Blomkamp Wants 'District 10'

Blomkamp Wants ‘District 10’

district-9-sequel_lWith director Neill Blomkamp’s District 9 making just over $37 million at the domestic box office this weekend ($7 million more than the production budget), it only makes sense that the studio and crew would be gearing up to return to the project for more. In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, Blomkamp mentioned that he would love to return to the franchise in a sequel.

”I would do anything to go back to the world of District 9 again,” Director Neil Blomkamp says. ”Or District 10.”

It makes perfect sense for the studio to do a sequel as well, being both cheap to make and lucrative. Also, with the story, the Robocop-style ending leaves the film open for many directions, and possibly many more films. We are even guilty of comparing this film to last year’s Cloverfield in our review, but the film has a similar tone.

The difference in this situation is that Cloverfield ends with pretty much no room for a sequel, unless you were to tell the story again from a different point of view. This would work out in the D9 universe perfectly. No word yet on how or if this will effect production on Jackson and Blomkamp’s Halo film.

    District 9 created a whole new atmosphere in filming, especially with a ending that the movie had, their would be no excuses in continuing on, i mean think ABOUT IT. So many possibilities could be made for the new film, i won’t mention anything so i don’t give out any spoliers but people who have seen the film should know what i am talking about. I say make way for DISTRICT 10.
