Peter Jackson talks District 9

There’s been some interesting promotions for “District 9” lately, and one is a contest held by IGN.com. The site recently sent two contest winners to Comic-Con to interview producer Peter Jackson, director Neill Blomkamp (a Jackson protege), and actor Sharlto Copley about the movie.

It’s a gritty sci-fi story that involves post-war apocalypse, barbed-wire enclosures, and exhausted alien refugees whose spaceship runs out of gas. Sounds fun, huh?! Hollywood Reporter has a great review of the film here. It hits theaters Aug. 14, 2009.
