I heard somewhere this is a production test for a Halo movie. But, maybe not...

Thanks!

Personally i am very excited to see this! Being born in South Africa and understanding its past i appreciate what Neil Blomkamp is trying to portray with the movie.

If I remember right Blomkamp did some Halo shorts and was in negotiations to do a Halo movie. However, that feel through and he and the studio instead decided to go forward with a movie with some similar elements but an original IP.

It looks bad ass. It is a lot more action packed than I thought the movie was going to be.

Looks awesome.

This looks awesome.
FYI this is based off a short he made called Alive In Joburg. Its awesome. Too tired to dig the link up right now though. Its a great short. He also did another one called Temp Bot that I think could get a really good feature treatment. Niel was getting major studio attention before Halo fell in his lap. Now its back to his original ideas. I think he is going to be a great director.

The first trailer looked like this movie would be pretentious crap. (alien face blurred out... REALLY?!) This trailer was much more reassuring.

[Earth Djinn]

I was already really excited for this movie, and this trailer only served to build that excitement.

I think it still looks incredible.

[Chimpbot]

I had forgotten about this movie until I saw a brief commercial for it earlier tonight. It looked interesting...but now it's moved into "must see" territory after that trailer.

[Suicidal ShiZuru]

Finally a movie to be excited about!

The trailer sold me on it. Reminded me of Cloverfield.

[ÜberJumper]

This looks really good, and yes, I think this is a test case to see what Blokamp can do before a Halo movie.
