Blomkamp High-budget Movie
Captain Morgan \| 5:00 PM on 09.18.2008	4 comments

If you have heard of the sci-fi director Niel Blomkamp, then you may have heard that he is making a new movie titled District 9.

I hadn't seen much with it since I first heard of it, but, if you were at Comic-Con, you may have seen signs like the one above. I was exited to see some more on this movie!

It appears to be an expansion on Blomkamps earlier short film Alive in Joburg. However, what really interests me about this upcoming movie is how Sony is running the show. They have launched a viral campaign including an MNU website, a non-human blog, and a D-9 website. If you're interested, check them out:

I hate this viral marketing bullshit. Why don't they just put out a trailer?

I also hate viral marketing crap

Viral is fun for those who are IN on the concept or idea.

Anyway:

I like the short and I look forward to seeing a full feature.

about me

Hi.

My real name is Brandon, and yes, I'm drunk.

I am a poor student living in Colorado playing the hell out of my Xbox.

Oh yea! I own a 360

As of now, I also own a NES, a N64, a PS2, and a Gamecube.

I believe that the greatest system made so far has to be the PS2 but feel free to bitch about that.

A few of my favorite games are:

Bioshock
The Legend of Zelda
Final Fantasy X
Gears of War
Halo

I love almost every genre known to man.
