The trailer for District 9 will be attached to Wolverine  in theaters.  I’ll be posting it on the site later today, but for now you can see it via Slashfilm. (Or watch the trailer in HD on Apple.com).

Above is the short film, Alive in Joburg directed by  Neill Blomkamp. This inspired the full length feature District 9.  It’s pretty amazing.  Check it out.

2009 looks like a pretty good year for Science Fiction! District 9 will hit theaters on August 14th 2009.
