Peter Jackson along with Neill Blomkamp have been working on hard on District 9, a new movie about what happens when humans try to coexist with aliens on Earth. We mentioned this movie a while ago as unlikely related to Halo, and today it is proven that this is a totally different story as the official full-length movie trailer is released onto the Internet.

Aliens landed on Earth years ago and have been disallowed by humans (governments) to leave the planet. They are placed in District 9, a holding camp for the aliens who no humans are allowed to interact with. Asking “Why can’t they leave?” is the key plot to the movie and it seems the aliens soon become frustrated and begin to do people harm in an effort to leave the planet. This is what I got from the trailer at least.

The movie looks to take a realistic approach, shot in a similar way to what Cloverfield felt like (sans the shaky cam). Visual effects and CG should also be quite awesome. District 9 definitely seems to be an all-in-all promising movie from the director of Lord of the Rings, coming out this August 14. Be sure to check back for more! Here is the latest trailer for District 9.
