District 9 Assault Rifle Replica


If you have seen District 9, you know that the props by Weta Workshop are pretty amazing. If you somehow haven’t seen the movie, you are really missing out. The folks at Tested teamed up with prop maker Bill Doran and effects artist Frank Ippolito to replicate the movie’s Alien Assault Rifle and alien hand.

The finished items are amazing, but we already knew they would be with these talented people working on them. This stuff is so fun to watch. The video walks through the process of building each item.

Neill Blomkamp Was Working on an Alien Movie

Neill Blomkamp working on an Alien movie? I like that idea. Can you even imagine what such a movie would look like? Well, just check out these images. The other day he posted some concept art from an Alien project that he was working on.

Apparently he was not working on this for the studio officially, but just for kicks. Now I just want to see this movie come to life. It would have been a wild ride, that’s for sure. Excuse me while I stare at these images for a few hours and dream of what could have been.

The District 9 Theatrical Trailer Gets A Paper Reboot

If you enjoyed Neil Blomkamp’s 2009 sci-fi masterpiece District 9, you will get a kick out of this District 9 theatrical trailer recreated in paper. It is sure to put a smile on your face and make your day. It’s like the creators of South Park have sweded the movie.

This humorous and very well done parody trailer is the work of Tim Kent. Great work Tim.
