After studying history for 40 years, I can't think what republics he refers to. I wonder if Mr Coburn could tell us where these republics he is talking about are located.

Their rationale was "excessive bio-mass destroying the global enviornment" Now, why the heck doesn't somebody make a film about something like that? "Outbreak" with Dustin Hoffman and renee Russo was a good effort but wouldn't it be better to get away from this explosion-filled SFX driven epics???

Most of us didn't have the talent, the time, or the guts to go out there, create something we believe in and show it to the world. This guy did it, got lucky and he is leaving the dream now. Good for him! I believe the lesson here guys is stop dreaming and talking and DO SOMETHING.

Panic Attack was essentially a special effects demo reel. Short films like Attackazoids, The Listening Dead and Treevenge have the potential to be made into great feature films.

I mean it's just a short film with robots blowing things up. So what? Why exactly are people impressed? The visual FX look pretty cool, but there really isn't a story or any clear sign this guy can direct or has a unique vision. Meh. Yeah I don’t get it either.

No one is selling the farm completely for the guy given that he's a rookie.

You hit the nail on the head. What a load of shit this is. You're all retards for talking it up like it's even in the same category of Blomkamp's work, besides the literal parallels? Read between the lines you fucktards. @G: Do you hate yourself then? You utterly fail at fucking reading comprehension. He was saying that the style of D9 is getting co-opted by Hollywood insiders, and that this may be what turns Jackson and Blomkamp of from making a sequel. NOT THAT ANYONE LITERALLY FUCKING READ A SCRIPT AND SAW THAT THIS WAS THE SEQUEL TO D9! God, don't you just hate idiots with brain deficiencies? @sad: Absolutely. You hit the nail on the head.

God i wish they let Blomkamp do the Halo movie the short teaser film looks so cool and gory.. it makes you really mad if you thing that he was rejected based on that material.. I guess the producers wanted to do something like GIGOE or Transformers But Blomkamp wanted to do a R18 masterpiece... FUCK hollywood..

It's not like they are throwing a $100 Mill a film franchise at him. He's getting a chance with a limited budget to show what he can do. At least wait til you see what comes of this before biting his head off. I'm curious and for now that's all it should be. I think it's pretty weak to trash someone for what they haven't yet done.

I say give this guy a shot and create a new generation of like 4 or 5 guys who do this style of realistic sci-fi for a low budget. Kind of like Zoetrop back in the day with Spielberg, Lucas, Coppola, Scorsese They were considered ground breaking back than. i'd like to see more of these guys. We'll nick name them, shitty to big budget boys. Besides its better to let someone new experiment than give Bruckheimer or Bay another 200 mil.
