District 9 - Interview with Sharlto Copley & Neill Blomkamp

And exclusive interview with the director and lead actor of District 9.

District 9 is in UK cinemas now.

Over twenty years ago, aliens made first contact with Earth. Humans waited for the hostile attack, or the giant advances in technology. Neither came. Instead, the aliens were refugees from their home world. The creatures were set up in a makeshift home in South Africas District 9 as the worlds nations argued over what to do with them.

Now, patience over the alien situation has run out. Control over the aliens has been contracted out to Multi-National United (MNU), a private company uninterested in the aliens welfare. MNU will receive tremendous profits if they can make the aliens powerful weaponry work. So far, they have failed; activation of the weaponry requires alien DNA.

The tension between the aliens and the humans comes to a head when MNU begins evicting the non-humans from District 9, with MNU field agents responsible for moving them to a new camp. One of the MNU field operatives, Wikus van der Merwe (Sharlto Copley), contracts an alien virus that begins changing his DNA. Wikus quickly becomes the most hunted man in the world, as well as the most valuable he is the key to unlocking the secrets of alien technology. Ostracized and friendless, there is only one place left for him to hide: District 9.

@InvisibleKitty idk which music ur talking about excatly... but the song that plays at 2:58 is called A Lot of Secrets... and it is on the soundtrack

it's so similar to the main theme,

[Ifyoukeepaskingme]

It´s a cool movie but really frustrating sometimes... I always feel ashamed to be part of a race with such huge pre addiction for warfare when i watch these films.
