”Blomkamp has stated that he would love to revisit the world he has created with District 9, but that it hinges on the success of the first film. For now, the South African-born filmmaker is heading home to Vancouver to write a new and original science fiction screenplay set on another planet. Blomkamp’s story line? That’s a closely guarded secret for now, but what the young writer/director will reveal is that he wants to cap the budget at $45M. His rationale? Once a film’s cost soars beyond that, filmmakers lose control and it becomes a studio project.
Cinema Spy. You need to see District 9. Right now. Run, don’t walk.
