DISTRICT 9 DVD SPEC ED (Net)
From Sony Pictures Home Entertainment! From producer Peter Jackson, the Academy Award-winning director of The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, comes this sci-fi thriller based on the acclaimed short documentary-style film, Alive in Joburg, by Neill Blomkamp! In District 9, it's been 30 years since the aliens made first contact. Now merely refugees, the aliens are housed by the government of South Africa in District 9 as politicians and world leaders debate how to handle the situation. As the human population begins to grow wary of the unwelcome intruders, a private company called Multi-National United (MNU) is assigned the task of controlling the aliens. But MNU is less interested in the aliens' welfare than attempting to understand how their weaponry works. When MNU field operative Wikus van der Merwe (Sharlto Copley) contracts an unusual virus that causes his DNA to mutate, he unwittingly becomes the key to unlocking the alien's technology, and quickly becomes the most wanted man on the planet! Ostracized and isolated, Wikus retreats to District 9 in a desperate bid to shake his dogged pursuers. Scheduled to ship in October 2009.
