/Film has got their hands on a new photo from Neil Blomkamp‘s District 9. The film is a super secret sci-fi project produced by Peter Jackson, based on Blomkamp’s short film Alive in Joburg. Blomkamp was set to direct the film adaptation of Halo, but the project has fallen through. Check out the full photo after the jump.
Plot: An extraterrestrial race forced to live in slum-like conditions on Earth suddenly find a kindred spirit in a Multi-National United agent (Sharlto Copley) that is exposed to their biotechnology. He must go on the run from the oppressive government into District 9, a internment camp where “non-humans” have been forced to live since landing on Earth nearly 30 years ago.
The trailer was supposed to premiere before Crank: High Voltage, but got pulled last minute. Let’s hope it hits with Angels & Demons.
The film is set for a August 14th, 2009 release.
What do you think of District 9?
