Wikus van de Merwe is the main protagonist in the 2009 movie District 9.
District 9 is about these cockroach-looking aliens (which i know sounds gross, but they look really cool) that non intentionally landed on Earth and have been stranded there for 28 yrs. Then MNU, a gov't agency that takes care of relations with the Prawns - name for alien species on Earth. A man, named Wikus goes into District 9 with several others MNU people to evict the aliens into District 10. He finds this cylinder thing filled with a black liquid. He sprays it on his face by accident and gets "sick" from it. Slowly, Wikus is changing into a Prawn as well. Btw, he confiscated that from another Prawn called Christoper Johnson. So now, he goes to hospital and under a cast he has (he broke his arm while in District 9) a total alien hand is there. Doctors secretly want to extract everything from him because, with his alien hand, he can use alien weapons (that work only with alien DNA). He escapes and finds Christoper again in District ( (he's now a fugitive on the run and went to hide there). Together Wikus and Christoper try to get the liquid back from MNU and use it (becuase that liquid is a "fuel-like" thing that'll power the Mothership of the aliens. They get back the fuel after breaking into MNU facility and escaing n a stolen MNU jeep. They, after a series of events, get the Mothership working. And the reason Wikus had agreed to help Christoper is because Christoper said he could fix him and turn him human again. Wikus stays behind, tough, to delay the MNU guys that are trying to get Wikus into custody. Then at the very end of the movie, right before the credits, you see a greenish Prawn making a metal rose out of scrap metal. We're guessing it's Wikus finally transformed into a Prawn making a rose for his wife, who he of course had to leave behind as an alien hybrid... thing. :) Sources: District 9 movie, Internet, District 9 trailer - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vC2V9IFUQNE&feature=fvst; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_BjWEn5yvmw

District 9 is 2009 film written and directed by Neill Blomkamp. It stars Sharlto Copley, Jason Cope and David James. Years before the film is set, an alien mothership hovers above Johannesburg in South Africa, the aliens (also known as prawns) are located to a slum (called District 9). Wikus van de Merwe (Copley) is head of relocating the 'prawns' to a new camp (District 10). It was produced by Peter Jackson. It was nominated for 4 Academy Awards such as Best Editing and Best Adapted Screenplay.
Possibly, but it may not be called District 10. Believe it or not, according to Wikipedia, Neil Blomkamp has said that the next movie will be a 'prequel' of sorts. I'm sure he means that 1. There is further investigation into the lives of the non-humans, and 2. It will show what life was like in Africa before District 9/10. This also means that Wikus will be a human and Colonel Koobus Venter will be alive. However, if the sequel is about the aftermath of District 9 and the move to District 10, then Wikus will surely be a prawn and Venter will be dead. Yes there will be a District 10 movie!!!!
No. it would of been in the press if an alien camp was set up in Johannesburg.
It may, if the producers believe it will make a profit
This is how I think Elysium could be a sequel to District 9. The reason the entire earth is destroyed is not only manmade disasters but a war with the Prawns. It's possible that when the alien from District 9 got off earth he brought an invasion fleet to not only rescue everyone else but to declare war on humanity but humans won the war but at the cost of the earth being destroyed so the rich people built Elysium for that reason as well. Also the reason Sharlto Copley's character is evil is because Before the invasion fleet arrived the alien that promised to heal Wikus healed him but the invasion fleet ended up killing his family so he became twisted and insane but the people in Elysium used their medical beds to keep him alive for over a hundred years.
It's Called "District 9" and it is ridiculous!
A non-human from District 9 would resemble a humanoid alien with insect-like features, including a crustacean-like body, tentacles, and a prawn-like appearance. They typically have a rough, exoskeleton skin and exhibit advanced technology capabilities.
