Pacific Rim has released some effective online teasers over the last few months that have offered a glimpse at the epic scale of the film without revealing any plot points or surprises. The movie’s Facebook page was recently updated with another such tease, but instead of newscast screenshots of Kaiju cleanup sites or posters of the different Jaegers, this new poster is of the more subtle variety. Hit the jump for more.
Back in November, we told you about the beginning of a viral campaign for the upcoming sci-fi adventure comedy Men in Black III. There hadn’t been much movement, unfortunately, until today, when we got a new activity that should remind you of District 9. Details after the break.

It’s not about District 10, either. In fact, the video is in no way related to District 9, or any of the filmmakers behind the movie. It is, however, tied to Sony Pictures, the studio behind the District 9 campaign. This silent and mysterious video is from no other than Battle: Los Angeles.

It’s a pretty common occurance to see video ads display before opening up an app or watching video on the Apple iPad. However, in the latest iPad version of Wired Magazine (issue 18.12), a mysterious and unexplained video appears instead, and it’s credited by District 9 director Neil Blomkamp. What could this be?
Even a year after its release, District 9 just can’t stop its roll of nominations and merchandise. Visual effects production house WETA’s new book, The Art of District 9: WETA Workshop, contains more than just a series of concept art pictures.

Today we’ve got some cool fan made productions for two of our biggest films we’ve covered. First, a few months ago, MNPC Tech did a computer mod on a Cooler Master 840 ATCS, and they chose a District 9 theme. You can follow how they did it here, and see a few pictures of the computer, as well as a video of the build, after the break. Also after the break are some photos of a really cool concept hoodie (and a t-shirt, though that didn’t catch my eye much) that Nicholas Miller designed after Tron Legacy.
Yesterday was the start of San Diego Comic-Con 2010, and what a day it was. Last night was “Preview Night”, which had all the booths open for us to look at, experience, and take swag. Watch my video compilation of the night after the break, along with some of my thoughts on my first trip to Comic-Con.

We don’t get to see a lot of good District 9 parody videos here at MovieViral, but the sports comedy group 12 Angry Mascots has done a great job with their video “District 11: World Cup Aftermath”, featured on Atom.com. The video spoofs the Academy Award nominated film and the World Cup by replacing the aliens with foreign soccer fans. Given that both take place in South Africa, it’s a perfect fit. Check it out below, and let us know what you think.
