her !

[dicanioisking]

one of the best films i have ever seen,cryed for about 10mins after so sad..........

[TheLobsterOfFate]

I love peter jackson for this movie !

[therealsauce]

aaaaaaaaaaa

[yopeepee]

The bit at 2:17 aint in the movie

[TheLobsterOfFate]

@yopeepee Yeah they filmed some scenes for the trailer so no spoilers and to make it look good

[apterepek]

what is the use of white board??

[JohnSelma]

@apterepek In filming by natural light, people and objects that are being filmed are not always illuminated adequately from the right direction. The answer is the white board.

[TOMKARTY]

ever since i watched this i have been speaking in a south african accent! this is film is so good!

[RTzombie]

peter jackson looks like a hobo i saw outside a walmart once lol but great movie.

[nooch387]

brilliant movie! check out my page for some funny videos

[githpj]

BEST MOVIE EVAH!

[mullenb2]

stupid fucking prawns

[Kirbylivnewton]

The 'stupid fucking prawns' are 400 million years ahead of human technology. :)

[Obinotus17]

the mech he found at he end of the film is pretty good

[Affekong]

pretty good?

the mech kicks ass!

[bigmac2009able]

They are gonna call the first camp Hotel California

[topknot01]

fuck u two below

[thehappyhermitcrab]

Best movie iv ever seen.

[Spinoraptorrex]

I want to see the directors cut for this (awesome) movie.

[Alexandra947]

The ending is sooo good!! It's soo sad tho. It made me cry :') great movie!!!!!! 6/5 can't wait for the sequel!!

[MrSkaterJL]

@Alexandra947 what,s the ending

[dicanioisking]

@MrSkaterJL he turns into a prawn completely and is on his own

[Emeianoite]

@MrSkaterJL They all die in the end.

[crazysniperkid]

@Alexandra947 its a cliffhanger, no sequel thats why critics say "leaves you guessing" my theory is that wikus transformed completely and he was the prawn at the end

[Eidlones]

@Alexandra947 I dont want a sequel. It doesnt need one, it should remain a single movie.

[Skywalker91]

@Eidlones - Well, you don't need to see it. ;)

As for me though, I want to see what happens to Wikus. And the prawns technology was some pretty sweet stuff...

[damtachoa]

How about "District 9 - Declare War" from alien?

[Hjernespreng]

@damtachoa

I doubt "Christoper" would declare war on humanity.

He would probably try to negotiate so that his people could be handed back to him and then to get to "fix" Wikus.

[devilhunterred]

That would make a pretty dull sequel.....

[carterslave]

what if its to late to change wikus back

[Hjernespreng]

@carterslave

Well, he said he would be able to change it back.

[xexoy2]

I just saw the movie today and from what I can tell some of the scenes in this video aren't in the movie unless I saw some cut movie and there's and Uncut one, but I didn't think there was a cut one. Is there?

[pizza206]

yes i think that too, they kind of cut some scenes like i can tell i never saw that 1:32 alien and he never hit the other in 1:55.

Nevertheless, the movie is awesome !!

[IxUnseenXl]

called a deleted scene :)

[elbonja]

@pizza206 Those are alternative scenes...At least thats what I think...

[bestyno1]

something like this will happen mark my words

[mvwil]

no

o

o

[truvelocity]

It already did.  We did this to our own on Earth. Camps. Racism. You name it, if a movie shows a sci-fi doing it to aliens, we already did it to ourselves. Where else do the stories come from?

[bestyno1]

tru tru

[aniwufa]

@truvelocity

That's the true meaning of this film and i am doubtful that many people can figure it out.

[rilosafe1]

@truvelocity yehh maybe this movie has a secret meaning and is linked to parts of history like that, racism etc. maybe not, could just be me being weird...

[truvelocity]

I don't think its a secret meaning, I think its staring us right in the face. Stories come from man's imagination, period. You can't write about anything without grabbing from human experience. They represent camps, like what we did to the American Japanese during WWII or African Apartide or the list goes on. Its just human nature to dehumanize those who we don't want to mix with, like Indian reservations America or Aborigine reservations in Australia with really summy housing and poverty.

[bigmac2009able]

Yes i agree but am i in your camp or are you in mine jk its gonna be fema camps soon they have them they just want to fill them

[xx54DaNcEcReW45xx]

really hope they make a district 10 in the future!@@##$#%$^%&^&

[Member01289]

The way the movie ended... I KNOW there is going to be a District 10 in the future.What'dya think? He changes his mind about being human again? eh?

[spamcritic]

@Member01289

i gurantee district 10 would suck cock... district 9 was too good to be matched

[tokman20]

@spamcritic but you would still watch it :D

[cccplt]

this move and the movie avitar have the same message only thing is that this movie is much better

[Nomak020186]

@cccplt haha.....jerk... better??? my asss

[icyhell1]

I keep lmfao when the alien smacks the eviction notice out of the guys hands.

[Ro010]

Awesome film. Its original and realistic. 5/5. I hope they wont mess up with the sequel.

[Mechanicaldrugs98]

damn eviction notice

[zairuku]

I want to learn their language, i love the prawn, and yet i wonder. Why the fuck am i part of this human race, i think completely differencetly to most, if aliens did come here in need of help, god i would learn their language and help the best i could. Proving my point, the humans desire for alien weapons in this movie + killing innocent prawn against the will of a human who is doing . I don't see myself supirior for beign able to think differently.This movie has strong messeges,i hope u listen

[obliviousbullet]

@zairuku Alright settle down its just a film. If aliens did come here we would be screwed take a look at history. What happens when a more advanced civilisation meets a less developed one? exploitation!

[zairuku]

@obliviousbullet basicly my point exactly, just less accusive of the human race : )

[Direksone]

@zairuku the killing of innocent has always been and always will be im afraid..

[gruntsquad121]

@zairuku same here...i though i was the only 1

[zairuku]

@gruntsquad121 Ahh, the wonders of youtube...i've met a fair few people that share very un-common values in the world on here...glad you think the same to, welcome to Uniqueness my freind : )

[gruntsquad121]

@zairuku with honor :)

[PowerSprinter]

@zairuku dude, how can you dislike humans and use a false plot as your reasoning.

[zairuku]

@PowerSprinter A fair point. This is probably one of the if not THE lesser reason for me not liking the human race, or feeling much part of it for that matter. But i still realise i'm human and it's tuff titties, and i highly doubt people looking at this video want my life story and reasons for not liking the human race. Yes we can be creative and very interesting, but the general populous are complete and utter ( whatever word you deem appropriate)... like i said, i have A LOT of reasons.

[EmperorChupacabra]

Too...much...Spam! What do any of your comments have to do with this video?

FOOKIN PRAWNS!!!

[Sahtastic]

cool movie.

[lilbrothaaa]

These fucking lobsters look so real, they must have bred the species for the movie! Is the close-up at 1:25 animatronic?

[scorpionboxer]

@lilbrothaaa no a humin with a suit with the dots on it

[HuntedStr3]

the funny thing is that the aliens can easily rebel against us and destroy all of the humans i mean look what 1 alien and wikus did to the mnu corp. building (they took out at least 20-30 guys) also wikus owned 20 of the african gang members with like 3 shots. also at the end when the jackass soldier was about to kill wikus, 10 aliens pop out and fucking rip him into 5 pieces.

[midian11]

@HuntedStr3

But you are kinda missing the big picture as in the whole planet with huge missels that can blow the whole camp to nothingness. They couldn't go to their ship so they would die in a very short time.

[HuntedStr3]

yeah thats true but all im saying is that they were pretty badass and i think they would end up losing but they would take out a lot of people. also i looked pass the fact that it would be the whole world (6 billion people) against the prawns (1.5-1.8 million). pretty big ratio per person there

[scorpionboxer]

@HuntedStr3 prawns lay 52 eggs in a small ass shack in the movie the lil prawn said ther planet was bigger so the probly habe more prawns

[k1lkenny]

@HuntedStr3

It's quite clear through the film that they lack leadership, these ones only being workers, kinda like ants, they cant rally or do organized things without leaders.

[MySabiAndRafi]

oi stop trying to be some fucking smart ass on youtube you low life!!!!!!!

[ddandyy]

i agree.this movie was so origional,and thought provoking.very well done!

[MordenWarfare]

buying the DVD

[HALFORDISYOURGOD]

One of the best movies i have ever seen cant wait for the next one!

[sky911019]

i really wish aliens come to earth

[maxii95]

this film is awesome. just watched it. a little upsetting. i hope there will be another one.

[kilibot]

this movie grabs you so tight that it's just amazing

[LemonadeRabbit]

awesome movie.really unique plot, because most alien movies always have it so that the aliens invade earth and try to take it over. this movie is almost the opposite. if you havent seen it, youve gota go get it. definately one the most awesome movies ive seen

[ZileyJileyNiley]

I really liked the movie but the humas were very mean to the aliens.Poor aliens.

[fronalman]

@ZileyJileyNiley Word man... i was wishing i could go into the screen and rip the bad guys head off! and i dont mean the one he has attached to his neck!

[ZileyJileyNiley]

Haha LOL nice

[HamJam321]

I was so mad when they made vicus shoot the poor, innocent alien with a gun. Sooooo mest up, man!

[ShadowKey101]

easily the best movie of 09, truly a masterpeice.

[Stickelmas]

i loved this movie i liked the part wen that bald guy shot the rocket launcher and vic or wat his name is cout the bullit

[seanpwns04]

Lets fix your mistakes. "I loved this movie. I liked the part when the bald guy shot the rocket launcher and Vikus, or what his name is caught the bullet."

[ATHFguy]

@seanpwns04 His name is Wikus.

[AnimatorDave]

This movie is really trying to tell you what it might be like if aliens did actually enter our planet. I personally thought this movie was very good and absolutley correct after just watching it 6 minutes ago. I was on the prawn's side the whole time. Just because they look different and act different doesn't mean we need to treat any species like this. They never acted hostile towards us until we began to segregate against them. This movie is a 10/10, that's all there is to it.

[LPRazoredOut14]

Thank you I feel the same exact way.

[olddognewtrackz]

i like the aliens but they could have crushed the humans with there big ass mother ship lol XD

[Kuya1991]

This movie made me sad...

[WinterKingdomWolves]

The best movie of 09 hands down!

[The2ndbrother]

the movie was cool but there was a lOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT of blood

[jomo999]

avatar had great effects but its story was as deep as a children's picturebook in comparison with District 9's profoundness.

Not to mention Sharlto Copely's astonishing debut performance which deserves an oscar nod.

[ChibiPoweredDeath]

That movie was fucking epic. Even though I have a weak stomach, and I felt sick through the whole thing...I LOVED that movie.

[zamora543]

i no huh it should be pg-13

WHY IS IT RATED R
