Is isn't made by hollywood?


If it was what would it be like? Would it take place in LA or New York and the aliens live in, south central, or the bronx doing drve-bys on each other?

It's independent, but it is still an American movie made by a South African and set in South Africa.

how is it still an american movie if it was made in south africa by a south African? americans just love to take credit for everything dont they/

The movie was probably funded by an American studio. Therefore that would make it an American film.

Not that there's anything wrong with that!

That's right. QED International, a film production studio, financier and international distributor, fully financed the film.

So every movie produced by Sony is a Japanese movie?

In case anyone ever reads this post, I want to ensure people get accurate information.

Sony Pictures Studios which falls under Sony Pictures Entertainment which falls under Sony Corporation of America is simply a subsidiary of Sony. That in itself means it is technically an American company as it is a separate legal entity of Sony.

As for QED International also being based here in LA (I live just blocks away from Sony Studios and drive by it all the time), yes it means it is an American movie.
