District 9 Director Sets Up New SF Film
SFX — [image] Although nobody’s saying what it’ll be about, the next film from District 9 director Neill Blomkamp is definitely going to be SF, according to Variety . Production company Media Rights Capital is going to produce the project which will begin production by the middle of next year, with Bill Block producing. Block is chief executive of QED, the company that was first to commit funding to District 9 before Sony's Worldwide Acquisitions Group acquired the film based on a Blomkamp-created graphic novel. MRC committed to the new project on the basis of Blomkamp's pitch and ...

Total Film News — It should come as no surprise to learn that District 9 director Neill Blomkamp has lined up the funding for his next movie. Media Rights Capital is giving him the cash - and, more importantly, the creative freedom - to make his next film, another sci-fi outing.

Rob Marshall ("Chicago") was in talks to take over for ...

Yes! According to the folks over at Variety, there’s a new Neill Blomkamp feature in the works. With QED CEO Bill Block producing (he was the first to commit funds to District 9), the yet-untitled sci-fi film will begin production next year.
