D-9, The Aliens are here and they look like Roaches

I've been following this project from Peter Jackson for a while. It is a twist on the alien theme that we haven't seen. Or at least done well and in our generation. This looks like it is going to be a phenomenal movie. Definitely has some more provocative themes running under the surface than just another alien flick. Seeing as how its set in South Africa, near Johannesburg, it is difficult not to think of apartheid. Hopefully this will deliver.
I haven't posted on it because I haven't been able to find en embeddable video. So I found this clip instead that gives you an idea what the movie will be like, and here are some links to other vids. D-9 website, and a new trailer. I really hope you click the links, totally worth it.

Wow... I had seen the original trailer without the translation. This is way cooler.

I wonder if any of these creepy crawly aliens will wear an Edgar-suit at some point in the flick.

"You want me to put my hands... on my head. like this?"

You guys DO realize that Blomkamp is Peter Jackson's new miracle baby director, right? And that Peter Jackson is the executive producer for the HALO film? And that he'll most likely get Blomkamp signed on to direct the HALO film?... Yes, I'm excited, too...

You guys DO realize that you better come with me... "I made need a snack."

I heard the Halo movie was cancelled. Also, you DO realize that this is awesome.

Also, I don't know where that quote is from.
