From the publisher:

District 9, one of the most successful movies of 2009, was nominated for four Academy Awards including Best Picture. Written and directed by Neill Blomkamp and produced by Peter Jackson, it deals with race relations through the language of science fiction, touching people the world over.

The Art of District 9: Weta Workshop tells the story from start to finish and illustrates the conceptual design process. How early sketches developed and evolved into the movie you saw on your screens.

Richard Taylor, Weta's Creative Director and five-time Academy Award winner, together with designers Greg Broadmore, David Meng, Leri Greer, and Christian Pearce, worked closely with Neill Blomkamp and have contributed hundreds of pieces of conceptual art to this book. Daniel Falconer, Weta designer and author of The Crafting of Narnia and The World of Kong, has collected the material and written The Art of District 9: Weta Workshop. The cover design is by Leri Greer.
