Rolling Stone magazine had a nice article in the newest issue (featuring Bob Dylan on the cover). They included it in the Summer movie preview. It includes interviews with both Blomkamp (director) and Jackson (producer). To read the article, click the image above.
I would say the most interesting quote is ”These aliens arrived 20 years ago in a dead, derelict mothership, which hovers above Johannesburg. It’s enormous, like the size of 10 football fields. The aliens have ended up in a Soweto-style township beneath the ship. It’s clear that they’re not really integrating into society. They like to scavenge things, rip up train tracks. So the authorities shift them 200 miles away, into the African belt. They’ve built a concentration camp.” Obviously, the concentration camp is known as ‘District 9′.
It also included a new image, as you can see below. I scanned it also, so here it is in a higher resolution.
A new District9News.com Video Update on the teaser trailer before Wolverine and the new post on MNUSpreadsLies.com. Make sure you subscribe to our YouTube channel.
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.
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.
