Boring ass movie
Absolutely agreed.
A sequel called District 10 has been written. About a year ago Neill Blomkamp said he’s unsure about making it now but believes it might be made in the future.
You’re not thinking this through. Bring the Krill into the F&F movies.
And they can all be a big happy FAMILY !!!
guess you’re not family.
i did always want a sequel where the aliens came back and wrecked shit with their actual military so i can cheer them on
Part 2 is happening irl right now in occupied Palestine.
They are making a district 10.
There’s been vague rumours for 15 years now. I’ll believe it when I see it.
So I saw a blurb about this recently and it seems unfounded. Only 1 place was reporting anything and nowhere else online would corroborate it.
The last known news before that was the project is currently on hold for an unknown length of time. It may or may not get made. It’s far from certain yet.
Why? The first one was very experimental. They release a second one they are given two bad choices. They continue the original cinematic vision but being a sequel the plot suffers and it fails or they try something new and it falls flat.
Why ruin a perfectly, self contained, what I would consider masterpiece by trying to expand the universe.
I would be ok with exploring the world some more but maybe in more traditional heros tale type outline. Even then half the audience will think your getting, excuse the bad joke, “district 10.”
Not just experimental, but an afterthought made with leftovers of a partially made movie that production failed on.
The location, props, cgi, and even parts of the story were the scraps of the Halo movie that Peter Jackson started to make before abandoning it.
The result was an excellent movie, but the circumstances of slapping a new coat of paint onto a half produced film make for a very unique and hard to replicate product.
Most sequels are sub-par, agreed. But this story does seem half-finished at the end of the film, a sequel would practically write itself.
Tbh, the sequel is the aliens come back and conquer humanity, but since the whole thing is a metaphor for apartheid politics, the sequel plays into a bit of a different narrative than anti-racism.
Though it’d honestly be pretty great if the sequel was the aliens don’t come back, but Earth tears itself apart worrying about what will happen if they do.
Hold up. People assume it’s about apartheid. Remember all those clips of South Africans saying “they should go back where they come from” in that documentary montage at the beginning? Those were real clips of people talking about immigrants from Zimbabwe. District 9 is about immigration.
I’d say more refugees than immigration per se, but yeah, it’s about that too. The great thing about a metaphor about “othering” people is it can apply to a lot of things. Racism, immigration, jingoism, homophobia, etc.
It’s taken mostly as a metaphor for apartheid because of the, you know, country and the apartheid they did in recent history and the apartheid done in the movie, but there’s plenty of meaning to be found in “don’t be a bigot and don’t let people starve out of neglect and spite.”
Actually I thought the aliens wouldn’t come back to conquer earth, that would be boring and a tired trope. I thought it would be about rescuing thier people, and everyone on earth just assumes they are here to invade.
I’m no screenwriter, and I’m not sure what social commentary would be appropriate, but it just sounds like a fun movie. And Wikus deserves some closure.
They said before making mortal combat annihilation
Touché
I really really want a super 8 sequel or triology in general (so 2 more movies)
Think it could be pretty good but maybe they didn’t think it out that far.
Anyone got a list of sci fi movies based off a book series that just never made another movie after the first before I ask GPT? lol
Does he have different eyeballs.
I raise you the complete Marvel trash heap and several individual “sequels” made in the last 5 or so years. Neill Blomkamp has so many ideas, literally dozens of teasers are on YouTube. Most of them are seriously awesome. Do we really have to wait until all the geriatric Hollywood dinosaurs are dead? And with then their talentless and greedy “protégés”?
Christopher Nolan disagrees.
Yes, google it, I was amazed too.
Huh?
Didn’t what’s his butt say he’d never make a sequel? Or am I misconstruing memories on Terantino lying about how he was only going to ever make 7 movies (or what ever the number was exactly).
Oh fuck yes! Any time!
