Neill Blomkamp is helping turn viral sci-fi short The Leviathan into a full movie
The epic and gorgeous sci-fi short film The Leviathan, which racked up over 1.5 million views after it was released last week, now has two big names on board ready to turn it into a movie. Neill Blomkamp, director of District 9, has signed on as an executive producer, and Simon Kinberg, producer of the latest X-Men movie, has signed on as a producer, according to Deadline. The short was put online last week as a proof of concept by director Ruairi Robinson, who hoped to turn it into a full feature. The video received a ton of praise and attention — and that seems to have given Robinson the momentum he needed to get Hollywood’s attention.
