District 9 - Win a copy of the sci-fi thriller on Blu-ray

This competition has now closed.

Peter Jackson put on his producer's hat for the critically acclaimed sci-fi thriller District 9, which comes out on Blu-ray and DVD on 28th December. With Jackson at his back, first-time director Neill Blomkamp came up with some groundbreaking special effects to tell his enthralling allegorical story of aliens stranded in South Africa - and he was blessed, too, with a startling performance from newcomer Sharlto Copley as the film's hapless protagonist, a human who discovers what it is like to be the ultimate outsider on your own planet.

To celebrate the film’s release, the nice folks at Sony Pictures Home Entertainment have given us four copies of the film on Blu-ray - packed with bonus materials - to give away to four lucky winners. To be in with a chance to win, all you have to do is answer the following question correctly:

District 9 is set in which city?

a) Johannesburg

b) Cape Town

c) Milton Keynes

A film critic for over 25 years, Jason admits the job can occasionally be glamorous – sitting on a film festival jury in Portugal; hanging out with Baz Luhrmann at the Chateau Marmont; chatting with Sigourney Weaver about The Archers – but he mostly spends his time in darkened rooms watching films. He’s also written theatre and opera reviews, two guide books on Rome, and competed in a race for Yachting World, whose great wheeze it was to send a seasick film critic to write about his time on the ocean waves. But Jason is happiest on dry land with a classic screwball comedy or Hitchcock thriller.
