To whom it may concern,
First off, if you’re reading this and you work on the District 9 set in South Africa, thanks for visiting. Now, lets get down to business. I wish to extend an invitation to those of you working on the District 9 set to send in images, information, or anything else to District9News.com. Your email address and identity will, obviously, be kept secret. I know that there are some crew members who do read this blog, so I’m asking you for a bit of help. Many people are doubting the viral and overall actuality of this movie, so any bit of information helps.
All I wish is when you send the information (photos, viral information, production updates, etc.) you prove you are a crew member (ex: provide an image of an area that hasn’t been released or take a picture of a piece of paper with your name or email on it in front of the set). I know some information has been released by at least one crew member earlier on in the year to JoBlo.com. So, if you do work on the set and have any images or information you wish to pass on to the public, email me personally at butler@District9News.com. I hope we can work something out.
I will be hosting a show every Saturday at 7PM Est. starting when the viral/information picks up. The D9 Show will be broadcast onto this website using Stickam. I will annouce the first show a week before it airs.
The District9News.com forum has moved to a new URL. It can now be found at MovieViral.com/forum. All accounts and all data is still there, the only thing changed is the URL. You may experience some problems because I am also doing some maintenance work on the forum.
IMDb (which in has been known to jump the gun) has 3 actors listed for District 9. Jason Cope (playing Christopher) Robert Hobbs (playing Ross Piennar)
and Sharlto Copley (playing Wikus)
These actors are at, what I will call, pre-Cloverfield level, meaning none of them have appeared in any major rolls in movies… so their unheard of. One thing I do find interesting is Sharlto Copley produced “Alive in Joburg” (the short film District 9 is based on).
Other random bits of news:
- JoBlo.com Sony 2009 Preview (includes District 9).
- District 9 received 0.1% of the vote for “Most Anticipated Movie of 2009″ on ComingSoon.net.
