It seems to be the day for cool looking posters, as following the fantastic Christmas Carol teaser we posted earlier today comes the new one-sheet for District 9, the new movie produced by Peter Jackson and directed by Neill Blomkamp.
It’s basically makes it look like Independence day meets Blade Runner. It fits well with the viral marketing they’ve done for the film, which involves fake websites such as www.mnuspreadslies.com, which includes a new video on alien reproductive systems, and various other guerilla marketing efforts, including the previously released the teaser poster (which is posted here on the right). They’re certainly starting to build the hype for what could be a very cool movie.
District 9 follows a group of aliens who are forced to live in slum conditions in a compound on Earth, hated by the human population and opressed by the all-powerful MNU corporation. However they get unlikely human ally when a man is exposed to their biotechnology. If you wanna see the trailer, CLICK HERE, and look below to see the brand new poster image.
The film is out in the UK on September 4th and promises to be a violent sci-fi treat.
