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:

  1. 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
  2. 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?

Update: FirstShowing.net has some more speculation!

Google AdSense has gotten insanely good at understanding tone and serving up relevant ads, as exemplified here with /Film’s documentation of Peter Jackson’s horrible trials with getting The Hobbit made (seriously, watch the latest video interview with him, the man is being ripped apart while trying to keep his dream alive and his fellow citizens employed), coupled with a ‘Holocaust Tours’ ad, featuring a tour where you get to see sites and meet survivors in countries where The Hobbit may very well end up shooting exteriors.

Peter Jackson sure like his cameos (and I enjoy watching them); there were definitely many in here that’d I’d never seen or heard of. Enjoy!

Another week, another new episode of Sick Feats! I really feel like this episode is our best yet. It’s District 9, a film that both Ben and I loved a lot but had no shortage of things to talk about. We also get (relatively) in depth about Avatar vs. District 9, and how we kinda prefer… well, just listen to it (and watch the film along side if you can, that’s the point!) and enjoy! Check it out on iTunes in your browser or hit up the mp3 file directly!
