Now that the Oscars are done and considering District 9 (review) has now been on DVD for months and is soon to become a sci-fi film that we’ll look at fondly for years to come, I thought it might be nice to post this talk which I recently discovered of Neill Blomkamp talking at TEDx Vancouver.
If you’re not familiar with TED and the famous TED Talks, you’re seriously missing out but you can educate yourself here.
Back to Blomkamp’s talk. Admitedly, it doesn’t have a whole lot to do with the film directly but I found the research that went into the story of the film fascinating. The talk itself is a sort of re-hash of the science and ideas that Blomkamp was considering when he created the aliens in his film and the back-story that got them to earth in the first place. It’s a very interesting talk and one I really enjoyed. Who knows, maybe one of the other District 9 fans will appreciate it too.
Video after the break.
