It’s time to put up or shut up. After what seems like a lifetime of marketing, the highly anticipated film District 9 will hit theaters this Friday. It’s directed by Neill Blomkamp and produced by Peter Jackson. It’s led by a relatively unknown South African actor, and the same goes for it’s supporting cast. Does it live up to the hype? We’ve rounded up some early reviews for the film and we’ll let you decide.
Yay or nay on District 9? Find out after the jump…

I know we already have a video interview with Neill Blomkamp for District 9 up on the site from Comic-Con. But like I said in that interview, I hadn’t seen the movie yet, after seeing the film I had a whole new list of questions. When I went to interview the star of the film Sharlto Copley (watch interview), in which he repeatedly said “that’s because of how amazing Neill is,” I was able to snag a couple of minutes with Neill again. Although he seemed eager to talk, his those around him seemed eager to leave after a long day.
Here is what he had to say in our mini-interview…

Over at IGN, they’ve posted a few new production stills from Neill Blomkamp‘s sci-fi film, District 9. The movie is produced by Peter Jackson and will hit theaters on August 14, 2009. District 9 is a high concept film about a race of aliens who land on earth and instead of taking over the planet, they become second class citizens among humans.

District 9 star Sharlto Copley has quickly become a favorite of mine. The actor will be making his major film debut in the Neill Blomkamp, Peter Jackson collaboration, and is managing to stay completely humble and unlike his character in the film completely endearing. I previously interviewed him at Comic-Con this past weekend, which he happened to remember this second time around (when does that happen?)
The interview below starts where we left off, with him speaking about the last question that I asked him at Comic-Con about what it’s like to walk out onto the stage in front of 6,000+ fans and how nervous he was to do so. Copley also gives some insight into how he created the right work environment on the District 9 set, being that it was led by a director who also happened to be his close friend, what it was like working with Peter Jackson and a whole lot more.

**Update: Entire Press Conference Added Below**
Producer Peter Jackson, Director Neill Blomkamp, and star Sharlto Copley, all sat down at a press conference for a good solid 35 minutes at Comic-Con to talk about their upcoming film District 9. Everything we’ve seen from this film looks absolutely amazing and everyone involved is proof that you either have the film-gene or you don’t. These three men were made to make films, and with a push from Jackson, they’e all been able to create an amazing film.
Check out the interview below….
***Note: We already posted the video of Peter Jackson talking about The Hobbit, a video of our one on one with Neill Blomkamp, and a video of Jackson and James Cameron being “attacked” during their panel.

Today at the Entertainment Weekly Visionary panel, James Cameron and Peter Jackson’s discussion was cut short when a crazy fan hopped on stage. Not only did this random guy interrupt the flow of the panel, but he had the audacity to go up to Peter Jackson, and steal his glass of water! He literally had enough time to pour a pitcher of water, lean over the man, take his glass, and sip a bit before the security escorted him off the stage. I think these two handled themselves quite well, but check out the video for yourself after the jump!

Yesterday I got a chance to sit down with Neill Blomkamp at Comic-Con 2009 to talk about his upcoming film, the Peter Jackson produced movie which is about to hit theaters is August. Neill has done what many film-makers dream to do — made a short film that got the attention of an A-list Director, who then decided to take him under his wing and let him make a huge studio movie however the hell he wanted to.
