Even with a cast of "unknowns" (here in North America, at least).

Terminator Salvation was $200 million and not very compelling.

Time for "Geek Math" as the Playlist would probably call it. But Blomkamp (and Jackson producing?) for the next Terminator movie could be pretty cool.

You're not Pauline Kael here, you're a fucking BLOG.
DEAL WITH IT.

neill put a solid 2 years of his life into his film. if there's anyone who's worked the hardest on district 9, it's neill.

it's HIS story, HIS vision, branched from HIS experience.
it's HIS film.

what's even more embarrassing and pathetic is that shitty site you linked yourself to.
drink some kool-aid.

Then we never heard from those guys again.

Nobody knows who the fuck he is. This only means that this guy has a massive ego and is pretty impressed with himself. It's embarassing and pathetic.

Glad to see that the hype appears to have been lived up to for District 9.
