'DISTRICT 9' DIRECTOR NEILL BLOMKAMP RELEASES TEASER FOR "EXPERIMENTAL" SHORT FILM
ReedeFox > 30/05/2017, 11:46
District 9 director Neill Blomkamp has just launched Oats Studios, which was set up so the director could try his hand at making "experimental short films" which will be available to watch online via Steam.
If Blomkamp's previous films are anything to go by, these short films should be freakin amazing. I was totally drawn in by District 9 and Elysium and I'm expecting big thing from his upcoming short films.
One of the short films, dubbed Volume 1, appears to depict an alternate 20th century history where humans wage war against a race of lizard-like alien invaders; with Blomkamp writing on Twitter "Alternate Vietnam war timelines are coming."
The trailer opens with a shot of an overgrown Eiffel Tower, as a voiceover explains that aliens have come to exterminate humanity. The trailer then shows a woman shooting an alien and American soldiers flying over Vietnam. Check out the trailer:
Some exciting stuff happening there. I look forward to seeing more. -

I watched District 9 years ago, now if I remember correctly, it's set in South Africa, right?, where there's a disease outbreak of some sort, the word that keeps coming to mind, when I think of District 9, is 'prawns' -

Yeah thats the one Outlaw. Awesome film. You should try Elysium too. Chappie was ok too but the Die Antwood actors were a tad distracting in that movie. -

It was an alien ship that settled in South Africa but instead of it being the elite of that race it was the workers who weren't all that intelligent so set up camp on earth as they were unable to get home. -

That is an excellent short. I do like his work, and been impatiently waiting for a sequel to District 9 since the ending of the first one.
His new studio should probably mean some interesting films if he recruits directors similar to him with their own style. -

Have seen Elysium, it's the futuristic one, with Matt Damon right?, how the elite live on a space stacion, & the poor are left to fend for themselves on Earth?
Kept meaning to check out Chappie, am I correct in thinking Hugh Jackman's in it?, or am I thinking of Real Steel? -

That is Elysium Outlaw, the poor left to struggle while the rich live above them and hoard everything (pretty much real life). You are actually thinking of both, Hugh Jackman is in both Chappie and Real Steel. Personally i quite liked Chappie, not quite the standard of his previous films but still good (if badly marketed).
Shame his Alien sequel will never be made mind.
