No movie is more under the radar this summer than DISTRICT 9, from producer Peter Jackson and director Neill Blomkamp. Perhaps it’s because the summer season is so crammed with explosion-heavy action extravaganzas and kid flicks, or maybe Sony is just guessing that the film won’t reach a massive audience anyway because of its heady subject matter. No matter, it’s still a flick we should be looking forward to, as we need more smart sci-fi in our lives.

The trailer has just premiered, and of course we got it for yo ass. It’s really just a teaser, giving you the basic idea of what should be a complex and odd piece of work from Blomkamp, who one point was supposed to direct the HALO movie. DISTRICT 9 is based on Blomkamp’s terrific short film ALIVE IN JOBURG, which you should definitely seek out.
