2LP Deluxe Expanded Edition Includes Bonus Tracks, Poster, and Promotional Lobby Card!
The District 9 deluxe expanded edition includes the eleven tracks from the original 30 minute album plus an additional eight bonus tracks comprising 25 minutes of previously unreleased original score by composer Clinton Shorter, presented here for the very first time in any format.
Released on vinyl for the first time, the deluxe double LP packaging includes full color gatefold jacket, 12" x 24" double sided poster insert and a bonus reprint of the "Humans Only" promotional marketing lobby card from the film's original 2009 theatrical release.
A critical success and breakout fan-favorite film of the Summer 2009 movie season, District 9 was nominated for four Academy Awards including Best Picture. District 9 was the full-feature directorial debut from South African-born director Neill Blomkamp, who has since gone on to direct the critically acclaimed 2013 film Elysium.
Over twenty years ago, aliens made first contact with Earth. Humans waited for the hostile attack, or the giant advances in technology. Neither came. Instead, the aliens were refugees from their home world. The creatures were set up in a makeshift home in South Africa's District 9 as the world's nations argued over what to do with them. Now, patience over the alien situation has run out. Control over the aliens has been contracted out to Multi-National United (MNU), a private company uninterested in the aliens' welfare. MNU will receive tremendous profits if they can make the aliens' powerful weaponry work. So far, they have failed; activation of the weaponry requires alien DNA.
The tension between the aliens and the humans comes to a head when MNU begins evicting the non-human from District 9, with MNU field agents responsible for moving them to a new camp. One of the MNU field operatives, Wikus van der Merwe (Sharlto Copley), contracts an alien virus that begins changing his DNA. Wikus quickly becomes the most hunted man in the world, as well as the most valuable--he is the key to unlocking the secrets of alien technology. Ostracized and friendless, there is only one place left for him to hide: District 9.
