THE BUZZ: You might remember director Neill Blomkamp’s name from Halo, which is on pause for the foreseeable future. With the launch of D 9‘s viral-y official site, a clutch of fans rejoiced with the confirmation the project is a feature version of Blomkamp’s short film, Alive in Joburg. Since Peter Jackson is behind the effort, I’m thinking this exercise in lower-budget studio filmmaking is an attempt to show what can be done with Halo. This one has potential franchise written all over it, provided its Cloverfield-like marketing concepts appeals to more than boys.
