Originally, the aliens were conceived as hulking creatures with leathery skin and tentacled faces, and were intended to be performed by actors in creature suits. The "prawn" creatures were initially meant to be "masters" of the tentacle-faced creatures (keeping with the idea that the aliens were slaves).

5.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: District 9 (2009)?
a.		William Allen Young is the only American actor in the entire film.
b.		The word "humbug" is misunderstood by many people, which is a pity since the word provides a key insight into Scrooges hatred of Christmas. The word "humbug" describes deceitful efforts to fool people by pretending to a fake loftiness or false sincerity. So when Scrooge calls Christmas a humbug, he is claiming that people only pretend to charity and kindness in an scoundrel effort to delude him, each other, and themselves. In Scrooges eyes, he is the one man honest enough to admit that no one really cares about anyone else, so for him, every wish for a Merry Christmas is one more deceitful effort to fool him and take advantage of him. This is a man who has turned to profit because he honestly believes everyone else will someday betray him or abandon him the moment he trusts them.
c.		They actually did film in a Costco, on a working schedule between the hours of 9:00 pm and 9:00 am. Since they were there for such long hours, members of the crew were trying clothes on and looking through the other products so Costco kept a cash register open all night long so that anyone could purchase things.

6.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: District 9 (2009)?
a.		The movie was being produced by the same company, and at the same time, as G.I. Joe: The Movie. It had been agreed that both movies would suffer the loss of the lead heroes, Optimus Prime and Duke. Production had begun on G.I. Joe first, and was thus expected to be released first. During the production of the two films, G.I. Joe was held up while Transformers finished production. Release dates were changed and Transformers got theatrical release in 1986. Optimus Primes death sparked some controversy and caused the writers to change Dukes death to a coma. G.I. Joe never got to the theaters, and was released to video instead. Had G.I. Joe been released first, Optimus Prime might have survived.
b.		To obtain the musculature to convincingly play Superman, Christopher Reeve underwent a bodybuilding regime supervised by David Prowse, the man who played Darth Vader in the original "Star Wars" trilogy.
c.		Garn Stephens refused to wear the prosthetic mask during the misfire scene. So a body double was used to complete the scene.
d.		Two Toyota Hiluxes were "weaponized" into MNU armored "gun trucks" by Wetas vehicle and engineering department crew.

a.		The movie was made over 7 days and cost $10,000.
b.		Director Anthony Waller filmed Alec Guinness scenes nine years before the rest of the film from an earlier draft of the screenplay. Guinness gave his performance in one morning before catching a plane. When Waller needed an additional scene, he used the film from earlier and reversed it.
c.		The first TriStar film to be nominated for an Academy Award for Best Picture since As Good as It Gets.
d.		Although this film was from the novel of the same name, much of the story is autobiographical.

Located in the bucolic Merryall section of town, the house recently sold for $1.2 million.

8.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: District 9 (2009)?
a.		The helicopter crash in Operation Firestorm was achieved by setting up a rig where a real fuselage came crashing down in front of the camera. The body of the copter, however, was empty and without rotor blades; it thus fell to the VFXperts to render these into the scene.

After Collins departure, Audrey Hepburn was considered as a replacement by producer Walter Wanger. Wanger then offered the role to Elizabeth Taylor. He called her on the set of her latest film, Suddenly, Last Summer and related the offer through Taylors then husband Eddie Fisher who had answered the phone. As a joke, Taylor replied "Sure, tell him Ill do it for a million dollars." This then unheard-of sum was accepted and in October 1959 Taylor became the first Hollywood star to receive $1 million for a single picture.

a.		The movies original budget was $36 million. Just before filming was to begin, Cannon Pictures, which was experiencing financial problems, slashed the budget to $17 million. As a result, the filmmakers cut corners by doing things like reusing special effects.
