Fookin' Squids man.

[1ukjunglednbraver]

district 9 is a great film..they should have alot more films with south african people in the accent rocks

[darthkarr]

WILK!

[fredannett]

The Little CJ character is some amazing CGI. This a great short. No wonder D9 was a great film.. Can you imagine your very first feature gets nominated for an Academy Award ?

[BlackAndWhite9999]

@fredannett Not even one Academy Award - four! One of those being "Best Picture". Think about what an honor it is - your first feature film, out of all the hundreds of films created in 2009, could possibly be named the best film of the year.

[ComingWithStyle]

I like how the bio suits are armed with the gravity gun from Half life 2

[TimmyisDepressing]

Graphics have a very video game feel, very nice.

[DesiBaavo69]

they make is seem like its a documentary...like it has already happened....whoever made this video and into district 9 is a genius...

[Kylev2]

The same people who made this made District 9.

[BAXTSPRCHRGD]

@DesiBaavo69 Neil Blomkamp, him and Peter Jackson were to work on the Halo movie together but after that fell apart they still wanted to work with each other and decided to expand this short film into a full length movie to fufil that want

[YANGJISOO3]

is this the official video or did u just copied this>

where can i see the original one

[KizzFoShizz]

3:50.. Why did the Chicken cross the road?

LOL

[pudekcufsisiht]

To run away from the "poleepkwa" of course, lol.

[GoEatKibbles]

Awesome I love this movie. But is it canon to District 9 or not?

[TetsuoTW]

I'm sorry you're stupid.

[SamShader]

District 9 is a huge step up from this.

[JanaRochido]

Pretty good! Erm... but could anyone subtitle it, please? It would be easier, due to their accent =)

[TetsuoTW]

Sorry you can't deal with non-American accents.

[Poscopic]

3:18

Wikus needs to be saying "fook" more

[Needham90]

@Poscopic

It's not Wikus, same actor but the character is registered as 'Sniper' on imdb.

[ThePipinFonz]

The music from 0:26 to 1:27 is fucking beautiful

[ryanj252]

Ahh my bosses short movie. You should see the deleted stuff. Pity I cant upload it...

[herracunt]

try

[jadooindia]

The budget and the success of D9 should serve as a wake up call to directors like michael bay and george lucas.

This proves that budget needn't be restraint for 'cgi creativity'.

[17thSHIT]

@jadooindia You have to remember that District 9 was filmed in abandoned places. The camera's were low budget and they only used one cgi actor during the whole process. But nevertheless it is a good movie.

[Mottahead]

This short documentary does look like a trailer.

[Deathbringer99699]

so this are the origins to district 9 ?

[Detth2you]

district 9 is based on the short film

[mdmincy]

yes... district 9 is actually an expanded version of this short film... it was pretty much the influence... you even see the main character from district 9 at 3:18

[twinstar33]

30 mil is pocket change br0

[RayzSlingerVids]

sharlto copley did do som great acting....

i dont no if he did, but if he didnt....he really shud hav won a gramy, or an oscar

[RayzSlingerVids]

just shows how much of a dumb dangerous, over curious, un greatful race humans are.

[Scraleontis]

yeh, people see the humans in district 9 movie as the enemy. But real people still act just like in the movie

[centropoblado]

goooooooooooooooooooooood movie distric 9

[FranciscoFreeman]

someone knows how much did he spend doing this short film?

[Alsophocuss]

i don't know how much, but District 9 was about 90 millions. So i guess that it wasn't much for this short film.

[mani1mann]

District 9 cost 30 million dollars to make.

[Alsophocuss]

Yes you are right =) sorry for the wrong answer xD!

[WarmRide666]

90 millions my ass.

D9 cost just 30 million.

[zioo5]

loved district 9, this is awesome too.

[kajeshomat]

3:21 same guy that plays Wikkus in the film?

[NeroBlack2200]

Yes, it is.

[0utlaw7hugz]

@kajeshomat thats marmaduke the a team

[roloug95]

@kajeshomat yeah sharlto copley, top actor

[Chaserdavid]

This is so realistic, so life-close! It's like, if a situation like this happened on Earth, it would happen like this.

Neill Blomkamp is a genius. I love his District 9.

[maadmaan88]

yeah i agree with u, it's really realistic!

[TTxTBeowulf]

[duntkikme66]
