Director Neill Blomkamp Says His DISTRICT 10 Film Will Be "Stripped-Down and Bare Bones"

Director Neill Blomkamp is still working on his long-awaited sequel to District 9, which is titled District 10. The filmmaker has just been taking his time coming up with the right story to tell. Now he has it and is pressing forward with it. In a recent interview with THR, he talked about it and shared that it will be a stripped-down and bare bones movie.

“I think the approach of the first film is correct; it’s just really a question of the script. If there’s slightly more stuff happening in the script, then you need slightly more money. But I think it would still be as stripped-down and bare bones as we could make it. That becomes more nimble and more creative, and personally, I like that.”

Blomkamp previously opened up about District 10 and said that the story takes cues from "a topic in American history.” He said:

"That script continues to be written. It's looking good. It took a decade to figure out, to come up with a reason why to make that film as opposed to just make a sequel.

"There was a topic in American history that the second I realized that that fit into the world of District 9, it felt like an awesome way to do a sequel. So yeah, it continues to be developed and it's getting a lot closer."

Blomkamp didn’t offer any details about what that topic would be, but I’m really curious to see what exactly he’s planning for this next chapter of the story.
