Director Neil Blomkamp Says The 'DISTRICT 9' Sequel Is Coming In The "Near Future"

In February of 2021, we last heard some rumblings about the sequel to District 9, which is currently titled District 10. Blomkamp had revealed in a tweet at the time that District 10 was currently being co-written by District 9 screenwriter Terri Tatchell along with star Sharlto Copley, but what is the latest news?

Blomkamp tells the website Dexerto in the latest update on the planned District 9 sequel, “I am still working on it… the answer is it’s within the near future.”

The filmmaker had told IGN back in July 2021, “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.” He teased in that chat, “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.”
