Alive in Joburg – District 9 Original Short Film
I am about a week late with this, seeing as the film was out last Thursday, but I was far too busy sunning myself in Italy to worry about some serious “issue” movie about South African refugees. Or so I thought.
Actually these refugees are enormous tentacled aliens and District 9 is more of a vaguely intelligent sci-fi summer blockbuster, so I should’ve paid attention as I love summer sci-fi blockbusters. Except the Transformers movies. They’re fucking shite.
Um, anyway, above is the short film that inspired Peter Jackson of LOTR and Braindead fame to back Neill Blomkamp to make the full movie. Woop woop!
