When I say "selected" with quotes, I say that because I have no true link for confirmation. But the "selected" director is none other than...
Neill Blomkamp
Don't know who he is? Neither do I. A small, South African director. Major movie credits? None. He did make a short film, Alive in Joburg, which I thought was pretty good. Reminds me of a more peaceful version of Halo.
As Xbox 360 fanboy says,
Choosing a little known director whose work has been primarily in commercials and short films is an interesting choice. Then again, Jackson himself started out making campy horror films (so did Sam Raimi of Spider-Man fame) so, who's to say?
I'm excited. The movie's "due" in the summer of '08, being pushed back.
