Not sure whether this belongs in ASB but anyway.

Looks interesting and by the looks of the trailer appears to be set in South Africa http://www.d-9.com/

Seconded!

It reminds me of the website for the Royal Kingdom of Gilboa (sp?) that NBC set up to promote Kings, but this is even better! Hooray for creative marketing!

Ive never heard of it before and then I watched a vid about it on youtube and they mentioned "the game" Districs 9, so I assumed it wasn't a movie.

Apparently the director was attached to a Halo movie for a short amount of time. So there's some core of fanboys that keep putting YouTube posts up about how "may be thiiiis isss thuh haylo preekwul wuldnt that be awsum! lik how thuh aliehns fownd us?"

Wasn't there already a thread about this movie?

In any case, it looks awesome and will no doubt have a lot of parallels to Apartheid.

The movie is actually based on a short film that is about six minutes long. Here is a link to the short film:

Looks interesting.

Seems like an updated version of Alien Nation with real aliens, as opposed to human looking aliens.
