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”.

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.

UPDATE 4/27: The District 9 trailer WILL be before Wolverine, as been confirmed by JoBlo.comandFirstShowing.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).
“. Of corse, Wolverine comes out next week.
