Although cliche’d and generic, the Sci-Fi and Alien sub-genre’s have gone from strength to strength since Ridley Scott’s masterfully horrific adaptation of outer world life-form’s transgressing themselves with the human race. In recent years we’ve been inundated with Blockbuster epics in which Will Smith sought to tackle an entire race single handedly (I Am Legend) and the highly original (albeit flawed) emergence of “Cloverfield”, it would seem by now there would be minimal directions for these Aliens to now go…until now.
Peter Jackson is back and judging from the trailer this take on Aliens already existing on Earth (in South Africa of all places, nice to see the Yanks off the radar for a change) is something to kick up a fuss about.
Due for release Agusut 14th, DISTRICT 9 has the potential (key word) to be the bloclbuster of the summer, with many flops (of the Christian Bale variety) now behind us.
