:confused :confusedGreat sign! You and I must be late to the party since everyone else seems to have moved on in '09 or'10. I have a costume for D9 security from just after the film release and haven't worn it in a couple years. I should get it out of mothballs. Anyone who hasn't gotten over the film....does anyone know of plans for a sequel?

I tend to circle back around on stuff like this. I don't ever necessarily get over stuff I like, I just set it aside for a while.
I've heard rumors of a sequel but haven't done much digging to see if it's actually happening...

Okay, I know this is a necro post, but I have a question.
Does anyone know the name of the office building in Johannesburg the was used for MNU headquarters?
I've been on a bit of a D9 kick lately, and I was looking to make some paper props with the actual address. I've done a little research and I've found a building called Marble Towers that looks pretty close.
Any help would be appreciated.

Sorry to revive old thread but best to keep everything together in one place.
Firstly my screen grabs are pretty bad quality, but im using a phone to take pics of my Tv playing the blu ray as my PC wont run BR.
Started on the 'District 10' brochure Christopher shows his child. We only see the front and back, not whats inside.
Screen grab of front.
Back
The back logo i found online (below), but on the blu ray it looks like the triangles surrounding the ring are left off it and same with the text in the actual logo.
Grainy black text can just be seen underneath the logo on the brochure so i can only assume it says 'Paving the Way to Unity'.
So heres my end result. Sized for A4, to be folded in thirds making a brochure.
The main image on the front cover was easily found online, the bottom 3 are cropped down from larger images. I managed to find the source pic for the bottom middle and bottom right but not the bottom left. I had to fix up a screen grab for it so its not as HD as the others which are directly from the source pics.

Next is the 'Space Person Fine' that can be seen on the inside of the blue eviction notice folder Wikus carries around.
Screengrabs:
And mine:
Its sized on an A4 but im still working out its correct size. When i get the blue clipboard in hand, i will adjust as necessary.
As for accuracy, some of the text is just impossible to be exact when freeze framing the blu ray. Im pretty sure the overall layout is right and the spacing of boxes/lines etc. Im certain that it uses both English and Afrikaans text throughout.
The text that im certain on is:
'Amount payable' (translation also)
'Offisier Boete' afrikaans (translation also)
'$' sign
'comments' (translation also)
The rest is just my best guess, using the spacing as a guide, I filled with text that would be expected on this sort of document but which also has similar spacing.

Been working on an accurate Eviction Notice for a while now. The text has taken some time to figure out but 95% of it is accurate with only a few minor guesses.
I used the previous notice posted by Mike J. as a base to begin with and built from there.
Still a Wip as im trying to figure out the start of Question 4, and I want to do some versions with Wikus's notes filled in. I will post these when complete.

Completed blank notice with the few minor guesses I couldn't figure out highlighted opposite.
Sized for A4.
'Zone 4' version as seen up until Christopher and his pal Paul are evicted.
I was going to try filling in the handwritten text but it looks like Christopher's differs from the one Wikus is completing at his desk which is only partly legible anyway.
