I'm surprised no-one's picked up on this new movie yet: link A nice idea for a movie… It has one the nicest twists in the trailer I've seen,and there are some interest fake company websites and blogs as part of the marketing push to fill in the backstory. They've done the same with the 2012 movie (the detail here is quite impressive actually with end of the world scenarios link cheers Phillip

Gee, you could make a neat TV show out of that. It could be a buddy cop story. You could call it….I don't know…Alien Nation :-) In truth, this may drag me into the movie theater for the first time in a long time.

It's not a Sequel to Alive in Jo'burg, it's a total re-do of the movie

It is an expansion of the short film, into a full size movie. Seems to be much like 12 Monkeys from La Jetée but much with much more similarity of visualizations.

Ah. I knew there was too much similarity to be coincidental. Thanks. CC
