Neill Blomkamp recently started his own studio, but that hasn’t stopped him from planning to return to the world of District 9.
While talking about the new studio Blomkamp was asked if he was going to use Oats Studios to return to the world of any of his previous movies.
Probably not, no. In order to do that you would have to interact with the studios that own those films. The whole point here is to just be autonomous and just do whatever we want.
With District 9, I plan on making another film in that world. To go back and work with WETA, and make the film would be cool, but anything that pre-exists like that may not be the best fit for whatever we’re trying here.
District 9 was a smash hit that earned $230 million on a $30 million budget despite the R-rating shrinking the audience considerably. It also walked away with four Oscar nominations including Best Picture. The film stars Sharlto Copley, Jason Cope, and David James, and was adapted from Blomkamp's 2006 short film Alive in Joburg.
Thirty years ago, aliens arrive on Earth, not to conquer or give aid, but, to find refuge from their dying planet. Separated from humans in a South African area called District 9, the aliens are managed by Multi-National United, which is unconcerned with the aliens' welfare but will do anything to master their advanced technology. When a company field agent (Sharlto Copley) contracts a mysterious virus that begins to alter his DNA, there is only one place he can hide: District 9.
It’s been an eventful two years since Neill Blomkamp’s last film, Chappie, hit theaters. He spent part of that time working to develop a fifth installment of the Alien franchise, only to have it overtaken by Ridley Scott’s Alien: Covenant. Then Alien Covenant opened to less than thrilled reviews. And the fans felt nothing more than bored. The movie only made $36 million on opening weekend, and in its first 15 days, has thus far only pulled in a disappointing $64.3 million. Its worldwide take currently sits at $165.3 million. Ridley Scott was planning two more Alien: Covenant sequels to bridge the gap between them and the original Alien from 1979, but now the movie, with an estimated $97 million, is sitting on the edge of being a flop. In turn, Blomkamp's Alien 5 has becoming the unwilling victim in this scenario. And it's unclear if those other Alien movies Ridley Scott has planned will ever really happen.
