  • This was actually really fuckin' good.

  • njoyed this great movie in webmovietube

  • This is obviously the short movie that preceded 'District 9' and led to it being made, and not a trailer for the movie. Figure out what the hell you're posting before you post it; a moderate amount of actual competence is all I'm asking.

  • i love that noise

  • this isn't exactly new. it was like a concept that neill blomkamp made before D9 was made

  • This is "Wikus is Alive in Joburg"

  • Seriously what i just realized about this movie tho, who's just like the main MNU character of this movie? BBC's Office ring a bell maybe? David Brent or Ricky Gervais is Wikus in this movie perfectly.... And it's exactly like the series also when the humans are around! lol ...sitting in the office talking at the camera or bumbling around clumsily...

  • is this real

  • this is actually Alive in Joberg. this is what inspired the film district 9 i believe.

  • yep, you are correct.

  • I smell spam!!!!

  • twilight movie

  • stupid spam!

  • 3:30 Wikus!!!!

  • 1:40 your mom!!!!

  • wikus???

  • lol ye, he looks different without the beard. Gotta love that accent. Fookin' epic!

  • this is Alive if Joburg stupid old movie

  • This is the short film neil blokamp made 3 years prior to the main film. Research before posting stupid comments.

  • this is one of their promo videos prior to release of movie.

  • no its not

  • It's Alive in Johannesberg. Directed and produced by the same crew as D9. The story of D9 is based on this with a few minor details. They released this short film online as promotion for D9 six months before the movie's release.

  • Haha you cant make the connection can you?

  • This video is clearly early test footage, most of that was not in the movie, and the only ship was different. the movie was excellent, I suggest you see it if you haven't... don't by pop corn......

  • lol why not?

  • 00:32 sounds like the music from "Crash"

  • District 9 was a bloody good film

    ((( in my opinion )))

    will have to check this earlier version out....

  • Bloody good, is a perfect description.

  • This is NOT new footage. this is the short film that inspired District 9. stop miss leading people please.

  • that wasnt real footage rofl -.-

  • i saw the movie..and these wasan't in it wtf..... and the part in the trailer that they question one of the aliens in a room isan't in the movie either wtf?

  • I feel sorry for the aliens, they're not evil, they're not attacking or harming humanity. And yet we treat them like scum, all they wanna do is go home! But we won't let them. D=

  • this isnt the MOVIE!!! its the inspiration for it!!! well actually it was the director's original version if you will

  • this is 'alive in joburg' footage. the short film on which d-9 is based. stop fooling around.

  • None of this footage is in the movie

  • this isnt footage i watched the movie and couldent find this

  • OMG BEST MOVIE EVER

  • Wierd movie. They should have gone for the PG-13 rating to bring in more money. Dissolve the F word in the script, and more people can show up for it.

  • and u never saw the movie, just the F word? no it had people getting blown up to smitheriens, a horror feel to it, and quite alot of action invloving people getting ripped apart by aliens

  • district 9 was amazing

  • nice bootleg hah

  • this isnt bootleg dude this isnt the real movie

  • i think this movie gonna be fantastic

  • hey, its Sharlto Copley (Wikus) @ 3:25

  • hee hee i noticed! it made me quite excited.

  • He made this back when he was making the halo vids and stuff, this is "Alive in Joburg" not D9.

  • i so hope they make another movie, when the alien guy comes back 3yrs later to help the guy changing into alien

  • this so did not happen in the movie

  • this was a good movie

  • like a second part...becuz of wat the alien said and he has to cure the guy?

  • Alive In Joburg! Not District 9<

  • is the camera like in the movie in clover field

  • no the camera in Cloverfield was shit. this camera moves with the environment and movement. it makes it seem like you are really there. Cloverfield swung the camera around and made people dizzy.

  • You might want to re-title this video... it's originally "Alive in Joburg", or something of that nature, right? Don't want Youtube to pull this off thanks to the title!

  • amazing film. definitely a thinker.

  • district 9 is one of the best films ive seen in a long time. 9.5/10 stars i would rate it

  • ok so this is in south africa ( johannasbourg ) cant spell it sorry lol its quite a good movie the action is fucking amazing i give it a 9 / 10 great great movie .

  • This is the original short film the movie District 9 is based on. Brilliant setup for the actual film. I'm sure it will be on the DVD.

  • i hate aliens with a passion i wish death on all of em!!!!

  • This isn't district 9, bah who cares. Can't wait to see the movie anyways, I hear it is a very good film from respected sites.

  • this is the short film

  • can someone tell me how its short when it goes for almost 2 hours??

  • This isn't district 9 this is the movie its based off of.

  • whats the movie is it based on?

  • i cant wait to wait to watch it!!

  • i didnt recognize the guy fro 3:20 without the mustache main character of d-9

  • if aliens like this came to earth people would be more intrested in them than this

  • yeah but the movies based 28 years afterward. they could have been interested the first couple of years but that new "UN" thing. thats how i think of it. probably made it seem like theyre not all that great and probably violent

  • i think thats the main charector i district 9 3:20

  • ya the french dude! cool that you noticed.

  • I dont think hes french..

  • Well, to me he looks like Inspector Cluseau! Especially with the mustache. HAHAHA!!!

  • this movie is somewhat correct, the government nowadays is all worried about alien invasions, when they could be nice lifeforms, I think this movie is sending a messege to everyone that aliens arent the biggest worry in the world, and that we should stop hezatating.

  • yes thank you

  • AWESOME

  • This is Alive in Joburg.

  • why are the humans so bitchy to the aliens? the aliens are peacful, and all they want is a place to live. the humans in this movie are assholes. they wont even let them go home, or give them electricity or water.

  • yeah this movie makes humans seem like assholes lol

  • We are assholes.

  • Its because the humans want to use their weapon technology but the aliens don't want to give it to us.

  • so we beat it out of them? thats asshole"ish"

  • yall are dumbasses, this was fairly new footage when it was posted.

  • not new footage...its the earlier 2006 short film

  • this looks like the ending part.

  • this is the ending

  • Man, if the soundtrack of the movie is anything like this, I'm buying it.

  • Ya,the soundtrack is pretty nice. For a low bugdet short film..

  • This motion picture is titled "Alive in Joburg."

    It is NOT footage of District 9.

    It is NOT new.

    However it is the short film that inspired and expanded into District 9.

  • While this is a cool video, and slightly *related* to District 9, it is NOT "new footage of District 9" as the video poster claims.

  • Kill them all.

  • Horrible very horrible noone or "thing" should be treated like that

  • This movies actually kinda saddening and the worst of it is, if Aliens landed like that we(humanity) would prolly do this exact thing

  • yea i agree with that humans(us) are very ignorant and we think the wose out of everything

  • This is not new footage. This is the original short film that Peter Jackson had nothing to do with.

  • Yeeeeeeeeeah man.

  • This is not new footage, this is the short film in which the feature film is based off of.

  • we need obiwan kinobe & Master Yoda to get them out of here

  • wheres master chief? or chuck norris!! fuck!

  • back in 2004 when all of his jokes were still funny

  • This is the short film "Alive in Joburg" that District 9 is based on.

    It was made by the same director.

    It is not footage from District 9.

  • they use the force

  • awsome cant waite to see it

  • I hope the alians fuck us up!

  • Man the short film was really good! Can't wait for the movie on Aug 14th!

  • You can't say it is or isn't about race until the actual movie comes out. Both of you are wrong.

  • sorry

  • This movie is the only movie that actually makes the human military look like a threat and look good.

  • this is not District 9...? It's something totally different that district 9 is based off of??? Someone please help me out here haha

  • this is what the movie district 9 is based of...this is the short film by niel blomkamp or whatever his name is

  • at 3:20 its Wikus from the actual movie

  • Thats an actor that going to be on the film?

  • This isnt District 9 [New footage], is a short film called  Alive in Joburg, NO NEW FOOTAGE

  • Many people have misunderstood this video.

    This actually isn't a trailer, but a short film.

    District 9 wad actually adapated by this short film.

  • So there is a race of aliens with unbelievable technology and there stuck? This isnt making sense. Maybe there is more to it than they are showing in the trailers. I also have a feeling this is a movie created by the terrible left wing liberal media to show that illegal aliens should be treated fairly. GOD HELP US ALL!

  • well of course theyre not showing us all of it in the trailor they want us to go spend money to watch the movie and find out what happens.... and wow there are so many people saying that im sure its just a movie about aliens getting stuck here......

  • Why don't they leave then????????

  • this is directed by peter jackson not neill blomkamp!!

  • its like being racist against aliens in a way but idk i havnt watched the movie just cuz they are not human shouldnt be that they are not welcome on earth as long as they are not harming us...idk im sounding like a psycho person lol..im guessing this movie is suposed to give the watchers a lesson of race and humanity but again idk, i havnt watched the movie

  • Will you be able to see the aliens faces in the movie or r they gonna keep them blurred out. i cant wait to see it

  • You can see them.There is a trailer when you can see their faces..

  • y do they hide them?

  • you can c them,.....bnot that it matters

  • God does not have a time limit nor is HE expected to come in 12/2012 its man putting a time limit on God....But He will come...if not today...maybe tomorrow....Practice rebuking sin and be a savior to your people. Beside we all carry the cursed blood could you

    (Me) Us/ALL go to Heaven without starting trouble like we do here on earth? Practice doing better. Why is this powerful Alien Black? Why is he beggin de white man? This film is a fantasy opposite of the Truth...Believe Me (We) I Know.

  • If not 2012 when? This Slavery Blacks are in can't continue....They know what they are filming about just like they use Black people in ALL negative roles. Thank you for this clear trailer of the film. Why is it so important they put the Africans on the previews...surely not 1 of them name is listed as a star...And like usual We will be the first to die just like in all the rest of the white man's film...old isn't it. But they still do it. OPEN YOUR EYES......Oh, Jesus is Black too! lol

  • Just FYI, Blomkamp (writer/director of this & the new film) and the other directors are all from South Africa. Well, that I know of. I'm pretty sure most of the actors are from there too, even the ones playing the aliens. Just thought I'd mention it since it's been brought up, for anybody else that might wonder.

  • Think about why is this movie in Africa? Why are Blacks getting roles to talk agianst the Aliens. They want to show the Aliens being poor and dependant on the devil oppressors....but in real life the Aliens (GOD & His Angles: Chariots will Come and Will BE STRONGER...hey UFOs are here now! Messiah will come to save us from the devils (Oppressors)for real! Is our role in this film negative...so far yeah. I like Great Movies and this is gonna be a good one inspite of Black people's negative role

  • Riiight. It has absolutely nothing to do with the directly mentioned Apartheid Government, in which blacks and other "non-whites" were segregated and beaten down. I'm sure there's some other reason the aliens are called "non-humans". And let's just forget the video clips on the official websites. They have whites in those negative roles - it doesn't count! Really.

  • That guy is a nut...

  • Well yeah. I still find the irony kind of amusing though.

  • THE MOTHERSHIP WILL COME AND BLACKS WILL SUPPORT GOD AND HIS UFO CHARIOTS. See the Movie "Knowing"  GAME OVER.....Y'All BETTER STOP THIS LYING AND STOP PRACTICING SIN EVERYDAY IN YOUR LIVES! Black people stop being used support your own you dumb fools! Didn't you see this coming? Symbols/Cover-up/Truth 12/2012/Judgement/PURIFICATION­/FREEDOM OPEN MIND TO CHANGE....Should be a good movie inspite of using stupid blacks that will talk agianst another black even if its an Alien/Angel/Chariot/UFO

  • Please dont fall for this 2012 garbage...

  • LOL!

    Nice one.

    I wonder how many ill informed kids will actually fall for this.

  • it looks so cool why dont we let them leave?

  • ooh okay thanks

  • what is going on, is this shit real?

  • This is just the short film not the actual movie.

    The actual movie have way better special effects than this.

  • you are a complete moron

  • i dont really give a shit

  • My opinion on the movie so far is that it looks quite intresting. The inside plot seems not that how america doesnt except foreigners, its about how the government deceives people about many things. For instance 9-11, since when did wars not generate billions of dollars. And Bush and the whole colinization of Iraq thing, common bush is in oil for god's sake.

  • I'm betting that yeah, it's a general parallel of how we discriminate against and treat each other like shit. It's probably also going to do an aesop on how dangerous it is to give a corporation that kind of power, and... Well, actually, it's probably going to be chock full of those pesky moral lessons, bein' based on an indie film an' all. ;) Also. It's South Africa. This short directly mentions apartheid, so that's prolly still the main theme.

  • can someone please tell me if this is real PLEASE

  • It's a movie...

  • This is the short film not the actual movie

  • NOT like,, if this film is real like if their actual aliens there

  • Maybe.....lol

  • not real but, why don they give them what they need just let them go dang

  • because we what their buttholes...DUH!

  • Did you say " we what their buttholes"? Why did you say that? Why would we want alien buttholes.....

  • this movie is all about america and how it doesnt accept others and only cares about its power... the aliens are foreiners and the humans are america...

  • I know what you mean... but people cant critique it yet because it hasnt even come out yet....

  • yea... but i cant wait to for it to come out

  • i dunno this movie looks dumb becaUSe of alines living among us,but it still has something to it that makes it intriguing, like you wanna see more... i dunno ill probably try checking the whole thing out maybe ill turn out liking it haha,ill give it a try!

  • why is it dumb that aliens could live among us?

  • Well for this movie I think they were needing resources (as is usually the case)

    If they needed a colony it would have to depend on their intentions and situation. If they were reasonable then I'm sure an agreement could be reached, otherwise we WOULD have to fight.

    If the roles were reversed then again, it'd depend on the situation. Especially if we were dealing with a sentient species then I would imagine we'd be a lot more willing to negotiate with them.

  • If no one learns from them, tries to figure out why they do what they do, of course they're gonna do things unexpected! That's kind of common sense

  • This is not new fotage, this is the original short film from what District 9 is based.

  • is this a joke?

  • this is neil blomkamp's short film that district 9 is based off of

  • wow, amazing homemade trailer. luved it

  • if alien craft was really here on earth....first of all they would not let themselves be known, because they know how they would be treated for looking different. Humans aren't highly evolved yet because the majority still descriminated on each other. They would prolly hide in the Bermuda Triangle where it is SAFE for them.

  • retard... we shoot the and kill them...

  • lol. How would THEY know that?

  • this is really good homemade trailer

  • This isnt a homemade trailer, this is the original short story that they based District 9 off of

  • Dr Zoitbergs race??

  • sum kinda midgar

  • LOLz! FFVII FTW!!!

  • I might be thinking of a different movie but wasnt there another trailer to this movie that looks almost like a commercial????

  • Ya i think i now was "commercial" trailer your talking about. Ya,this is like the same movie.

  • i have a feeling this movie might be a disappointment.....

  • It's not from the movie. It's an old short film that the movie is based on.

  • I think the aliens made a bit of a miscalculation when they landed in a developing nation. At least in a developed nation they'd probably get better accomodations.

  • if you mean a developed country like the US? They would be fucked, this stupid nation will try to get every piece of information out of them as possible. then they would study them, kill them and then probably we would be attacked by more...

  • I couldnt agree more
