As it starts to get further away from 2001, it’s a little bit more ok for me to celebrate my birthday. Not this year, when all media everywhere was all about the 10 year anniversary of the World Trade Center attacks, but regardless of the year I’ve sort of learned to just embrace the weirdness of it all, since neither event is going to move. Could just ignore my birthday but I need some excuse to buy weirdly-expensive-considering-‘the economy’ cupcakes at least once a year.
I’ll be posting an outtake video on Dunya and our Facebook page soon— shot this episode at 12.30 am after a full pot of tea and slightly weird things happened, most of which surprisingly didn’t even make it into the final product. So look forward to that.
What is Neill Blomkamp’s Mysterious Teaser All About?
So apparently this mysterious teaser for what seems to be a previously unannounced Neill Blomkamp (director of District 9) project turned up in the latest Wired for iPad.
Two main things give this credibility:
- I was directed to it by Sharlto Copely, the lead in District 9 and childhood friend of Neill, on facebook with a message of “mmm…. wonder what this is about….” If it was a fan-made thing, it probably wouldn’t be in Wired, and Sharlto would’ve likely referred to it as a really really well done D9-type video
- The creature they interact with the video is 100% professionally made. I can’t imagine just anyone having the skill to create something like that in all the stages needed, and that stamp might as well say ‘WETA’ as far as I’m concerned.
So although Neill seemed to suggest that his next project will be totally different than D9 (I even seem to remember QED International saying they were financing it, too), but maybe a new film in the District 9 universe is in order.
What do you think? District 10? A new film? Just an extra for some kind of D9 special edition Blu-Ray?
This is part of my dock. You will notice I have a much better iTunes icon than you do, that matches the one in iOS. It’s okay, you can have it too. Have a blast.

What? There’s a TENTH episode of this podcast that Ben Wright and I do weekly? Crazy.
Since I have next to no memory of recording this and am still in the process of downloading it, here’s Ben’s sum-up:
This week we talk about UJump, detours to Quebec, and crazy food. Ben admits to having no indie cred and considers pimping out his roommate Sam through Xbox Live. And we get rid of those annoying songs in the middle.
You know the drill: instead of just listening to the show on this page, just make life easier by subscribing on iTunes or Zune!
Also like us on Facebook! It is the only way we will have self esteem.
