Before the Academy Awards, MTV talked to the director about being at the ceremony. He was obviously taken back by the insanity of the experience, then he was asked about the sequel. Blomkamp is currently working on another sci-fi film, but the prawns will definitely return.

Check out the video below to see the quick chat with Blomkamp.

Extra Tidbit: Sharlto Copley ad-libbed all his lines during the "documentary" sequences for D9. "Oh! I haven't shown you a picture of my wife! Here she is, my angel. I tell people she actually looks like an angel, you see here? The white looks like a halo on her head. Can you see that? She's my angel, you're picking that up on your cameras there! They probably won't keep that in the film but... "

Fine by me
I'm glad Neill's proceding with his own project, but isn't this old news? Neill's said for a while that he was going to do something of his own before returning to the D9 universe. Plus, Peter Jackson's going to be busy with Tintin and The Hobbit for the foreseeable future.

We need to see what else...
... the man has in his head. Can't lock him into a franchise yet. Good directors get stuck making endless movies about Hobbits or Spiderman or Batman. Good new ideas are good too.

Agree with the gentlemen below
Take your time and sort out a good script. Neill has a good vision as a director and can tell a fine story. All he now needs is a good script. Will keep an eye out for his next project.

No rush on the D9 sequel, Neill. Let it sit and boil for a while and then get to it when you get to it. I want quality, not speed.
