Looks interesting. If there is already a thread on this, then I apologize.

I'm very excited about this movie. It definitely got my attention with these ads:

I'm glad to see this thread. I'd like to see the movie on the first day....I can't remember the last time I was this excited for a movie not based on a comic haha.

*Raven* · 07-28-2009, 12:22 AM

teaser trailer didnt impress me at all, but the commercials are starting to grow on me as of late. I'll still probably wait until it comes out on DVD to catch this one though.

*Slap-Happy* · 07-28-2009, 06:31 AM

Anyone see the short film it's based on? It's called "Alive in Joburg" I think. It's on youtube.

*cqb101* · 07-28-2009, 09:18 AM

Been looking forward to this for what seems like years. I've been a huge Neil Blonkamp fan since I saw Alive in Joburg years ago.

Ginny · 07-28-2009, 12:06 PM

Yeah, this is one I'm looking forward to.

Thanks for the info, I'll have to check out Alive in Joburg.

This is what they ended up making after the Halo movie got suspended, yeah?

I'm pretty excited for it.

*Duke* · 07-28-2009, 03:33 PM

This is probably my most anticipated movie right now. I've been really interested in seeing it ever since I saw the trailer a few months ago.

Wait is this a apartheid film? We had something in our history about District 9.

It's not about segregation in South Africa, but about aliens coming and being segregated. So good job, you unknowingly found the meaning behind the title. I didn't know that.

Thanx ,now i know it too! O i confused it with district 6. Got the number wrong.

Marketing is picking up for this. Might be the second sleeper hit of the summer behind The Hangover.

Slightly off topic, but word is, Halo has been picked up by Steven Spielberg and Dreamworks studio, and there is talk of both SS and Peter Jackson working on the movie. Would be interesting to see how this would work out.

Link? I haven't heard anything about this, Jackson even said recently that his involvement with Halo is completely done at this point.

On topic, this movie is gonna be awesome. Ever since that "Alive in Joburg" thing, and the 3 Halo short-films he did, I've had an interest in where this director was going. Can't wait to see it.

Link to the Steven Spielberg taking control of the Halo project.

Damn. I really hope that turns out to be true. Halo is such a no-brainer for a live-action movie. Someone just needs to hurry up and make it happen.

*Warhorse* · 08-10-2009, 04:54 PM

Maybe with Spielberg at the helm, it will be sooner than later. Wonder if he might direct it? When he wants to, he can direct some seriously kick ass action sequences.

~~AquaParade~~ · 08-16-2009, 02:55 AM

Damn....Can't speak for anyone else, but it's definitely my favorite damn movie ever. Great characters, visuals, and music. All I need. Go See it Sci Fi fans...

I'd honestly recommend it for any fans of sci fi, videgames, or anime! It seems to remind me of all of these.

*Warhorse* · 08-16-2009, 02:16 PM

I'm going to see it tomorrow evening. Just couldn't find the time over the weekend.
