Anyone else excited for this one? This one has been one of those under the radar movies but watching the trailers is leaving me to want to see more. I'm always a sucker for a good sci-fi flick!

I've been curious about it also. The trailer on IMDB looks quite good.

This may be a movie that only interests Steves.

Seriously, I've watched the trailer for the movie several times now in theaters, and it does look thoughtful and interesting. As long as it doesn't deteriorate into just another battle of the big, ugly alien robots kind of movie, it might hold promise. We'll see.

Or the big ugly alien bugs. My bd of Dr. Who: Planet of Death should arrive today. I'll probably be the only one on the East Coast to watch hat one.

I'd like to see how well the director does because he made the short Halo films for Microsoft and is supposedly still attached to an upcoming Halo Feature film.

yeah, apparently this is the guy that peter jackson (when he was supposed to produce HALO) had in mind.

District9 Looks great, it peaks the interest. It would be an interesting trip to the cinemas.

7 for 7 so far on Rotten Tomatoes, this is looking very promising!

I just watched the HD trailer here...

It reminds me a lot of the Terminator Salvation trailer. Hopefully it's a better movie though.

I feel like I saw this movie back when it was called Alien Nation.

Granted, this looks like it has a more global view of the situation, but the idea of aliens stopping off and becoming stranded here while having to assimilate into human culture somehow. Perhaps with more nefarious motives.

So, not Lethal Weapon with aliens, but more like Body of Lies with aliens?

Just don't leave your heart in Sam Francisco...

Alien Nation essentially was driven by a diversity based theme presented through a rather standard buddy-cop story line. I really liked that series when it was out. District 9 looks a lot different to me but I do see the connection.
