Neill Blomkamp's "Alive In Joburg" (2005)

[96lagos]

This is District 9 ??

[jetpoweredgriffin]

@96lagos

This was the preliminary version of District 9.

Same Director.

[Bacopa68]

Why did they ever go for a Halo movie what they had this treasure laying around?

I'm so glad the Halo movie failed.

[cappachino]

This guy is a true visionary. Looking forward to Elysium

[MrEHollo]

We need more directors like Neill..

[Advancedgod]

I like how realistic this and District 9 feel. Sure the aliens are once again impossibly humanoid, but the social and political motives behind it all are so well thought out that this movie is easily one of the best I've seen.

[Thunda1986]

this looks cheap and that big suit thing looks like something outta power rnagers pretty bad CG but this is really good

[Slayah7]

I watche D9 three times... this week its fuckin amazing!

[chakravarthisai]

AWESOME.....

[MachineBeast111]

[Fischfluessigkeit]

@MachineBeast111 yep, that's our guy ;) that's Sharlto Copley. he's gorgeous, isn't he?

[specter6561]

@MachineBeast111

[CausesSideEffects]

D) is and awsome movie.. one of the most creative ways of translating a good idea into a motion picture.. thumbs up

[rofideo]

Am glad to see a good director has a chance to give a big pump to their carer.

Talent must be recognized.

Keep the good work.

One day I will work with they :D

[unimogi]

D9 is exceptional movei and will give nice name for neill

[basilbus72]

Saw D9 last night possibly one of the best films i have ever seen.

[oblivion3104]

d9 was awsome, and was it not mr blomkamp who was supposed to make the halo movie? from what i have seen for halo move d9, and halo movie stuff are soooo similar. like the marines, location, both are in africa, ect

[vigilante1294]

yea he was but he chose 2 make D9 instead

[sagilian]

it was because the halo film's funding failed, so peter jackson and neil went for D9

[lornetvestal]

This movie draws on human parallels of the suffering that poor refugees go through in our own real world. Instead of giving people the equal opportunities needed to achieve a greater social life, they are exploited by governments and corporations for profit. This movie will be amazing, far better than Terminator!

[Kikefriki]

An awesome short film. Simply awesome.

THIS IS AN IMPORTANT MNU CALL-OUT:

Notable confrontations of Non-Humans have been started with Humans. MNU products, such as Bug's Ear Online Translator, will not be sold to Non-Humans from July 12th 2009 to August 12th, 2010.

Thank you, and have a safe time in District 9.

[Joesniff777]

MNU, listen to me and my kind. Listen to how we are the same. One day we will be living in peace, but not today. You can not do this. MNU will get their's one day, and you will see.

[tonkalachuga101]

[NakedScooter]

Awesome!

[adamk22]

I love the shot with the vodacom tower, just amazing..

[LoftyArts]

This is intriguing! I'm looking forward to see this film someday. ;>D {Thanks, Israel!}

[Phlikone]

Uh...that IS the film. It's just a short film. The movie based on this film is coming out this summer called "District 9".

[LoftyArts]

Thanks for the heads up. Hahaha! ;>P

[qwerki666]

[jnwmom]

Impressive and mesmerizing. I look forward to the film and to the controversial spin it will create.

[salve87]

Amazing. Cannot wait for the film. Great work!
