10 Films That Teased Great Sequels (That Never Happened)

10. District 9

District 9 is a strange hybrid of a film; a blend of a mockumentary, a grisly body horror and a futuristic action film but with a strong whiff of social satire throughout. The plot is the only thing that is straightforward as we follow Wikus van de Merwe, a lovable and bumbling bureaucrat in charge of rehousing aliens in South Africa, while he slowly transforms into one of the 'fookin prawns' himself.

At the end of the film after Wilkus has gone off the radar, last seen halfway between prawn and human, Wilkus's wife reveals someone has left a flower made out of scrap metal on her doorstep. We are then shown Wilkus fully transformed into a prawn making said flowers waiting for his prawn friend 'Christopher Johnson' who promised he would return in three years time to reverse Wikus's alien transformation.

However, a decade later talks of a sequel remain just talks with no massive rush to follow up the journey of Wilkus the human prawn hybrid and the question of whether he was eventually cured. The film even finished with the ominous text 'District 10 now houses 2.5 million aliens and continues to grow...'. We are still awaiting answers.
