@@Unknown-r2p2o okay entirely, but the idea of both evil corporate extracting resources from aliens, both characters help the alien race, both characters turned to alien.
Even with the fact Alien 5 was supposed to have a Xenomorph virus that made people literally just explode into Xenomorphs like the Fly transformation scene from Goldblum's version? I mean I'm personally all for that, it's the main plot point I have for my own in process Alien fanfic
it's 2024... There's a good chance all the humans and most of the aliens will be gay, wheelchair-bound and trans. Also instead of eating cat food the aliens will be cat furries.
It had everything!! Perfect lead, vfx/ sfx that holds up today, great story and characters. It was a crazy ride; it had laughs, suspense, gritty action, dark themes, social commentary, and it even managed to pull on our heart strings.
The fact district 9 was originally supposed to be a halo movie and then became its own thing entirely and actually worked well is astounding. Totally deserved a sequel.
Yes, but I’d rather wait 15 years for an “amazing film” then wait 5-6 years for an “ok film”. Writing can be funky as you can get writers block for years and then even the story you think is finally “awesome” gets regarded as “so-so” when the script gets passed around for editing or peer review. Sometimes it’s better to just take your time until you get the right script on paper. Typically though after this long the investors will want to review the script first before they bankroll the movie and might send the script back for rewrites ten times… unless it’s a big billion dollar production company that has its own money and doesn’t need investment, then you end up getting a crappy cash grab. That all said, because they need outside funding, all signs are pointing to this being a banger script or it probably wouldn’t have been made.
Shialto Copley playing the badass in Elysium was cool after seeing him as the reluctant hero in District 9. Also, when Copley's head blows up in Elysium, it is one of the best on film.
Tbh, I see your point, but I like Blomkamp's work. I was a big fan of every Oats studio's release and am looking forward to him getting the space to work on a full scale project like this. Hell, I even love each video game trailer he's directed, except for that one about the shitty crypto battle royale extraction shooter game lol
Before it was explained what they were gathering materials & assembling them for, I remember saying out loud in the cinema, "Are they making alien meth?!"
Sharlto Copley is a frickin amazing actor. Way underated. He was also the main character in a mystery/zombie movie called Open Grave that IMHO was a fantastic movie.
I just watched this movie after reading your comment and came back to respond. It was funny because I thought I had seen it before while watching it and realized I had seen it before but only remembered little bits here and there. The funny part was that the movie has to do with having no memory and slowly returning over time just like I remembered I had seen the film before while watching it. The movie was OK but it could have been a lot better with better actors and a bigger budget. Copley has gotten a lot better since then as well. I would have really liked to play a video game with the same concept, it would be pretty cool in that aspect. I also wanted to add it is an Outbreak/plague/pandemic movie not a Zombie movie. Close enough though.
The evolution of Wikus is actually one of the best in cinema! We start off finding him totally obnoxious & a complete jobsworth. We then start to feel sorry for Him. Then when He starts to fight back, we find ourselves super stoked that He’s finally standing up for himself! (& then realise he makes a better Alien than he does, Human.) Also, the special effects they use for the Alien weaponry is insanely cool! 👌
I don’t wanna be pessimistic but if the script is already written that could be a bad sign. We all know the kinds of movies and shows that were coming out in 2024 and how they’ve managed to gobble up and ruin almost every decent IP available. I loved District 9 I hope this is a worthy successor, we’re starving for good movies out here.
District 9 was a breath of fresh air it was something new. First time I was like tf am I watching main characters accent was bothering me the style of interview like scenes etc. But after the second watch it just grew on me and everything he's directed after that I've loved
District 9 is such a phenomenal film, I love how it has body horror in their with the main character transforming into something else and then being on the side of the species and seeing how bad he and the humans treated them before he got genetically altered.
Moon was such a good sleeper film of 09 , Sam Rockwell is really good in it.. District 9 was nominated for an Academy Award for best picture 💙.. Most of the weapons you see in the film were scrapped concepts from Neil's Halo film he was making, and was repurposed for District 9..
I Fkin LOVE Sharlto Copely!! He was perfect for this role. His arc was heartbreaking, but most of all believable. His range is amazing. He is hilarious in Hardcore Henry.
FINALLY! It's only gonna take 20 YEARS for it to finally happen! Wikus has been waiting for Chris to come back ever since 2009 and so are we. This movie was amazing. Best Blomkamp movie of all. You want a movie that shows best what South Africa went through in a sci-fi tale? THIS IS IT. Perfect. It's reality in its purest form but with aliens. It's genius. I really hope Blomkamp brings even more of that because it's the best part. The apartheid metaphor, it's shocking, it's cathartic, it's disgusting, it's painful, it's everything. Take what was in the first one and evolve it on the sequel. Show what happened to Wikus, his family, the MNU, the District 10, the aliens. What's scary? This is a sequel to an old movie and there's a LOT of expectation, so there's a lot of risk and little to waste. If the story isn't as good as the first one, we could not see another one for decades again. Let's hope it is, positive thoughts.
I guess I’m old enough that now I rewatch some movies I remember loving and no longer feel the same, but District 9 is not one of them. It’s aging like fine wine
the aliens are refugees. i wonder what turned them into refugees. wouldnt it be cool if the alien race that was waring with the prawns comes to earth to finish them off. idk maybe it would be dumb.
That could be very interesting and very accurate to what happened to South Africa. They were colonized by the dutch AND the british, so we could see an even worse alien race wanting to take over.
They left their planet because they lost the war against the aliens from Battle Los Angeles 😂, then those aliens tracked them to earth and that’s why Battle LA invasion happened… Jk that’s just my own cross over films idea. Both movies are sort of similar in terms of the design aspect.
I was definitely thinking Wikis should be a revolt leader too. I love how the first movie took its time with his transformation. And how the aliens started looking up to him, but he still rejected it due to him still wanting his old life back.
@WildFungus similar to Mikhail (Cyrillic) and Michael in English. Or Juan and John. I get it. I just know how it was spelled because he left such an impression on me as a protagonist. Very good character and acting. Memorable. wonder how South African law enforcement would perceive his name though... 🤔
@@Sammy_Boy_Smith you're right. I'm re-watching the alien series right now in release order. Just finished resurrection. Last night. Tonight is alien vs predator.
one of the best things was how the aliens were so compelling you felt sorry for them but also the intelligence of the child and the technology that made sense. of course all the actors did a great job
Whenever I saw District 9 in the theater, I was blown away. It was all I could think about and talk about for days. To this day, it's one of my top 5 movies of all time.
He's such a good actor that I didn't even realize they were the same person from those two movies until you just told me that and put them side-by-side what phenomenal range
The prawns were never originally prawns, they ended up being how they are in the films due to leaks inside the ships exposing them to that black goo which causes them to mutate into a prawn and for most loses their intellegence and know how which is why most of them are dumb. If the aliens returned for all we know they could look identicle to human beings before being exposed to that fuel over months while being locked up in a ship. That was the whole point in them flying back there because the aliens are capable of reversing the change meaning thats not what theyre sapposed to look like that was the whole goal of the film and im sure that a sequel would revolve around that more than anything
Wikus was really good in Hardcore Henry too, shame he doesn't get any work he's a character genius. I get what you are saying but there's a big plot point in the first film that you are forgetting. Wikus has a buddy who is some kind of leader caste of the aliens, he's been collecting the goo to try and get the ship to work again right, he's the leader, the rest of them are worker ant types, but you would think on a ship that size there would have been an entire Bridge Crew of command staff. What happened to them all? they seem to have died /before/ the aliens show up, this implies a worker uprising or mutiny of some sort. The aliens when they come back may be unhappy with the worker revolt and may want revenge on the workers for killing the leaders on the original ship... I think this is likely to be a facet of the storytelling.
Yo Zaffy I just found your channel today and I love your videos you do a great job with them. So far I've watched this one, the Riddick vid, spawn, and the Cloverfield one. Really enjoyed your Cloverfield theory about how they're all connected. Keep up the good work man!
Been over 10+ years but watched it again. Very impressive, honestly!!! holds up over time and any visual issues are forgivable with such a amazing human story. Hopefully if they make a sequel they break the pattern of ruining IP's. 😢
This movie was so ahead of its time. One of my absolute favorite movies ever. The acting of the lead was Oscar worthy. The story is amazing. And the ending. Your like damn we earthlings are in deep crap if they come back for revenge or to grab the rest left here.
Hell yeah, it's about time! I'd like to see some of the stories under the Oates Studios channel on RUclips more fully fleshed out (Zygote and Firebase in particular, but all of them were pretty good).
Info on the actual upcoming movie starts 11:10 (In case you already watched district 9 and don't need to hear some kid in a halloween costume ranting about a movie everyone has seen inorder to understand the context of the district 10 leaks)
I was in school when i saw distric 9 on Netflix envelopes thats came to the mailbox, i LOVED it so much, it has been embedded in my mind for years CANT WAIT FOR DISTRICT 10
District 9 was so well done. There was so much depth to the whole environment. Vikkus was incredible. Dudes performance was as good as it gets. 9 was extremely memorable, unlike the vast majority of films nowadays. I hope 10 can match 9’s brilliance. 🤙🏽
One of my favorite movies that i rewatched and kept searching for when another movie would come out, and i love how it was more international and realistic
The reason District 9 really got to me was, that I'm South African and it was cool to see an alien film in my country. Two, It finally showed that aliens see the rest of the world. Three, It had an amazing plot that showed the most realistic way we humans would approach aliens. Lastly, the fact that you don't need big bucks to make a good movie. So take that Hollywood and Disney.
In his defence, they were trying to do this when D9 first came out, a whole trilogy i think but D9 just did so poorly commercially. Im just happy they finally get to do it. And the movie youre thinking about is an animated gem starring Robin Williams called Fern Gully. Its literally a live-action, alien world version lmao. I hate the co.parison since theyre both some of my favorite movies in my life but yeah
The Japanese internment camp idea would be really interesting to see but I'm calling it now, it might take some inspiration from that, but you know damn well Hollywood has the biggest obsession with black people and it's 100% going to obsess about them and make every piece of media about their oppression they can and this upcoming movie isn't going to be an exception.
I'd also recommend watching "Europa Report" for more of the same actor. Pro-tip: get a very nice screen/projector for this movie, it has very beautiful scenery
I've been waiting for a sequel to this movie 🔥🔥🔥🔥. I like the ideas in this video but I would like more details into the culture of the Prawns, especially the gangs Vickers mentioned at the beginning. Stating there were " gang" names/symbols on the doors of some Prawn residences
I detect no lie with your commentary. The actor you mention transforming to an alien was in a movie called Chappie. This actor is so underrated, it’s appalling he didn’t win a Grammy for it!
Best Effects ever ! Even compared to movies from 2024. Plus original plot and story Cant wait for part 2. District 9 is what Sci Fi movies now are trying to be.
I hope Blomkamp knocks it out of the park with District 10. He peaked too hard at the beginning with District 9. I was excited when I heard about him doing the next Alien movie after Prometheus, but then fucking Ridley Scott just HAD to come back. People say that it wouldn't have been good anyways, but it would have atleast been something new instead of what we got in Covenant. He just really needs a win, I will be going to the theater day 1 for District 10. On another note I do love your speculations and theories, they are honestly better than most of the shit I see come out. It would be cool to see an alien liberation turn into a full scale alien invasion, and to be fair why wouldn't they just take over once they come back? Anyways keep up with the awesome videos, they kick ass! 👊
I've been STARVING for district 10 ever since district 9. Probably the most gritty and real alien movie ive ever seen. We need more.
Check out the shorts Blomkamp did after with Unreal Engine.
District 10 is the relocated camp/slum outside Johannesburg.
I just want to see how we go from Prawns in camps to badass parkour in the suburbs of Paris. We've got 3 films to bridge the gap, let's do this!
@@filipmartinez1162 oh,.the series he tried to get ppl to produce, n the shorts ended up on Netflix.
@@WanderlustZeroLmaoo so true
I found District 9 coz i was looking for the other District movie lol

Honestly the story is kinda same, but I prefer D9, but of course both films CGI are incredible.
Crank this shit to 11
No not the same they don’t really have romantic story in D9 it wasn’t that guy choice to turn into an alien
@@Unknown-r2p2o okay entirely, but the idea of both evil corporate extracting resources from aliens, both characters help the alien race, both characters turned to alien.
100% right take.
District 9 showed the world how to do it right. It´s a shame, that man wasn´t allowed to make Alien 5
Even with the fact Alien 5 was supposed to have a Xenomorph virus that made people literally just explode into Xenomorphs like the Fly transformation scene from Goldblum's version? I mean I'm personally all for that, it's the main plot point I have for my own in process Alien fanfic
Or the Robocop 2 remake.
Don't forget Niel was supposed to make the Halo movie but Fox said no and made District 9 instead.
Not a bad trade off in all honesty.
I'd take an animated Aliens sequel based on Blomkamps' initial treatment and storyboard.
@@nickynegron3515 not too far from the black goo
District 9 is a brilliant sci-fi film. A sequel was long overdue. I hope it's equally as good.

Really? I don't see anything Halo related. Unless it changed during the early story boarding
@ the entire planetary ring the rich live on is the halo from the game
@ sadly they ran out of budget so it got dropped until it got picked up again and became district 9

Wouldn’t it be weird. It’s over a decade. D9 was in 2009, set as the same year. After 3 years later, it should be 2012.
I was just saying this to myself at the begging of the video
I just watched District 9 again with my 16 year old son. He absolutely loved it. I can’t believe how good that movie was after all these years.

District 9 was so well done. There was so much depth to the whole environment. Vikkus was incredible. Dudes performance was as good as it gets. 9 was extremely memorable, unlike the vast majority of films nowadays. I hope 10 can match 9’s brilliance. 🤙🏽
One of my favorite movies that i rewatched and kept searching for when another movie would come out, and i love how it was more international and realistic
Damn bro that's a fire pitch ! I'd watch that.
Finally! Also the guy who turned into a alien was in that lion movie beast. His performance was good in it if you want to check it out.
he's in everything niel does
Hopefully Niel will have complete creative control still
Thank you for this one-eyed willie!
I think you pretty much nailed the. Either way, I've been looking forward to this movie since I first saw the first one.
Would love to hear your take on chronicle
The reason District 9 really got to me was, that I'm South African and it was cool to see an alien film in my country. Two, It finally showed that aliens see the rest of the world. Three, It had an amazing plot that showed the most realistic way we humans would approach aliens. Lastly, the fact that you don't need big bucks to make a good movie. So take that Hollywood and Disney.
This guy has very similar vocal mannerisms as Gokunaru
Great vid
I've always liked District 9. I've only ever met one other person who liked this movie.
"I don’t know if it’s getting made or not. I don’t know if I even want to make that right now." - Neil Blomkamp
The knowing was not trash.... 😅 I know this because I watched it a million times
In his defence, they were trying to do this when D9 first came out, a whole trilogy i think but D9 just did so poorly commercially. Im just happy they finally get to do it.
And the movie youre thinking about is an animated gem starring Robin Williams called Fern Gully. Its literally a live-action, alien world version lmao. I hate the co.parison since theyre both some of my favorite movies in my life but yeah
It did well commercially, but his other films didn’t
District 10 why?
The Japanese internment camp idea would be really interesting to see but I'm calling it now, it might take some inspiration from that, but you know damn well Hollywood has the biggest obsession with black people and it's 100% going to obsess about them and make every piece of media about their oppression they can and this upcoming movie isn't going to be an exception.
Sounds like this is really getting your goat. Ya Japanese? Stop looking at such weird porn ya weirdos!
Dope concept.
I'd also recommend watching "Europa Report" for more of the same actor. Pro-tip: get a very nice screen/projector for this movie, it has very beautiful scenery
Nice viddler Mein Freund das ist Very Gut 😊
I've been waiting for a sequel to this movie 🔥🔥🔥🔥. I like the ideas in this video but I would like more details into the culture of the Prawns, especially the gangs Vickers mentioned at the beginning. Stating there were " gang" names/symbols on the doors of some Prawn residences
I detect no lie with your commentary. The actor you mention transforming to an alien was in a movie called Chappie. This actor is so underrated, it’s appalling he didn’t win a Grammy for it!
Neil should do more sci-fi movies. He's supremely talented !
I'll believe it when I see it. Rumors of sequels and prequels been going strong since around 2012.
Best Effects ever ! Even compared to movies from 2024. Plus original plot and story Cant wait for part 2. District 9 is what Sci Fi movies now are trying to be.
FINALLY! :O
I hope Blomkamp knocks it out of the park with District 10. He peaked too hard at the beginning with District 9. I was excited when I heard about him doing the next Alien movie after Prometheus, but then fucking Ridley Scott just HAD to come back. People say that it wouldn't have been good anyways, but it would have atleast been something new instead of what we got in Covenant. He just really needs a win, I will be going to the theater day 1 for District 10.
On another note I do love your speculations and theories, they are honestly better than most of the shit I see come out. It would be cool to see an alien liberation turn into a full scale alien invasion, and to be fair why wouldn't they just take over once they come back?
Anyways keep up with the awesome videos, they kick ass!
👊
2009: "oh man that was such a crazy dystopian movie..."
2024: "2025 looking crazy lol..."
