A strange viral teaser arrives on the net. Is it for Neill Blomkamp’s next movie? Step this way to see for yourself...
The Thanksgiving celebrations over in the US mean the normal tidal wave of news, rumours and gossip that typically surrounds Hollywood movies appears to have temporarily abated.
But during our daily investigations around the Internet, we discovered this mysterious clip, which originated in the newfangled iPad edition of Wired. Tucked away on one of the magazine's digital pages, the clip is apparently a teaser from District 9 director Neill Blomkamp.
Amounting to a little over a minute of shaky camera footage, the promo depicts a pair of anonymous chaps discovering the corpse of a grotesque, pig-like creature in what appears to be an abandoned industrial area. It's short, minimal and strangely disquieting.
So, what is it promoting? It's presumably a viral teaser for Blomkamp's next movie, but what is it? Whatever it is, we'll be fascinated to see it.
