Trailer Trash : District 9

This trailer is apparantly the most interesting part of seeing Wolverine, so save yourself 8 bucks and just watch it here. District 9, directed by Neil Blomkamp, is Peter Jackson’s first production gig since Lord of the Rings. He takes a totally different tone, doing a faux-documentary piece based on a short film called “Alive in Joberg.” “District 9” is about a group of aliens that come to earth (South Africa, specifically) looking for refuge and live as refugees in camps around the city. A large corporation, taking advantage of their technology, also enslaves and mistreats them. The film, an interesting look back at Apartheid South Africa, looks powerful and very well done. A lot of people are calling it Cloverfield meets Tutsi… I don’t really know how much action there will be, but the concept is definitely clever.
