[RedbullFashion]

Someone know the name of the music at the beginning ?

sorry for my english

[nusua]

actually yout english is quite nice

[godzillarules1054]

either the alien squids turned into alien bugs when d9 came out, or these guys left and different ones came.

[ialove93]

the interviews were real South Africans talking about zimbabwean "aliens", according to wikipedia

[scrapesmagepvp]

what the fuck is this shit real ?

[sterance2]

Are you serious?...

[diveplane]

this movie looks good .

[pepe0988]

what is this supos to be?

Africa is so Dead they made this video for?

lets jist say Africa was there lol

[HaloMonkeys]

wow, anybody else think this is how BSG should have ended?

[Darusdei]

the bsg ending was pretty lame and predictable :(

[DGB85]

No way, we don't need BSG 1980 again.

[MrTanman69]

Why is everybody so mean to the aliens! They're refuges. Thier home was destroyed. They are peaceful. Us humans are going to have to leave earth one day, and what if we land on thier planet? They'll make us live in alien sludge. That;s why if peaceful aliens come as refuges, i'll sneak them food. Then i'll be in charge. LOL

[madhouse221]

The movie is not like that. The humans are very 'mean' to the aliens but they already have food and supplies to just barely live.

[TreatTheSickness]

Have recently adapted and evolved in their 28 yearas of living? Now they have smaller dangly mouthpieces and take a look similar to insects.

[Euroman25]

they gay at 3:32 isn't that the same guy who is the hero in District 9?

[TinnedWaffles]

sounds like him

[pacloro]

im a human but because of wat ive seen.....i am on tha aliens side....i would like to see humans suffer at ha end of thiz movie...THEY COME IN PEACE PEOPLE!!!

[bridgesfu]

lol ... you know this is not real, right?....

[pacloro]

i khow im shus playin.....damn ya cant take a joke!!!! youtube people diz dayz!!!!

[roflchips1]

you know what this makes me sad :(

the aliens want to leave but the humans wont let them :(

[alexminishows]

woah woah when tht was a alien i thought that was rosy o donald

[maujo2009]

Excellent concept!

[glitchez]

i totally agree, this is an awesome unique idea. its crazy but i love it.

[suprabuddha]

The out-worlders must leave this star system!! Save the blessed earth join the HUMANS first movement.

[scarysasquach]

this is so fuckin stupid. At least make the aliens look and sound better. And whats up with the shit sticking out of the mouth??

They are suppost to be insects, not some fucked up elephants..

[mark84j]

This wasn't a hollywood funded feature film. For a short and independent film, it's amazing.

[masterpiraka]

Dumbass, this is the short indie film that the movie is based on.

Fucking idiot.

[PrinceDimeXI]

they came back home to visit there friends and Africa and found the world has been torn into SHARDS. hmmmm i wonder why

[PrinceDimeXI]

lol i would be afriad to let them go back home they would come back and liquidate us.

[lukecarelsen]

before anyone makes another comment please read up on Xenophobia, and the xenophobic attacks in South Africa.

The director is South Africa, they speak Afrikaans and zulu in alive in joburg. common am i like the only person that actually sees the resemblance here???

[LgclanSauron]

no.I hope not.Maybe those stupid american popcorn movie watchers cant see the resemblance

[Madonkadonk]

you do realized you made a racist comment right there trying to defend a movie that is anti-racism.

[Qp0wer]

totally frigin epic i saw this about 2 years ago and was like......wow then i saw the trailer for the new movie and was like ............WOW so im rly excited

[monos70]

It will be a sad movie about how Governments outcast others due to their religion, race, but in this case aliens.

[893l]

Its not just the government though. Notice how the citizens complain because of the differences. That old lady complained that rape and murder started happening after they arrived; even the citizens are using the aliens as scapegoats for already existing problems.

[silverbeast75]

u notice how they shoot him first and then he starts throwing cars.....hes defending him self

[assassinso]

I don't understand.

[O2311]

Holy shit!

2:30 Is this real?

[dthibds]

dude this is based on true events from the year 1990

[O2311]

Wow.

[Rundleguy]

lol omfg your not serious are you

[dthibds]

ofcourse im srs bro

[StrixProductions]

poor aliens

[yoganyog]

and the government will keep it a secret until they cant because nobody wants to prove the religous people wrong. and the religous people would be the ones to enslave the aliens because they lash out at anything with hate that threatens their precious values

[tonitoL4Lboy]

is this shyt real...?

[neotype2001]

yes, where the hell have you been?

[Dune1884]

yeah !

[po0pdawg]

no of course its real look at all the cheesy 90's cgi for proof

[Qp0wer]

cheesy cgi pffft yeahright i think its prety good

[po0pdawg]

what year are you living in 1984 those soldiers and robo suits fucking suck

[lukecarelsen]

huh its based in the year 1990, therfore hmmm, i think its suppose to be like that.

[po0pdawg]

im just saying it sucks anyway

[lukecarelsen]

yea well, im sure it will suck because there is a gap in your upbringing. READ about xenophobia in SA, do it right know so that you can stop being a noob!!!!

[OnlyMyOpinion]

No, you're not.

[masterpiraka]

He did a good job for his small budget.

Your head.

Pull it out your ass.

[RuinerxxSINCITY]

If anyone can point me in the direction of where I can find the soundtrack used in this video I would be grateful. I swear I have heard it somewhere. Thank you in advance!

[coolblue154]

I know for a FACT that the song played near the end (with the drums) is actually "Journey To the Line" by Hans Zimmer for the movie The Thin Red LLine. However, they added the African drums. It's a remixed version. So yeah, you're not gonna find that particular version anywhere.

Journey To The Line. That's the name of the score. (very heavy, very sad, beautiful)

[88976hi]

is this realy directly linked to the movie?

[Br1on]

reminds me of half life for some reason

[aceshot]

dudee, I thought the exact same thing when I saw the trailer before Wolverine lol

[rawismojo]

This is obviously a critique on the South African apartheid. I'm really excited to see what they do with it. Science fiction faux-documentaries as social commentary.

[LTchimp]

it lookes good and it lookes stupid at the same time.

[Creativedonkey]

I'm really anxious to see how this movie turns out!

[charliec81]

You know, if there's one good thing about this movie, it's that the aliens went to Africa.

I mean, how often have we seen them go to North America ?

[goji04]

it's so interesting to note how the humans views of the aliens isn't much different from the how the German saw Jews in the past

[Bloodshedood]

Based on this video though, these aliens are leeching our resources. In that case i can understand why people dont want them there, but i dont really know why the aliens are there to begin with.

[mayornoggin]

I wonder if a movie like this is "preparing our mind" for something, seeing that some of us in this room are taking this serious. Using movies, the powers that are try to mould our opinions and create a collective conscious. Does life on other planets exist? Or these "aliens" we think we see and believe to be out there are actually something else?

[BeyondTheWorldsEnd]

ever heard of project bluebeam? pretty much telling us we will see aliens :P which is fucking awesome for me, i cant wait i wanna joint heir ranks :) but if everyoen freaks out life isnt ganna be so ez :(

[mayornoggin]

Thanks for the reference, I'm going to look that up. Whether these "aliens" are going to be the real thing, a global hoax by high-end officials, demons in disguise (which is my opinion), or something else, I do believe we will see "them" on a massive scale possibly in our lifetime with full acceptance of the public. I think alot of people already feel that beings from another planet will come someday to solve all our hardships and differences. When that happens, we will be falling down a cliff.

[b0b52000]

you're an idiot...

[mayornoggin]

And you are very wise.

[jonnykiller]

thats why we need time :) at least a year or so and we ready

[CrazyTurkBoy]

this is so dumb, because, with this kind of an issue, the whole world would be involved...it would't be the problem of only South Africa

[District9News]

You don't understand, obviously.

They contained them all into South Africa.

[dalemil]

is this based off Alien Nation?

[District9News]

No, this is completely original.

[timromney]

Spielberg talent spotted Zemeckis, who talent spotted Peter Jackson, who then spots NEIL BLOMKAMP. That's quite a lineage.

All Best Director/Best Picture winners. Blomkamp's turn? Can't wait to see when it happens.

[MyMelancholyDodo]

wow! good stuff

[RuinerxxSINCITY]

I think some people are missing the point. This film looks as if it aims to sort of force people to look in the mirror at their own prejudices. District9 is quickly becoming my most anticpated movie this summer.

[justinmcquilkin]

same here. i think its about showing what prejudices humans would have as a whole if another intelligent life inhabited this planet. by the looks of this shirt film and also D-9, it would make me ashamed to be human. we could learn so much from them. peacefully of course.

[ADZ23774]

Thats the problem these days,and for all the time that we as a race,which in the grand scheme of things,is'nt very long,have considered our selves the dominating force on this planet,we only have,and all ways will care about our selves

[Gichnni]

People don't listen to persons like you, because your grammar is fucking awful and therefore, your text won't have any value and strength.

[elav20]

Remember watching this short when it first popped on YouTube and just being so floored by it. Never really followed it after that and then saw the teaser trailer at midnight showing of X-Men!!! I was so excited, but I sounded like an idiot since I was the only on going on about it in the theater o_O I would have thought more people knew about it before me? Anyways, can't wait!

[ElRousey]

I heard about it when I saw Wayne Barlowe was doing the concept art for it. Wayne Barlowe is the most a-MAZING artist and he always works on films for aliens and monsters and stuff of that nature. I'm excited for this film.

[dcopymope]

The first trailer for the District 9 movie will be online this thursday and debut in theaters with X-Men Origins: Wolverine

[AkinderSurprise]

very interesting concept cant wait for the movie

[PaCiFiKbAllA9]

Can't wait to see the movie on August 14, 2009!

[johnycannuk]

Remake of Alien Nation?

Do they get drunk on sour milk?

[irockthemike]

Or get dissolved by salt water! HA! Which show was better: Alien Nation or V?

[Raaksaka]

Send them all to district 9!!!!

[ADZ23774]

The human race dont deserve to live like we do,we fucking this planet up for a lot of species that were here long before us...!!

[Gichnni]

Yea, true that. So, there is only one right thing for you to do. How about you go and fucking kill yourself? Then you both give us other people a huge favor and the other species as well.

[ADZ23774]

Don't talk like that to me,,go and learn english first,,then try again,.You could try taking antyping lesson if the english language is too much for you,,..

[Gichnni]

Oh, really? You are the dumbass who sucks in grammar. First off, it's not "english", it's "English" with a big letter, you dumb fuck and stop using two punctuation marks you idiot. Go back to school or shut the fuck up, geek.

[firebust]

It looks kind of like Metal Gear Solid during the fight scene at the beginning.

[Demolitionhick]

I would be freaked out if something like that started living near me. But to be fair there probably no worse than the human race.

[speccwolf]

The human race isnt that bad, who do we have ourselves to compare to ?
