One thing I like best about the viral campaign for District 9 is its consistency, the way it has stuck to a series of striking images-- the "humans only" posters, the vague images of urban destruction-- in order to build a recognizable look for a film that most people have still never heard of. And while the latest poster, available at Yahoo! Movies, shows a lot more detail than most of what we've seen, it still fits nicely with everything that's come before.
What's so cool about it is that it shows off the alien spaceship that apparently hovers over Johannesburg years after aliens have settled in the city and been relegated to a ghetto called District 9. You saw the spaceship a little in the first teaser trailer, and it's not like the ship is so intricate that a better look at it reveals anything. Still, it's cool to see other elements of what I guess we can call the District 9 mythology working its way into the advertising.
Check out a smaller version of Yahoo!'s poster below.
