His directorial debut was supposed to be a blockbuster, but it fell through unexpectedly?



The producer of this film is Peter Jackson, known for his work on the Lord of the Rings series. He has been actively involved in developing the project by interacting with studios and Microsoft in order to make the world-famous The Game``HALO'' into a movie. It was then that Neill Blomkamp was chosen as the manager. He was originally scheduled to make his directorial debut with this blockbuster, and key staff members had already been assembled and the content was being finalized.


However, the clouds gradually begin to change. Negotiations with Microsoft and the movie studio have been difficult, and there have been concerns about the cutting of production costs, the distribution of box office revenue, and the hiring of newcomer Blomkamp. In the end, Jackson decided that it was impossible to come to terms with the plan and decided to cancel the project.


Blomkamp lost Being There to make his debut as a director. The dream seemed far away. However, Jackson did not let this happen to ruin the opportunity for a young talent to make his debut. Instead of canceling ``HALO,'' the assembled members made a positive proposal to make another movie.


This was probably done to ensure that the efforts of everyone gathered did not end in vain. But more than that, it can be assumed that Blomkamp had similar feelings as a parent, wanting to firmly support Blomkamp and take care of him until he made his directorial debut.


It was at this time that Jackson's wife, Frances Walsh, was the first to suggest to Blomkamp, ​​``Why not turn that short story into a feature film?'' Without them, Blomgump would have been crushed by the harshness of the film industry and may never have had the opportunity to create District 9.


After that, it is still fresh in our minds that this film became a big hit all over the world despite its low budget. Being on the edge of a cliff can put a lot of pressure on a creator, but failures and setbacks often lead to great success later on. ``District 9'' is a great example of this and has a lot to say to us.
