****Update: If you’re looking for a serious District 9 fix we thoroughly covered the film at this year’s convention. Check out an interview with director Neill Blomkamp with accompanying video, as well as the press conference interview with star Sharlto Copley and producer Peter Jackson. These three also attended the Sony Panel presentation, which turned out to be a real treat for the fans.
Comic-Con preview night kicks off this evening in San Diego, so it’s no surprise that all the recent movie news has had one common theme. The annual event is dominating every headline and major entertainment publication as of late, and USAToday is no different. They have given us a sneak peek of what we can expect at this year’s convention starting with a new photo from Neill Blomkamp’s District 9.

Director Neill Blomkamp and producer Peter Jackson’s collaboration District 9 just keeps getting better and better. Above is a still shot from the new TV clip, which is featured below. This clip doesn’t add much to the the plot-line that we already know — non-humans or aliens stuck on earth and being “contained” in a slum like area while we figure out that to do — we get a number of new amazing shots as well as a few more details into what’s really going on in District-9.

5:09: The film was shot for $30 million, enough to get it done, but made for fans without the pressure from studios and such. Jackson: “Gave him the ability to just go crazy.”
4:59: Peter Jackson admits to the possibility of getting back into the low budget horror/thriller film while The Hobbit is being made.
In my opinion District 9 is taking entirely too long to hit theaters. Every time I turn around there’s a new trailer making me want to watch the film in it’s entirety right now. The film won’t be released until August 14, but Sony Studios has been dropping promotional pieces left and right. The latest is the third theatrical trailer for the Neill Blomkamp, Peter Jackson collaboration, which takes a look at greed, segregation, and politics from a sci-fi perspective.
A full length theatrical trailer has just been released for Neill Blomkamp’s District 9. The film is produced by Peter Jackson and follows the relentless pursuit of extraterrestrials in South Africa. 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. Set for release on August 19th, the latest trailer gives us a better look a the film’s storyline.

The new District 9 poster is here and it’s better than any we have seen. Apparently, Sony decided that it was time to wow us right before the new trailer debuted in this week in theaters before Bruno. Sure the new poster shows a desolate city with an enormous spaceship over it, but it’s the center piece that completes the poster– “No Humans Allowed,” outlined in red.

Get ready because the amazing online game of the new District 9 is here. You have the option of either playing it as a MNU Officer on patrol in District 9 and arrest or shoot non-human, or play as a non-human and take action against the MNU’s patrolling guards by sneaking through the slums and collecting valuable alien fuel canisters, according to Comingsoon.
As I’ve said before, I think the marketing for Peter Jackson‘s new film, District 9 is absolutely genius. From their amazing posters around town warning people via billboards and park benches about “non-humans” to their amazing documentary style trailer, this is the film to see this year.
