Alien Invasion Video Stirs the Web
Okay, humans. This is not a drill. It's the summer movie season and the aliens are upon us: Time to pick a side.
The alien invasion flick "District 9" produced by Peter Jackson isn't out for another month. But a video warning of aliens on earth has hit the Web, sending humans searching for more details. You can see the "safety alert" video here. (Stick around to try out the video game, too.)
The documentary-style movie preview shows the aftermath of a non-human invasion into South Africa. Freaked-out humans speak directly into the camera about the fear of the alien life that's shacked up in the slums of their city. Seems that everyone can agree, the aliens should just pick up and go home. You can view the eerie trailer here.
One-day searches soared an other-worldly 262% for "district 9." Queries on other unearthly topics also peaked for "district 9 movie," "district 9 wiki," and "district 9 trailer." We assure you that we will also be monitoring the situation and will alert you should other signs of non-human invasions (or movies of said non-humans) appear. Buzz Log out.
