Will There Be A Sequel To District 9? Here’s What We Know Sony By Sandy Schaefer/Dec. 3, 2021 11:48 am EST South African-Canadian filmmaker Neill Blomkamp caught the world off-guard with his feature directorial debut: 2009’s “District 9,” a movie that expanded the premise for his 2006 sci-fi short “Alive in Joburg” into a Paul Verhoeven-style blend of action, satire, and splatter gore.
