Blomkamp admits he’s a gamer but the idea of turning District 9 into a game ”stresses me out a little”, all because these tie-ins ”rarely work.”
”I think a virtual environment of the slums of Soweto is an appealing idea to me. The weapons are cool, too,” Blomkamp told the LA Times, reports Big Download.
”I play a lot of video games.” He worked with Peter Jackson on District 9, with Blomkamp having co-written and directed the sci-fi flick. ”The idea of “District 9” as a video game stresses me out a little bit because games based on movies rarely work.”
He made clear that no game was currently in production anywhere, it’s all in the thinking stage for the time being. Would you welcome District 9 into the gamer space?
