	'''''District 9''''', abbreviated ''D-9'', is a 2009 science fiction film directed by [[Neill Blomkamp]] and produced by [[Peter Jackson]]. Released August 13, 2009 internationally and August 14, 2009 in North America, the film is set in a near-future Johannesburg, South Africa, several decades after an insectlike alien race arrives in the city. Apparently leaderless and unable to leave, the creatures are confined to a squalid shanty town secured by private military contractors working for the MNU corporation. Told partly in the "found footage" format, the film follows an MNU bureaucrat ([[Sharlto Copley]]) as he is tasked with evicting the creatures to a new settlement outside of Johannesburg. During the course of his job, he is accidentally infused with the DNA of the aliens, leading him to slowly transform and become something less than human. ''District 9'' was based on ''[[Alive In Joburg\|Alive in Joburg]]'', a short film by also by Blomkamp featuring Sharlto Copley, Simon Hansen and Shanon Worley in acting roles.

Leigh Burne: Tweaks to the intro; Van Der Merwe isn't captured by the aliens. Also, the movie definitely moves away from the found footage style as it progresses.
