New District 9 Image, Georges (MNUSpreadsLies) Name

A new official image for District 9 was released earlier today. Take a look:

It shows the spaceship on the right, as you can see, as well as some MNU officers patrolling the border.

Also, George from MNUSpreadsLies.com is no longer George. He is going by the name of Christopher, now. Whether its a character change or something to do with the viral is yet to be seen. Some people are throwing out the idea MNU has taken over the blog, but it seems to me like its more of a Sony-young-viral-marketing-experience mistake, unrelated to the viral.

My best guess is the Non-Human in the movie is actually named Christopher, and they originally didn’t want the MNUSpreadsLies character in the move – but later decided he was going to be – so they changed his name (to match the character in the movie). I could be wrong.

So far I would rate this viral at a 3/10. Its been slow and uneventful. I still think the movie is looking good, but the viral isn’t doing to well.

Thanks to FirstShowing.net (research) and James (emailing me).

    Obviously it IS part of the viral campaigning.

    Sorry, but an alien named George?! Or Christopher, even?! That’s absurd. According to the viral campaign, ‘George’ was being held by the government and interviewed, right? So when you release a being like that, he might need a new cover, or whatever. Thus the name-change.

    Just saying.

    But calling it a Sony-young-viral-marketing mistake is too easy. It would kill the whole intention of this movie.

    Nope, there’s a reason for this, for sure. (Especially with the release of this image, which obviously has a reason to it.)

    You could be right. Thats just my opinion.

    my thoughts is that:
    A) it was a mistake (you can go to mnuspreadslies and see that the bottom of the posts still say george, the older ones at least)

    B) if not, George is dead and Christopher took over

    C) Christopher is a new Alias

    Is it me or seems like there is so many movies that flop these days. Unless you like transformers…. I loved it!
