Sony Pictures Home Entertainment has officially announced that director Neill Blomkamp’s Oscar-nominated sci-fi favorite District 9 starring Sharlto Copley will be available to own for the first time on 4K UHD Blu-Ray on October 13, 2020. The Peter Jackson-produced film was nominated for four Academy Awards including Best Picture.
Synopsis: From producer Peter Jackson (The Lord of the Rings Trilogy) and director, Neill Blomkamp comes a startlingly original science fiction thriller that “soars on the imagination of its creators” (Peter Travers, Rolling Stone). With stunning special effects and gritty realism, the film plunges us into a world where the aliens have landed… only to be exiled to a slum on the fringes of Johannesburg. Now, one lone human discovers the mysterious secret of the extraterrestrial weapon technology. Hunted and hounded through the bizarre back alleys of an alien shantytown, he will discover what it means to be the ultimate outsider on your own planet.
