Now, one lone human discovers the mysterious secret of the extraterrestrial weapon technology. Hunted and hounded through the bizarre back alleys of an alien shantytown, he will discover what it means to be the ultimate outsider on your own planet

Thirty years ago, aliens arrive on Earth -- not to conquer or give aid, but -- to find refuge from their dying planet. Separated from humans in a South African area called District 9, the aliens are managed by Multi-National United, which is unconcerned with the aliens' welfare but will do anything to master their advanced technology. When a company field agent (Sharlto Copley) contracts a mysterious virus that begins to alter his DNA, there is only one place he can hide: District 9.

I've got hundreds of blu-rays, crazy when you see them for 50p
What the heck happened to the guy when he was in-flow?
I get the feeling there's an unheard story in which he ticked someone off because to go from peak Hollywood-can-do-no-wrong in a demanding genre like sci-fi to essentially reverting to the 8mm shorts of film-school is pretty drastic.
Might have to go fishing the gossip channels...
