Want to see DISTRICT 9? Live in Austin, Los Angeles, Minneapolis/St. Paul, Seattle, San Francisco, New York, Chicago or Miami?

Hey folks, Harry here - and man, am I glad I can do this for y'all.

When I had to leave 30 minutes before the end of DISTRICT 9, because I had a panel to host... I was in agony. It is actually the only time in my entire life that I was forced to leave a movie I was in love with... before it had ended.

However, I was determined to do a couple of things. 1st, I would finish this movie. 2nd, I really want to give as many of you as I can a chance to see this film and share your impending love of it.

New DISTRICT 9 Trailer + rating!

Hey folks, Harry here and right now - this is my big remaining hope of the summer. I know the new HARRY POTTER is going to deliver, I'm pretty confident about INGLORIOUS BASTERDS kicking my ass... but DISTRICT 9... it is the film I hope hands me my ass steaming, bloody and with butter!

If you thought you loved that DISTRICT 9 trailer before, check out unblurred and translated!! Holy Alien Poo!

Hey folks, Harry here... Wow. Wow. Wow. You know. It's so amazing what unblurring and giving meaning to those alien noises can suddenly fill a trailer with a level of foreboding, menace, pathos and character. Like most of you, I loved the trailer as it was before, but this small (actually huge) change suddenly made this the film I'm really most excited about for the rest of the summer. This is really damn cool!

Really cool trailer for DISTRICT 9 hits!

Hey folks, Harry here... I really like this. I love the feel of the trailer, but I have to say, I'm dying to see what the film actually is. Is it all documentary style? Is there a narrative? Where does the film go with this? All I know is it looks very intriguing, what do you think?

Quint has seen the first footage from Neill Blomkamp's DISTRICT 9 at ShoWest!

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here fresh from the Sony panel where they didn’t prance out any guests, but gave us a good half an hour show reel of their summer slate.

I have to start with the biggie of the presentation: DISTRICT 9, directed by Neill Blomkamp and produced by Peter Jackson… the director/producer team that should have been making a HALO movie.

Peter Jackson and Neill Blomkamp's DISTRICT 9 has a distributor!!!

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. We ran a story a couple days ago announcing a film called DISTRICT 9, being produced by Peter Jackson and directed by Neill Blomkamp. The two worked closedly on HALO for a while and the only thing we might ever see out of that collaboration were the series of pretty sweet-ass HALO 3 commercials.

Neill Blomkamp and Peter Jackson getting a new flick off the ground called DISTRICT 9, plus some TINTIN rumors...

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with a few Peter Jackson tidbits for you good folks out there.

Firstly, the trades are reporting this morning that Jackson will be producing a flick called DISTRICT 9 for Neill Blomkamp to direct, which would lend credence to the rumors that they're not getting ready to launch HALO afterall.

DISTRICT 9 is an original tale penned by Blomkamp and Terri Tatchell, a big sci-fi actioneer.
