Awesome District 9

Weta Workshop teamed up with Trishula Entertainment to create a board game based on the movie District 9. Set in the movie’s timeline, the game has you play one of four factions, with the goal of gathering the most tech and surviving until the end.

WETA makes full-size dupes of the first gun Wikus fired at MNU HQ for target practice. Based on the original design by Greg Broadmore, WETA says the weapon won’t fire unless you are part prawn.

The guys from How It Should Have Ended put their animated spin on the way that they think District 9 should have played out. Maybe it’s for the best that Wikus turned into a prawn after all.

While the full-size replicas have all sold out, you can get your hands on this 1/4-scale mini version of the assault rifle Wikus used to do his first target practice when he’s captured at MNU headquarters.

The brilliantly awkward Sharlto Copley, aka District 9’s Wikus van der Merwe, appeals to fellow South African Charlize Theron to present with him at the South African Music Awards.
