Since it’s still fairly fresh, this will be brief, but please, stay tuned, because you know this stuff will be coming at us fast.First off being the quickest to start, is the return to viral marketing for the highly anticipated follow up film from Neill Blomkamp, who we all know made an amazing intro with his feature film District 9.
