District 9 director Neill Blomkamp has begun speaking about follow-ups to his hit film (before a lot of the world has even seen the first one yet...) and here is what he had to say.

 



On a sequel to District 9:
"I've got an inclination of an idea, but it's so not fleshed out yet. However if it was done well, it would be cool to make another one. But there's nothing official yet, other than the studio saying they want one - it's just the case of what the hell it is! It could go a lot of different ways, like what happens to Wikus? How do you wrap that character up? Does he become human again? I'd have to really think about how it goes."

On the chances of a prequel story:
"The only reason to do a prequel is because I find Wikus such a hilarious character and that I feel like I want to see more of him. If you take him at the beginning of this film, he's a more interesting character to me, so I'd like to see two hours of him being that character, but that's the only reason to go backwards."

On his involvment with the Halo film project:
"In regards to Halo, my involvement is probably dead. I don't want it. If they came back and offered it to me I'd say 'no'."


...so that's the end of that chapter.
