Since District 9 made back it’s entire budget and then some in its opening weekend, and the film had a relatively open ending [much like Zac Ephron, ZING!], it should come as no surprise that a sequel may be forthcoming. To read more about it, you can check out filmschoolrejects (possible spoilers in article).
The video below is Alive In Joburg, the 6-minute film District 9 was based on, both from the same director (Neill Blomkamp). More of his short films are available at buzzfeed. I’m not saying I’d drink Neill’s bathwater or anything, but he’s pretty cool, I guess. It’s whatever.

To heck with the directors bathwater…I want to take a shower with Sharlto Copley. Nom…
A Raisin in the Sun broke my heart, this just breaks my balls. Make it stop.
I know van comments are getting old but…
I’ve got a bunch of trapper keepers in the back of my van if you want to see them Robo.
If there are kitties on those trapper keepers I’ll swallow.
In Corvalis, Oregon, there is a section of town called District 9. It’s where the black family lives, or so I thought. Turns out they are Chinese – it’s so hard to tell.
This isn’t a good idea, we know how this will go down:
District 10 will be adapted from another script and as a result, won’t really have the same feeling as the first one because they jet set around europe. Plus the plot goes wonky and everything isn’t explained until the very end where they show you a bunch of scenes that you didn’t see at first to neatly explain everything in a montage (like one of the humans and one of the aliens fighting over their favorite rugby teams whilst on a train to secretly steal a backpack of Alien Technology).
District 11 will go back to basics, but it’ll be about revenge, Al Pacino will be in it to collect a pay check but it’s like watching a toothless lion that has been kicked out of the pride. He can still roar, but he can’t really defend himself. In the end you’ll be like “it was better than the last one, but what was the point? Even on HBO, I can’t enjoy this.”
I want Neill and Sharlto to double-team me on a raft of trapper keepers in Peter Jackson’s bath water.
That flying saucer would look really awesome with a mural of Star Trek II painted all over it.
In Corvalis Oregon, my grandfather belonged to a hunting lodge called “The Fraternity of Trapper/Keepers.”
John Valuk is dead. He fell on his head. Planet 10 > District 10.
I wouldn’t drink his bathwater as much as I would make a sun tea out of his dirty underwear and enjoy a glass of it whilst relaxing on a hammock.
District 9 reminds me of my 4th grade class where all the wetbacks sat at a designated table.
Cause “they no know no ingles”.
If there are kitties on those trapper keepers I’ll swallow.
hahahahahahhah
District 10 in Jo’burg is actually where they segregate vanners to keep them out of the public eye.
Don’t let your kids near district 10, folks.
The only district I’m interested in seeing is Red Light District in Bangkok
I was thinking of waiting ’til this comes out on DVD, but I don’t think my machine can play District 9 discs.
