MNU Spreads Lies has a new post by George, a non-human equal rights advocate. This post talks about how Multi-National United is using alien technology for what he calls “cruel” activities. He talks about how the non-humans have always used the weapons for “peaceful applications” as opposed to the humans who are now using it to “create weapons of devastating power”. The entire transcript is below:

Rest assured, dear reader – I AM STILL HERE. They could not find me, they could not catch me. I am nowhere, but I am everywhere.

I have been connecting with other members of the Resistance and there are things you must know. We’ve all been aware of some of MNU’s inhumane activities, but I dont think any of us ever expected to see just how evil they are.

Out homeland technology is a gift – it blesses us with forms of fuel, energy and protection superior to those found on this planet. Out people have always used tchnology for peaceful applications. But in the hands of the wrong people, this knowledge can be used to create weapons of devastating power. 

This is EXACTLY what is happening now. MNU is harvesting our precious technology to create inventions intended to destroy. It breaks our hearts to see the pride of our people being twisted to such cruel ends.

MNU is putting up a front that they are leveraging our technology to make clean forms of energy etc. But this is a sham. Weapons are their only goal. Weapons so devastating that once they are created, MNU will possess technology that could rule this simple human world, ready to sell to the highest bidding country.

They must be stopped. Join me, will you?

Excuse me for any minor inconsistencies between the actual post and this post.

UPDATE: To view the trailer in HD - http://www.apple.com/trailers/sony_pictures/district9/

The District 9 teaser was before Wolverine, which was released today. The trailer shows what seems to be a documentary being filmed (much like the Alive in Joburg short film this movie is based off of) in South Africa. The natives are talking about the aliens which now live amongst them, in a society I would call ’seprate but equal’. It shows an alien who’s face is blurred. Its my understanding in the movie, they won’t be. 

This movie is said by many to be the big summer surprise. When I saw it in front of Wolverine, people chuckled at it until they saw the “They are not human” text and then the massive craft hovering over the small city, then their faces went to “oh my god”.

For screen caps from the teaser click “read more” below.

UPDATE: The trailer will be posted online at 12:01 AM PST (thats 3:00 AM EST).

ComingSoon.net posted a new image. This image shows what I would say is the entrance into District 9. It shows some MNU workers guarding the entrance. The image also included a code with it, and you can see all of that below:

To save you some time, the code reads: NEW TRAILER ON APPLE.COM/TRAILER MAY 1. The cypher used to break this code can be found here.

That brings me into this discussion. It has been 100% confirmed the trailer WILL be attached to Wolverine (as I’ve heard this from multiple people). Also, this obviously says that there will be a trailer (probably the same one that goes before Wolverine) on Apple.com tomorrow.

Thanks to David for posting this on the forum.

UPDATE 4/27: The District 9 trailer WILL be before Wolverine, as been confirmed by JoBlo.com and FirstShowing.net. First Showing also reports the trailer will be online Thursday! Can’t wait! Follow us on Twitter for live updates.

According to JoBlo.com (via Twitter) the District 9 trailer will be (or AT LEAST is scheduled to be) before X-Men Origins: Wolverine. FirstShowing.net also hinted to me the trailer would be before Wolverine saying “I know a lot about District 9, including when the trailer will hit, and it’s not this week, I can assure you that. “. Of corse, Wolverine comes out next week.

Obviously this isn’t 100% confirmed (just look what happened with Crank), but it sure looks like at this time the trailer will be placed before X-Men. I doubt Sony would pull the trailer a second time. Expect a the trailer to be posted online sometime that Friday (if it is in fact before Wolverine).

Follow us on Twitter for live updates.

First official image of District 9 - "Wikus".

The first official image of District 9 has appeard. Its a picture of Sharlto Copley’s character ‘Wikus‘ who is an Multi-National United agent who is infected by alien biotechnology. Wikus is on the run, trying to enter District 9, which is a set-aside peice of land for aliens. Not much else is known about the movie.

This film is being kept quiet and not much is known about it at this point. A trailer, as I reported yesterday and today, was supposed to be attached to Crank: High Voltage but Sony pulled the trailer and aired the trailer for Armored insteaad.

The District 9 trailer is expected to be put in front of either Angels and Demons (my best guess, as I stated earlier), Star Trek, or Terminator. Expect the viral to pick up the day the trailer is aired, whether it appear on the internet or in front of a movie first.

Hopefuly Sony will realize people following the viral since August of last year are getting tired of waiting. 

*Research and Image from /Film, thanks to Ian from the forum for the heads up.

UPDATE: As far as I know, the trailer must have been pulled. It seems Sony originally planned on releasing it in front of Crank, but something must have changed (trailer not ready, etc.). So right now, as far as I know, there is NO trailer in front of Crank.

I’ve been told by JoBlo.com on Twitter that there was a District 9 trailer before Crank, but I’ve heard from multiple other sources there wasn’t. JoBlo showed me this proof (which is real).

So now I’m lost? Have you seen the trailer? Email me! Twitter me! CONTACT ME! Do something!

That rumour was false. FirstShowing.net confirmed to MovieViral today that there was no trailer in front of Crank.

Yup. No trailer yet. Keep checking back for updates. Register on my twitter for LIVE updates. Join the forum.

UPDATE: Alex from FirstShowing udated his twitter saying that he heard the District 9 trailer wouldn’t be before Crank. Thanks to David from the forum.

JoBlo.com updated their Twitter account saying the trailer for District 9 will be coming out before Crank: High Voltage. That movie is Rated R and comes out Friday. I hope this is true, but then again I didn’t want to see Crank.

A source from our forum says that they heard the trailer will be released online within 48 hours of this post (April 15th).

I guess we’ll see.
