District 9 hits theaters today and I wonder if all of their viral marketing is going to pay off.  Probably.  There isn’t much competition for it at the box office this weekend.
The film is co-produced by Peter Jackson, who is best known for his masterful work on the Lord of the Rings trilogy.  I know that he did a good job with those movies but that doesn’t mean that District 9 is going to be good.  I don’t know what it is but something about this movie just doesn’t appeal to me at all.

Peter Jackson made his long awaited first trip to Comic-Con this year to promote his protege Neill Blomkamp’s feature film debut, District 9. Rather than tell you all about this amazing-looking movie, I’ve got the full video of the event for you to watch and hear about it straight from Jackson, Blomkamp, and star newcomer Sharlto Copley.

Jackson fans will be keen to hear that he also discusses the current status of The Hobbit and the full details on what really happened to the Halo movie (and whether they hope to get back to it).
Enjoy!

The movie is being marketed through a bunch of online viral campaigns and, right until you see …read more

Could the proposed Halo movie crash into oblivion like a Covenant Wraith with a rocket up it’s rear end?
News reports state that production of the Halo movie has been halted until further notice. It seems Universal and Fox aren’t willing to pony-up the amount of money it would take to
“fulfill the promise we made to millions of Halo fans throughout the world that we would settle for no less than bringing a first class film to the big screen.”
I’m sorry, but do they realize how popular this movie would be? Granted it would be a mega-budget movie, but I …read more
