I’ve already elaborated enough on District 9. But there is a newer version of the first teaser trailer; without the alien’s face being blurred and with subtitles during its interrogation. The translation of the alien’s words during this scene give us a better understanding of the potential story, as well as a more curious twist to this mysterious film. First of all, the alien’s face is creepy and disgusting, with its tentacle appendages twitching as it pleads with the human. Very real and well made. Top notch makeup/effects.

Here’s a transcript of the human-alien interrogation:

Man: Why are you here?
Alien: We didn’t mean to land here? We had no choice.
Man: Why don’t you just leave?
Alien: How can we go anywhere if you have our ship?
Man: How do your weapons work?
Alien: We mean you no harm. We just want to go home.

“We just want to go home,” it says. From the rest of the alien’s pleas, we can make the conclusion that the aliens had to land on Earth because of some sort of last resort emergency and/or mistake and are now being held captive by the humans; aka alien concentration camps as I referred to in the first D9 update. That’s a rather unique and original twist to the “alien invasion” bit. Needless to say this film keeps getting better and better and I am hook, line and sinker obsessed. You can be sure that there will be detailed updates on District 9 news as it occurs.
