Just in case you might have been wondering, yes, it is now officially confirmed what I said at the end of my District 9 review: there WILL be a sequel to District 9. And by director Neill Blomkamp’s own words, chances are it’ll be called District 10.

We all know that Neill Blomkamp is desperate to get back to the concept.  He’s on record as saying “I would do anything to go back to the world of District 9 again.  Or District 10.”

The sequel is, meanwhile, perfectly set up, with the “prawn” Christopher insisting that he’ll be “back in three years”, while his people are actively being moved to District 10.  Wikus, meanwhile, is stuck between bodies and may well be, by the time Christopher gets back, completely “prawn”.  The really nifty part here?  What will Christopher bring back with him?  A few dozen of those really awesome weapons?  A few dozen “prawns” to use them?  Or something even more horrifying?

No matter how you slice it, this is going to be amazing.
