Peter Jackson directed a team of South African actors in a science fiction movie set in Johannesburg.
[letheomaniac] It was actually directed by South African Neill Blomkamp - Peter Jackson was the producer. I know that's a little nit-picky, but we don't make many kick-ass movies here so I feel we should give our local talent all the credit and exposure we can Incidentally I saw Sharlto Copely (Wikus) in the A-team movie the other day, so District 9 has definitely launched at least one career so far.

[letheomaniac] Something that you may not know about the prawns from District 9 is that they are actually something of a South African in-joke. They are based on an equally horrifying although considerably smaller insect native to Southern Africa and particularly common in Johannnesburg that are known as Parktown Prawns. It is frequently noted that they look like some kind of horrible alien. Add to this the fact that they will squirt a stream of revolting fecal liquid at you when startled (such as when you are attempting to catch one and remove it from your house) and you have one of the nastiest insects ever to evolve. Behold the horror!
