Director Neill Blomkamp developed a sequel to his hit science fiction film District 9 for years, and it looks like he’s getting very close to making the film, District 10, in production. Our latest update on the project comes from the original movie star Sharlto Copleywhich he shared in an interview with BroBible:
“Yeah, man, we worked. I did a draft, sent it back to him. He did a draft. It’s just tiring to find the right story. There were some things that were happening socio-politically that [Blomkamp] he felt that perhaps from the point of view of timing he did not want to go immediately. So maybe in a year, a year and a half [we’ll begin filming]. She wants to have something to say. “
So, they may actually start rolling this thing out in the next year or so. It’s been so long since the first movie was released, but there has been a continuing appetite from fans to see this story continue. Blomkamp previously said he “is still working on it” and that the film will happen “in the near future”. It looks like the near future is coming!
As for what we can expect from the film, the director previously shared that it will be an essential and bare film:
“I think the approach of the first film is correct; it’s really just a question of the script. If there are a little more things going on in the script, then you need a little more money. But I think it would still be the simplest and most bare-bones we could do. Become more agile and more creative and, personally, I like it. “
Blomkamp also teased the story and said it was inspired by “a topic in American history”. He said:
“That script continues to be written. It looks good. It took a decade to figure that out, to find a reason to make that movie instead of just doing a sequel.
“There was a topic in American history that the moment I realized it fit the world of District 9, it seemed like a great way to do a sequel. So yeah, it continues to develop and it’s getting very close.” .
There aren’t really any other details to share, but I’m excited to see what Blomkamp and Copley are planning for the film!
