District 9 movie sequel coming, called … District 10 (film news).
The official Twitter feed of Neill Blomkamp has confimed that a District 9 movie sequel is coming, called … District 10.
The movie was a scifi take on xenophobia and social segregation, set in an alternate 1982, after an alien spaceship appears over Johannesburg, South Africa.
When a slave race population of sick and malnourished insectoid aliens are discovered on the ship, the South African government confines them to an internment camp called District 9.
Twenty years later, during the government’s relocation of the aliens to another camp, one of the confined aliens nick-named Christopher Johnson, who is about to try to escape from Earth with his son and return home, crosses paths with a bureaucrat leading the relocation named Wikus van der Merwe.
Not sure where the new movie will go, seeing as Christopher escaped Earth in the end?
Somewhere very different, hopefully.
District 10 screenplay also being written by @sharlto @territatchell and I. Its coming…
