New looks at District 9

July 14, 2009 By Craig Layne 8 Comments

Fist off I would like to thank long-time readers J.D. (movie4nobodies) and 3B for pointing these out to me.

I am very excited about District 9 and so far I am loving their viral campaign. From the public service ads to the full blown trailers. Above you can see the latest trailer to hit which really gives us some more insight on the film (sent to me by J.D. from movies4nobodies).

Below you can see a few public service ads that have been seen around the TV world. Special thanks to long time reader 3B for opening my eyes to these.

District 9 – Viral PSA HD

And finally, be sure to visit your local theater to see all sorts of For-Humans-Only signs and posters.

I am suspecting that the viral campaign goes a bit deeper than these few trailers so feel free to chime in and send me some more on District 9.

Hey Stan…
I was first put on to this film by Movieguys a while back…hadn’t seen anything else about it – but, this trailer was pretty kick-ass…

Maybe I’m wrong, but it seems to be mixing a kind of pseudo-documentary style with a traditional film style…that kind of thing could go either way…

But it still looks mad…I’ll be first in line to see this one.

BTW…I was referring to the trailer on your site, not the marketing spots above (which are cool in their own right).
(Just thought I’d make that clear…)

Thanks for the shout out. I am really looking forward to this one. I’m really surprised that we haven’t seen a little more of a push marketing-wise (other than the viral stuff on the net).

I’m stoked!

I got the same feeling Wadrick! I really think that is why it looks so awesome!

And anytime JD

what’s up guys? i just saw this movie the other day and I think you will all love it. It was pretty decent in regards to the acting, sfx and action. Make sure you don’t miss it.

Just watched Orphan and saw a new ( to me) full length trailer for D9. It looks really cool. I don’t know if you’ve seen it yet. It starts off with a reporter following military personel into district 9 to search for weapons. He finds some kind of alien canister that sprays something in his face. I goes into a montage of D9 awesomeness. I’m sure it’s on YouTube by now. I’m really excited about this one fellas. Really excited.

P.S. You should check out Orphan if you get a chance. I loved it. I though it was going to suck, but I loved it. Isabelle Fuhrman who plays the orphan is a spectacular 12 year old girl. I really hope to see more of her in future films. This girl has got it man. I’m gonna look around some to see if you have a discussion going about that movie. I want to see if I’m the only person that loved it.
