Fresh photos from Comic-con seem to be flooding in on a minutely basis, but one which certainly caught our eye this afternoon is this still from South African sci-fi flick District 9.

Neill Blomkamp's feature looks to be the new Cloverfield in its leftfield-turned-blockbuster scope and shakey-hand-cam production. That and the fact that it is presented to the world by none other than shaggy-haired Hobbit-helmer Peter Jackson.

The new shot shows alien-infested agent Wikus, played by David Arquette-alike Sharlto Copley. And accompanying him is one serious weapon, which would put Hellboy's Big Baby to shame.
