So this South African dude named Neill Blomkamp makes this trippy short about aliens slumming on Earth. Literally living in slums and tapping into the power grid illegally. Great short film, which you can see here: Alive in Joburg.
Well, this flick gets all sorts of attention, and the guy is pushed forward as the director for the Halo film, which doesn't happen, but here's where it gets cool: Looks like they made a feature film out of Alive in Joburg, which you can see here: District 9.
This looks like good SF, which is a rarity. Let me know what you think. Is it worth my while to get excited?
