What is with the D-9 abbreviation?
D-9 is the abbreviation for District 9. A new film being produced by Peter Jackson and Directed by Neill Blomkamp: Creator of the popular live action Halo shorts you can find on YouTube and various other video sites around the net.
When did D-9 first appear?
These strange looking posters of what appears to be some sort of alien on them appeared all over Comic Con 2008 at the San Diego convention center. Posters containing this creature were placed everywhere. Not much information was given regarding D-9. Just their official website that appeared at the bottom of the poster,
www.d-9.com.
What is D-9 all about?
There’s no definite answer on that yet. All that is known is that is beginning a viral campaign similar to Cloverfield with their main viral site, D-9.com. There’s speculation that District 9 is going to be based off a short independent movie that Neill Blomkamp did back in 2005 called “Alive in Joburg.” It was a fictional documentary movie where an alien species have populated a South African shanty town, living an even more outcast life than the villagers themselves. A new kind of apartheid develops between locals aliens.
