7 Movie Sequels You Forgot You Wanted

7. District 10

Science fiction films are always near the top of the list when sequels are being touted. However, one proposition has been sorely neglected thus far. District 9, released back in 2009 garnered rapturous critical acclaim with five Oscar nominations for its interpretation of sensitive real-life struggles, in a fictional Earth annexed by a sickly alien species. As a political allegory of the apartheid, writer and director Neill Blomkamp still manages to instill entertainment into the film alongside the poignant message, proving with its successes at the box office, grossing over $200 million.

Since District 9, Blomkamp has kept up with sci-fi but neither the poor Elysium or the even poorer Chappie lived up to the standards of his debut film and it could take a sequel to recapture the magic.

The South African-Canadian film-maker did recently confirm that he does plan on filming a follow-up, but not until he finishes other projects in his backlog. When a sequel is made, Blomkamp says he wants to make sure it honours the themes of the original.
