District 9 received four Academy Award nominations including Best Picture, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Achievement in Film Editing, and Best Achievement in Visual Effects. Praise of the film was directed at its social commentary, unique storytelling, and special effects and would be reflected through various accolades. The first District 9 was released in 2009 as Blomkamp's feature-length film debut and achieved both critical acclaim and box office success with many claiming it as an instant classic of the science fiction genre. Despite the cancellation of past projects, it appears that Blomkamp is returning to where it all began as District 10 continues development. The director has also been attached to various canceled projects such as Alien 5 and Robocops. Blomkamp's career continued with the release of films such as Elysium, Chappie, and Demonic, his most recent project. Thanks in no small part to the movie’s somewhat bleak, cliffhanger ending, which finds Sharlto Copley’s Wikus transformed into an alien, with Christopher jetting off into space and promising to return in three years with a cure.With an ending that teases more to the story, Blomkamp has hinted at a District 9 sequel, various times since the release of the original film with previous reports stating that it will be inspired by real-life American politics. Written by Blomkamp and Terri Tatchell, District 9 stars Sharlto Copley, David James, and Jason Cope as Christopher Johnson, District 9 was met with critical acclaim, with audiences having cried out for District 10 ever since. The government decides to relocate the aliens to another camp, resulting in one of the aliens, known as Christopher Johnson, crossing paths with bureaucrat Wikus van der Merwe, who is about to find himself the target of a nationwide manhunt. Leaping forward twenty years, the ship still casts a shadow over the city.
A population of sick and malnourished insectoid aliens are discovered living in squalor inside the ship, and are subsequently moved and confined to an internment camp, District 9. The tale begins in an alternate 1982, during which a giant extra-terrestrial spaceship arrives and hovers over the South African city of Johannesburg.
