A SCI-FI epic will be the next movie to be shown as part of the Films in Peel programme.
District 9, was nominated for four Oscars last year including Best Motion Picture and Best Visual Effects.
The film starts in 1982 with the arrival of a huge spaceship which lands in Johannesburg bearing a bedraggled population of aliens nicknamed the "prawns".
Fast forward to 2010 and the initial welcome by the human population has faded. The prawns are confined to a refugee camp where they are exploited and live in squalor.
The munitions corporation, Multi-National United, is contracted to forcibly evict the population. The principal and previously unknown actor, Sharpto Copley, plays the operative Wikus van der Merwe who is eventually exposed to a strange alien chemical and must rely on the help of his only two new prawn friends.
District 9 will be shown at 7.45pm on Wednesday, March 23, at the Peel Centenary Centre. Doors open at 7.15pm.
Tickets are £4 or £3 for concessions and are available from Celtic Gold in Peel, Mostly Manx and Peter Norris in Douglas, Shakti Man in Ramsey and Thompson Travel in Port Erin.
The film is a certificate 15 and does contain violence and bad language.
