District 10 Gets Uncertain Update From Director 2 Years After It Began Development
Director Neill Blomkamp offers an uncertain update on District 10, confessing he's not sure if he's interested in making the District 9 sequel.
District 9 (2009)
Neill Blomkamp's District 9 combines sci-fi with social commentary in an alternate history in which humans and aliens eke out a tentative coexistence. When a large alien ship appears outside of Johannesburg, humans find it full of sickly and malnourished extraterrestrials they name "Prawns". After housing the aliens in a slum named District 9, one human finds himself far closer to the Prawn community than he bargained for.
