Interesting Trailer for Neill Blomkamp's "District 9"

Another new trailer also released recently, which is the first official trailer for the upcoming sci-fi movie "District 9" that produced by Peter Jackson and directed by Neill Blomkamp, who is making his full length feature debut. Before this, we also have seen the first photo from the film in the newest issue of Entertainment Weekly. Blomkamp is best known for directing commercials and short films, and Microsoft previously engaged him to shoot three commercials for the product launch of the "Halo 3" video game. You can check the trailer after the break below (via WP), it's like a documentary at first but somehow shown the film potentiality to be a smart and exciting sci-fi.

The movie's plot is known to be based on "Alive in Joburg," a short film which produced by Neill Blomkamp, Sharlto Copley, Simon Hansen and Shanon Worley, it was about aliens landing in Africa and becoming slaves/migrant workers. In the movie they are called the "Non-Humans" and are forced to work by the fictional company, Multi National United (MNU for short). It seems that MNU is quite racist, as they speak to Non-Humans in harsh tones and give them very little necessities, but do the opposite to humans. Throughout the film, the Non-Humans will try to free themselves from MNU's grasp. The film is a thinly veiled social commentary on the present day anti-Zimbabwean xenophobia found in many parts of South Africa, as well as the apartheid past of South Africa (recall District Six, Cape Town).
