Neill Blomkamp uses YouTube, Twitter, Steam to fuel new sci-fi series

There’s a new sci-fi series out that’s must-view material, but it’s not the new season of Black Mirror. This one is from none other than film director Neill Blomkamp (District 9, Elysium, Chappie). 

Launched on YouTube under the name Oats Studios, the series of 20-minute films takes us on trips through alternate realities featuring invading aliens, rogue parasites, tech-powered jungle myths, and even god itself controlling the fate of mankind with laboratory-style experimentation. 

The latest, titled Zygote, launched on Wednesday and stars Dakota Fanning (War of the Worlds, Man on Fire, Twilight Saga) in a terrifying short that has her fighting for her life in a deserted outpost against a creature whose screams will haunt your nightmares. Another episode in the series, called Rakka, stars Sigourney Weaver leading a revolt against an alien horde attempting to enslave the entire planet.  Read more…
