Neill Blomkamp Short Stars Sharlto Copley As God

We learn a lot about God in the new short from District 9 director Neill Blomkamp.

For starters, God is apparently British. He also relies heavily on the help of his butler named Jeffrey. But, perhaps, most importantly, he seems to watch over mankind with amusement, like people are toys, and he isn't afraid to wipe everyone out without blinking.

District 9 star Sharlto Copley (a frequent collaborator of the director) plays the almighty in God: Serengeti, the latest short from Blomkamp's Oats Studios. The four-minute video is one of a series that Blomkamp has been posting online for free in hopes that fans will tell him what to do next. 

He previously released Rakka, a 22-minute film starring Sigourney Weaver that's as bizarre as it is intriguing.

Check out God: Serengeti above, then find out why we never got to see a District 9 sequel.
