Talk:Neill Blomkamp

message: Neill's Career section comprises 4 total mentions of his listed filmography; there's more content on a failed Halo franchise than two films that saw a wide release combined.  That seems a bit weird to me.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.140.123.88 (talk) 07:49, 6 March 2020 (UTC)
thread_title: Career section?

message: The link http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/32409849/ns/entertainment/ after talking about the movie Project 9, reveals information about his commercials he did which first got him noticed.  Someone might want to use that to find information about him for the article.  Dream Focus 13:31, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Valuable information 

message: What is the point of having this comment in Blomkamp's profile?  It seems like nothing more than an effort to discredit him.  Furthermore, I read the reference linking to Daniel Leab's and I don't see any mention of Blomkamp on the entire page.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.228.70.179 (talk) 06:45, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

message: Why does the section on Elysium conclude "Peter Jackson will not produce this project, instead it will be Blomkamp's first solo film". As far as I know there is no such thing as a "Solo Film" unless one is making it almost entirely alone (e.g. as Nina Paley did for Sita Sings the Blues).
Does this comment imply that the Elysium will not have a producer other than Blomkamp (There are three on the films IMDB page) or tat somehow Jackson deserves some credit for co-directing District 9? There's never been a hint of this elsewhere.
If one of the Coen's or the Wachowski's made a film without the other then indeed you could call tat informally their first "solo film", but if Tarantino made a film without Laurence Bender as producer, while it would be a notable change, I doubt anyone would call such a film Tarantino's first "solo film"?
If no-one objects I'll delete this part of the phrase "instead it will be Blomkamp's first solo film" in a couple of days.  Verlaine76 (talk) 16:28, 13 March 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  "First solo film" 

message: There is no such thing as a "South African-Canadian". Unless there is evidence that he has been granted Canadian Citizenship, I believe he is South African, regardless of where he currently resides. Furthermore, I sincerely doubt that Canada (as is the case with UK, Aus, etc) permit duel citizenship. The referenced article either made up "South African-Canadian" or perhaps Neil Blomkamp did. Perhaps he's ashamed to be called a South African outright or perhaps he's not aware that he is referred to as a South African-Canadian?  Either way, do us all a favour and call him one or the other (or South African-born Canadian)...and get rid of this completely unheard-of nationality.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.135.45.18 (talk) 18:43, 6 May 2012 (UTC)

message: I'm a little concerned with the title of "Alien 5" currently used to describe the upcoming Alien movie Blomkamp is working on. It's been reported that the film follows Aliens and will ignore Alien 3 and Ressurection. While it would be the fifth stand alone Alien movie it really isn't a sequel to anything except the first two Alien films. What do you all think? --Deathawk (talk) 04:48, 26 February 2015 (UTC)
