I snapped this on the way to the subway this evening - a fantastic execution of guerilla street advertising for the upcoming District 9 movie (and you'll find a lot of great site experiences on that link) The location, the way it was painted, and the public information style - all just made me think this was exactly how this kind of stuff should be executed. Pitch perfect.
I saw the trailer at the weekend (before the godawful Transformers dreck) and it looks like the movie has been made with the same attention to detail. Really looking forward to it.
After the jump, I've embedded the original short film on which the movie is based.

Damn! I may just have to go to the movies again..... I had lost all hope.
Stylistically it looks cool. But thematically, it looks like it's going to hammer you with the "don't hate the other" message for two hours. Being preached to is not my idea of a good time. I'll take Transformers.
Looks promising. Alien Nation with real aliens and real humans.
Great. Whoever did that should get a raise. I have high hopes for the film. Brilliant premise.
Um, I think that's the place Homeless Frank lives.
Now I'm officially looking forward to this one.
the trailer makes it look like an action film rather than a statement on immigration and differences, i kinda wish it wasn't so michael bay influenced...
Awwwwww!
They just want to go home. Let their "people" go.
