Quote from: DEViANCEI watched it tonight and thought it was excellent, very very well made.

Wonder if they will do a sequal three years later sort of thing, the Aliens come back for some revenge.

My GF was funny though, "Why are the South Africans talking in that funny accent? Are they doing it to take the piss out of the aliens?"  :rofl:

Well, now youve given away a little bit of a spoiler...(spoilers maybe below)

Whos to say the aliens would want revenge? You see how powerful their tech is in the film, why didnt they use it in the 20 years to get revenge or more resources?

Possible sequels would be what happens in District 10...or ship comes back and either instigates a war or the integration of the aliens, to peoples disgust, plus whatever happened to the main character...

I still think if they get the right people they Could make an amazing Halo Movie.
Another great trailer.

Yeah Id really like to see a (Halo) movie too, but it seems MS wants to focus on the anime. I wouldnt hold your breath for a movie.

Oh and more on topic; I really liked District 9 (even though it seems its not being officially released here). :)

That looks MUCH better than the Landfall vid I watched on xbox live, but I guess thats because they put more into the special effects maybe. Makes me want to get ODST now :D

Everyone like the other videos so Knowing that, yeah your probably right. They put some more money into this to get some more special effects. Different people made it but you know bungie are there to give it that feel and base like the other videos and I just think it would be an amazing movie.

I really want to know why the WB, Jackson, Weta, Whats his face and Bungie could not get it going, probably to many cooks in the kitchen I would expect and sky rocketing costs as a result. To many people wanting a peace of the pie.

QuoteHe suggested that the film, which depicts people wanting to eat aliens to gain the superhuman powers, should not be taken too literally.

"Its a story, you know," he said. "Its not like Nigerians do eat aliens. Aliens dont even exist in the first place."
