Neill Blomkamp hasn’t directed a movie since Chappie half-a-decade ago – but he’s back. The 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:District 9 director has secretly filmed an enti꧃re “supernatural horror” movie during the pandemic.

reports that Blomkamp, his crew, and cast all went to Canada to film the movie &nꦍdash; a project that “is something the filmmaker has always wanted to make”.

It’s unknown yet what exactly the movie will entail – we don’t even have a title – but the nature of it catching us all by surprise is an intriguing one. It calls to mind 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Cloverfield Paradox, whic🍬h dropped on Netflix immediately following its 2018 Super Bowl tr꧒ailer.

The most exciting news, though, has to be a belated return to the director’s chair for Blomkamp. His distinctive sci-fi movies, from District 9 to Elysium, promised a long and fruitful Hollywood career. It’s stalled somewhat recently, with Blomkamp 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:leaving the Robocop Returns mo�💫�vie in 2019.

At th🅘e time, he said: “Off Robocop. I am shooting new horror/thriller and MGM can’t wait/need to shoot Robocop now.”

It’s unclear whether that horror/thriller is this secret project or The Inferno, a thriller starring Taylor Kitsch whi👍ch is due to shoot next year.

Blomkamp has dabbled in horror before. His much-anticipated Alien sequel eventually fell by the wayside – and even promised a send-off for Sigourney Wea꧃ver’s Ripley. Now, it seems, the South African dir☂ector has that itch again – and we can’t wait to see what he’s come up with on his trek north during one of the strangest periods in recent♕ years.
